If you guys have seen that one post within this subreddit about how the new promoter basically wants the WRC to be more like F1, it also mentions on a new European manufacturer (thats not Lancia) planning to join next year for the new regulations and will be announced in June. Ive also learned that the announcement will happen after Rally Japan and before Rally Rally Greece, basically confirming that it will happen next month (although Im unsure on the credibility of that one).

With all this in mind, what manufacturer do you guys think will be announced in joining the WRC? Im also curious to see if they will be full time or part time and whether they will start at the beginning of the season.

My usual way of approaching a corner is to simply just apply the brakes and shift the gears appropriate to how tight the corner is. I may even uss the handbrake if the corner is tight enough. Pretty simple and standard stuff. Yet, I feel like Im missing something when it comes to approaching corners in the game, both in gravel and asphalt. Is there any more I need to know or is that all there is to it? Because I hope to sharpen my cornering skills better if you guys have anything more to say.

Armstrong and McErlean are obviously not the best drivers in the current Rally1category, despite them showing some form of promise. However, I have this thought for a bit of a while now that even if their skills are not suited for the current Rally1 cars, their performance could be even better under the new cars next year.

The reason I believe this is that since the new regulations are basically turning Rally1 cars into that of something like Rally2+, and with M-Sport not building a WRC27 car yet and upgrading their Rally2 Fiestas, we could likely see an improvement in their performance considering their past experience with Rally2 machinery and with the remaining experience theyll gain for the rest of the season before the new regulations take place.

Of course, there are major factors to consider such as the other drivers having better skills and experience as the top class. Even then, we could still see a boost in their performance next year with machinery that they are alreadu familiar with. But these are just my opinions on what could likely happen, and I do hope for them to stick around for M-Sport longer. What do you guys think?

With how their performance will be downgraded to Rally2 levels and teams needing to produce 10 units of those cars for customers, I wonder about them being used outside of the WRC in other events such as the ERC, ARA, and other national and regional events.

Im pretty sure we are well aware by now on the disadvantages sedan/saloon cars have compared to hatchbacks when it comes to rallying. However, with the wrc27 regulations allowing more bodywork freedom and no longer having the cars base it off of a production car model, I believe that we could maybe see teams running the bodystyle again whilst adressing the issues surrounding it (Weight distribution, Manueverability, Wheelbase length, etc.). But those are just my thoughts on what could possibly happen. What do you guys think?

Curious to see what you guys think about having rotary engines being used. While I know that a 1.6L Turbocharged engine is being used nowadays due to its cost, reliability, and weight management, and that rotary engines need high maintenance and care despite being reliable in high RPMs, it would be nice to see some engine diversity again in the WRC. Especially due to the flexibility of powertrains in the WRC27 regulations.

Ive seen people saying that the WRC regulations for next year havent been finalized yet, and I believed this to be true for a while. However, a quick Google search says that they apparantly have been finalized already ever since December of last year. So I want to find some clarification on whether or not the regulations for next year have been finalized.

Hi everyone! This is an EA WRC question on whether its best to have tunings for a specific rally location/stage or not and if it does make a difference in the times and your performance.

(This also applies as well to Dirt Rally 2.0)
