🏁 WRC Crisis in 2026, Hope in 2027? Despite a complicated present, the WRC's future looks more promising. The Current Crisis (WRC1): The championship has suffered heavy blows with the exit of Ott Tänak (frustrated with Hyundai) and Kalle Rovanperä's departure to other disciplines. Toyota's dominance is total (12-1 against Hyundai), with M-Sport Ford seen as "completely outdated." 2026 risks becoming a "Toyota Cup." The Hope (WRC27): The real news is happening behind the scenes. The new WRC27 regulations (the "Hypercar" of rallying) are generating a lot of interest. The Rumors (9 projects!): The article suggests there might be 9 projects in development for 2027/2028: Hyundai: Expected to continue, perhaps with an evolved Rally2 in 2027 before WRC27. Toyota: Seen as the only "certain" manufacturer ready for 2027. Lancia: Starting in Rally2 in 2026, with plans for WRC27 in 2028. Skoda: Developing its WRC27. Subaru: The rumor of another Japanese giant's return is gaining strength! Others: Projects from Prodrive, M-Sport Poland, and other "tuners" are on the table. Even if only 5 of these 9 projects materialize, the WRC's future looks much more competitive. The discipline, according to the news, "is far from dead."
