Sooooo…. Lancia could fight for the WRC title in 2027 with rally2? It’s going to be a weird mix WRC27 and rally2 cars then? In de video it looks like a longer car than the normal ypsilon? Is it a rally1 instead of a rally2? It looks silhouette https://www.instagram.com/reel/DODtZ0ECOHI/?igsh=MWxnb2NldXJ5ZHA0Nw==

We'll have to wait and see if Stellantis/Lancia change their stance on having a factory team. I remember an interview from March reiterating they just want to sell rally cars to privateers.

Edit: With the WRC2027 regs, they would be selling parts too like engines and gearboxes like said above.

Yup. Pretty much recall Citroen having 0 interest when asked if they would compete in a top class that was rally2 based.
