Good news in the hunt for another marque to join the WRC in the future! ⬇️
The WRC has previously indicated that four manufacturer teams at the top level would be its ideal prospect for the championship moving forward.
The FIA and WRC have engaged with automotive manufacturers from all over the world in recent months as the next set of regulations for 2025 is finalised, along with the pathway from 2027 onwards., Skoda, Alpine and the Stellantis Group, which owns Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroen, Dodge, DS, Fiat, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Opel, Peugeot and Vauxhall brands, have declared their interest in joining the WRC, if regulations are changed in the future.
"We now have three [manufacturer] options to continue to talk with. We will not talk about it until we have a feasibility, as it is a very fragile system. But having four manufacturers would be perfect. "We need to know [the regulations] very fast but the FIA cannot invent something without consulting the manufacturers properly and this is an ongoing process," added Thul.
"We believe sustainable fuel and even e-fuel is a good option for the future and very important for existing cars and also for markets that cannot do pure electrification." "I don't think pushing it [the announcement] forward or backwards by a couple of weeks will make a difference when we come to 2028. I think we have to have a clear view as to how go forward. We are not there yet but I think we are pretty close.
