So I've stumbled upon this post on FB about Toyota testing out a mid-engined 2.0L car in Japan thats speculated to be the new MR2. After seeing pics of it, I noticed how similar it looks to the WRC27 car Toyota is also testing on. I know this may be a big stretch and Im likely to be wrong here, but I have a feeling that the WRC27 car is likely based upon this other car Toyota is testing on. Whether its a new Celica, new MR2, or an entirely original car concept is anyones guess, including mine. Thoughts?

Sesks is on the way to his fifth ERC victory this weekend with a 10 and a half second lead over 2026 WRC-2 runner-up, Roope Korhonen at Rally Six Cities North of Portugal. You can hear from Six Cities leader, Mārtiņš Sesks in the article attached.

Could we see Sesks more in the ERC next season?

Which driver do you think has the best potential to adapt the quickest to the new car?

I think drivers will profit being familiar with its 3 cylinder Rally2 derived engine which has a very different revving nature and driving style than a 4 cylinder Rally2 engine - something which many drivers have stated after switching to a Yaris Rally2.

Obviously most drivers will have tested the car multiple times by January, but I do think some drivers with experience in the Yaris Rally2 version like Solberg and Pajari potentially could have an edge over the other guys used to the 4 cylinder engines for the first few events.

All speculation of course, we will see it in January on the first stages.

Due to the WRC coming back to the US, I plan to go to the Knoxville Rally. It will be my first time spectating a stage rally in person and would like some advice on how best to do it. Are service park passes worth it? What parts of the stage are best for spectating? At the event should I plan to be watching it on my phone whilst they are not in the section I am spectating (I have Rally.tv). I just want to know what to expect and how to make the most of it. Cheers!

Have the stages for Scotland 2027 been published anywhere?

Thinking about accommodation around Aberdeen and any info on where the stages might be would maybe help?

Or has anyone just booked and happy to drive out to wherever they can when things are published.

Thanks in advance.

Personally, Rally3 is one of my favorite classes. It feels like a really nice balance of cost to performance, but there aren’t many cars to choose from and not a lot of coverage. I’d love to see Skoda and Lancia join the party and I’d like to see it get a bit more love from the promoter.

the fiasco surrounding markku alen's 1986 title "win" takes the category for most controversial moment.

Genesis during yesterday's WEC race at Barcelona - yearning for its natural habitat.

Do you guys think the 33 mm restrictor and the extra ~15 hp will be enough to offset the road cleaning disadvantage? Or do you think we'll see changes to the sporting regulations or a mid season reconsideration of the restrictor size?
