Whilst there is a gap of over a minute, it is good to see Camilli and the new i20N Step2 having a decent pace. Whilst upgrades are more tarmac-oriented, reportedly engine map upgrades were amongst the things needed overall. Looking forward to seeing the i20 surprising in the tarmac events. #WRC

Been in Lapland testing new cars in winter conditions for about 2 weeks now. Then it’s back to the South, weekend off, and back for #arcticlaplandrally on Wednesday. What a line-up there will be - FRC2 or #Rally3 is especially interesting! Will be posting updates as we go along. #rally #racing

@dirtfish-com.bsky.social posted the unofficial 2027 WRC rules. Let’s break it down then: 1. 345,000€ cost cap. VERY hard to enforce, as Rally2s are 300k or more. Also, would make WRC2 kind of pointless. But it would bring many privateers into Rally1, and Rally2 has a solid footing in local comp.

Genesis entering WEC and IMSA is another W for both organisations regarding Hypercar and hopefully the program has longevity like they say. It also further casts a shadow to Hyundai’s WRC program. 2026 exit seems even more likely as Abiteboul returns to circuits. www.reuters.com/sports/formu...

Hyundai's Genesis to enter world endurance hypercar in 2026

Hyundai's luxury Genesis brand will compete in the World Endurance Championship (WEC), which has the 24 Hours of Le Mans as its jewel in the crown, from 2026 with a hypercar entry.

310th & final Audi R8 LMS GT3 rolled out of Ingolstadt today. Sad to see one of the most successful manufacturers pull out of GT3. Why did Audi feel the need to pull the plug on a profitable program? Is their F1 program really struggling so much? If so, it’s a really worrying sign. 📸OnlyEndurance

Kyllä odottaa pikkujouluristeilijöitä kylmä näky Länsisatamassa. Yhdessäkään taksissa ei hinnastoa näkyvillä ja kulman takana odottaa kymmenkunta lisää. Luulisi, että ilman Lähitaksin/Taksi Helsingin lätkiä ei olisi mitään asiaa kyytiin. Missä taksitarkastaja tai Poliisi? Nyt olis ratsattavaa #taksi

Big if true! Whilst F1 does not need 11th team, there’s no reason to restrict it for only the 10 current ones. Especially if a huge OEM is interested! Let’s hope Caddy gets in. They’d have quite a few home races - even more reason to let them race. racingnews365.com/exclusive-f1...

Exclusive: F1 set to welcome new team

In early 2024, it was clear F1 had a negative opinion on Andretti's entry. The American dream seemed to be over, but that seems to be changing now.

The big news of the day - Mercedes-AMG is returning to Le Mans with Iron Lynx! This however spells a likely end for the underperforming SC63 programme in IMSA as it has in WEC. Will AMG look for an LMDh entry? www.dailysportscar.com/2024/11/20/m...
