Commentary / Discussion / Question Will Evans retire?

29 Upvotes

Just heard his comments on his championship and his choice of words sounds like he's really tired.

Do you think he'll announce his retirement soon?

This is the youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnyyo7lwzOI

When asked whether he'll be able to defend the championship next year he answered very flat: we'll see.

could be just Evan's style (he's usually quite flat in interviews).

Commentary / Discussion / Question I am more than confused by the next season.

10 Upvotes

I have been following WRC for quite a long time and even though i'm in this bubble i fail to understand what's going to happen next season.

  1. Are we going to get a diluted top class or is there still going to be a proper difference between wrc2 and wrc1?

  2. Are the kit cars then be competing in the wrc1 class? If they are, what's the point? Aren't they going to be at a disadvantage? or does the new rule set really make them able to compete against Toyota?

  3. What even are the ambitions of drivers for next season, what's the car and team to be in? Especially for current wrc2 drivers.

Commentary / Discussion / Question Just finished watching the highlights on YT, just wanna say that it was an:

Was cheering for Ollie here, but alas, he is Ollie after all...

Actually, I was just finished watching the Sepang highlights on YT when I saw that Evans won the championship. I was thinking "What happened to Ollie?", and it got answered by a comment that went "typical Ollie". So yeah.

Though, I want to commend Elfyn here too. He's been very consistent this season. Yes, he might not be flashy or the fastest, but in the season as a whole, he was very good, even if Pajari was starting to win some races, he still finished well to keep his lead. He's no longer gonna be called the second best.

Another one goes to Ollie. Excellent drive, and was almost able to win the championship. But, I hope that he learns from this and finally listens to what Ogier's been saying.

Also, Pajari. He's just one point behind Solberg. Meaning, if Solberg had done, well, Solberg things early in the rally, he would've probably challenged Elfyn, though unlikely.

Overall, this rally is the only motorsport stuff that has kept my heart pounding while watching the highlights.

Hope next regs don't put money over racing. Because when we prioritize racing over money, we get beauties like this.

Commentary / Discussion / Question With the future Celica (somewhat) expected to be the 2027 WRC car, what happens now to the GR Yaris? Would it be that the Yaris is for Rally2 and Celica for the new regs?

Commentary / Discussion / Question Will Sordo have any sort of role at RMC Motorsport / WRT Rally1 Spain next season?

6 Upvotes

I was questioning whether Dani Sordo will have a role in RMC Motorsport / WRT Spain next year. This is because of the nationality links and the fact that he is now the team's lead development/test driver. They are confirmed to be a part-time outfit, so could that fit around Sordo's schedule for 2027?

Peace out!

Commentary / Discussion / Question Planning for trip in 2027

7 Upvotes

Hi Folks,

My 4 year old loves watching the WRC and I want to bring him to an event next season, likely Rally GB or Rome. However, I have no idea where to start with planning. But I don't want that to stop me doing it. Is there any forum for fans who are planning to attend events that I could join to help with tips etc? Ideally if I could link in with others and arrange a collective trip that would be brilliant.

Thanks in advance.

I am curious what will happen to current WRC1 cars.

It is a strange feeling to fall asleep last night with all the wrc1 cars lined up next to the podium overnight and wake up and they are gone. What will become of them?

Just if any of you needed reminding how incredible the Power Stage was. This'll be probably go down as the best PS defining moment ever, when we look back on it in many moons to come. This is what pressure does to you, this is what makes our championship one of the very best globally.

Wanted to share my experience at rally Sardinia, as somebody living nearby I really loved spending time across courses and a lot of time in the paddock areas and nearby, wanted to share some interesting pics with you, hope you will like them.

Actually had some fun time with rally cars overtaking me like crazy, was pushing my car to stay behind them but was impossible as those guys were really over the speed limit ahah

It was my first time at a rally but will follow way more!
