FIA: 80% of WRC Rally1 car to carry over for 2027 regulations
The FIA has been working on the next set of WRC regulations for the past two years, following the introduction of the Rally1 hybrid era last year. The Rally1 regulations have resulted in the development of new cars that have a stronger chassis and generate 500 horsepower from a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine along with a 100kW hybrid kit. These cars are powered by sustainable fuel. While the full details of the 2027 technical regulations have not been confirmed, the FIA has provided some information, stating that the cars will incorporate a hybrid powertrain. The goal is to reduce costs while retaining 80% of the current Rally1 DNA. A final set of regulations is expected to be announced in 2024, and manufacturers will have two years to prepare for the launch in 2027. The FIA aims to attract four manufacturers to participate in the WRC, and there is already interest from several companies, including Subaru and Toyota.
