@boxboxcarclub: While F1 prices everyone out and becomes a billionaire's playground, rally is about to do the complete opposite. And it might be the boldest move in motorsport. Or the beginning of the end 🏁 Here's what's happening. The WRC is in trouble, down to just three manufacturers, with cars that have become insanely expensive. So from 2027, they're tearing up the rulebook. The new top car will be capped at around €345,000, more than 50% cheaper than today. And for the first time ever, they're opening the door to tuners. Independent garages. The kind of small, obsessive builders who live and breathe cars. The rules are so open almost any shape can compete. Hatchbacks against SUVs, saloons against bespoke one-offs. But here's the catch that made me laugh. Under those wild bodies, the tuners have to buy a full drivetrain from one existing manufacturer, same spec engine for everyone. So you could get a grid of cars that look totally different but underneath are basically identical. And the worrying part? We're a year out, and so far only ONE major manufacturer, Toyota, has committed. The others are hesitating. Personally, I love that someone is finally lowering the barrier instead of raising it. F1 slams the door shut. Rally throws it wide open. So is this genius, rally welcoming the little guy while series like F1 shut them out? Or a gamble that leaves the pinnacle with barely any recognizable brands on the grid? 👇 Follow for more F1, rally and automotive. #WRC #Rally #Motorsport #fyp #WRC2027

Opening up the competition to independent garages is a massive step in the right direction.

WRC is failing bc the hot hatch market is dead, the only reason for manufacturers to compete in WRC is to sell cars

Only Toyota is making a car, they are slower than rally 2 and the whole point of rally that YOU CAN BUY THE CARS as they sell them has gone to waist. Ts horrible

It could lead to same stuff as ARA where is a Subaru with Ferrari engine etc. Or it could be intriguing for manufacturers to hop in, once they see how does it start.
