btw pajari fell down the podium at the ceremonial finish
I hate that we only get the toned down wrc podium

Hyundai say they're going to keep developing and bringing upgrades till the end of the season but they still haven't committed to the 2027 regs.

Takamoto-sama... I kneel....

>>154211669
yeah but from 2027 even if they are staying they will use their existing Rally2 car, possibly until hybrid is allowed again

>>154212051
if I'm Lancia and I'm eyeing a push into WRC1 next season with that Ypsilon I definitely try to go and pluck Thierry from Hyundai. The talent is there, it's just the manufacturer is such a shitshow. I think with Neuville, Rossel, and Gryazin they could be competitive for a manufacturers title under the new specs.

>that one time a kit car won overall and FIA had to change the rules
maybe we'll see more upsets like that with the new regs.

FIA highlights pointed out that the last man before Taka to win their first 2 rallies back to back was Panizzi in 2000 (Corsica & Sanremo).

And another stat:
Paddon's co-driver John Kennard, 67 ,is the oldest one to make it to podium in WRC, with his first WRC podium being in 1988 at Rally New Zealand with Audi Coupé Quattro.

there is literal(l)y no reason to build a rally1 lancia yet, as for a few years Rally1 and Rally2 will be ballasted to the same level of performance

It's already shocking Stellantis are putting any money into rallying at all, I can't see them doubling their efforts.
The have borderline zero investments in their Lancia brand road cars, and the amount they're selling is laughable as a result of that.

>>154215721
>It's already shocking Stellantis are putting any money into rallying at all,
why? citroen is here since 2002
The surprising thing is that they are actually investing in rallying with 3 brands, Lancia, Peugeot and Opel
They are still doing that german electric rally cup with the electric corsa and they are producing a Rally4 Opel and Peugeot still

>>154215721
But I agree on the second half of your post

>>154215803
>why? citroen is here since 2002
Yeah, I meant for promoting the Lancia brand specifically.
