WRC teams pushing FIA to keep current Rally1 rules for 2025
Toyota, Hyundai, and M-Sport have collectively written a letter to the FIA requesting the current Rally1 technical rules stay in place until the end of 2026. The FIA’s working group proposed changes to rally regulations for the future, to be voted on in June. While WRC Rally1 teams support sporting changes, they oppose the FIA’s plan to remove hybrid power and reduce performance in Rally1 cars. Teams are concerned about the tight timeframe for implementing these changes and the potential impact on competitiveness. Hyundai, especially, has expressed concerns and frustrations over the proposed changes and timeline for next year. Toyota is in talks with the FIA to find a compromise regarding the aggressive changes outlined in the FIA’s vision.
