🗣 'I don’t think our house is on fire” 🔥 FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem says the WRC is healthy operating with three manufacturers, but admits one or two new marques are needed to sustain its future 👇
Following Citroen’s departure at the end of 2019, rallying’s top tier has been contested by three manufacturers in Toyota, Hyundai and Ford, although the latter is a semi works relationship with British squad M-Sport.
A tweaked set of Rally1 regulations is expected to be revealed in two month's time for 2025 onwards which is hoped to cement the WRC’s future in a bid to attract new brands, following a series of FIA led discussions with manufacturers conducted last year. "I do feel that we need more manufacturers to sustain [the WRC] and we should keep on trying to bring more, but even with three manufacturers it is healthy as long as we sustain it and make sure that the new regulations are done correctly.
"So definitely the rules, we need to sustain them, make them sustainable, and this is why there are some changes that will happen. But we have to use what we have and then come up with more flexibility when it comes to the regulations."Photo by: Red Bull Content Pool
