FIA not at war with manufacturers over 2025 WRC technical rules
The WRC is currently facing uncertainty over its technical rules for the next season as the FIA proposed changes strongly opposed by manufacturers. The FIA released its vision for the future of the championship in February, including proposed changes to various aspects. Toyota, Hyundai, and M-Sport Ford collectively requested the current Rally1 technical rules to stay, opposing the FIA’s proposed changes such as hybrid power removal and aerodynamic modifications. The proposed changes aim to bring Rally1 cars closer to Rally2 vehicles and increase competition at the top end of rallies. A compromise is being sought, with a decision expected by June after discussions with manufacturers. Wheatley from the FIA emphasized the need for harmony and communication with manufacturers to reach a solution on the technical rules.
