Analysis: What to expect from the FIA on WRC future
On Wednesday, the FIA will unveil a new concept shaping the future of the WRC, with a focus on the top category Rally1 hybrid class. The decline in manufacturers and entries prompted this action following a working group’s evaluation last December. Led by FIA Deputy President Reid and Motorsport UK Chairman Richards, the group aims to address Rally1 until 2032, exploring options like Rally2 or a modified Rally2 Plus formula. Recent consultations with stakeholders and fans will influence the decision-making process, with a clearer roadmap expected after this week’s concept release. Regulations for 2027 onwards will be finalized by June, aiming for a compromise that benefits all parties involved.
