WRC 2022 Guide – Carrier current?
Toyota Yaris Rally1 Hybrid
This time, we are there. Impossible to go back. By finally beginning a shift towards so-called “cleaner” energies, the WRC hopes to become politically correct again. The transition to hybrid, however, was much more complicated than the announcements suggested. It was in Portugal, in May 2019, that Yves Matton, then director of rallying at the FIA, indicated that the world championship would switch to hybrid in 2022. “ The goal is to have the regulations defined by the end of 2019, the Belgian explained in Porto. This will give the teams time to work to be ready in 2022. Normally it takes 18 months to develop a car, but since the technology is new they will have 6 more."
The hybrid unit sits in the rear, the combustion engine in the front.
A few days before the very first race with these regulations, these words may make you smile. Just surrender
