There is a large rallying fan account on X that was enthusiastic about the use of AI, to which we both respectfully disagreed however they blocked me. The advertisements are low quality from fraudsters and they block humans but not bots linking to 'amazing traders'. Not long before X is solely bots.

Malcolm Wilson has been officially confirmed as FIA Deputy President for Sport

And possibly Rally3/4/5 too! I'm not sure WRC27 is strictly a class in the long term.

Maybe "WRC27" could be replaced with "Affordable Rally Car" similar to the Affordable Cross Car. The FIA is doing much of the development work with costs being central, and they are opening up 'who' can build.

Does anything have to happen? Assuming a 'WRC27/2' has the same performance head-to-head, the demand can determine the future.

I agree with most of what was said here Dimi, certainly the 2026 foresight.

I don't believe them although I would not be surprised.

"are related to ... but not limited to :
- Supercharging pressure
- Maximum engine revs

- Any other system deemed necessary for control purposes"

New Rally1 regulations published today include, let's say it, a non-disclosure agreement surrounding the data acquisition system. #FIA

Had you been silenced?

One can only assume that *not having to do things like this* is the reason for the sale.

This was a fascinating read, thank you both.

Something you may have missed today, Slow Zone was added to the FIA Regional Rally Regulations.

"A Slow Zone may be established to address an exceptional
situation related to public safety. Competitors must then
maintain their speed below the maximum speed set for the
whole of the Slow Zone."

Did he lose his job or leave his job?

Who's next?

If it were that easy, it would already have been done.

F1 is the FIA's possession. It cannot go that way...

FIA seeks rule changes in wake of president allegations The FIA wants to limit the ways its leadership can be held to account for bad governance after allegations were made against its president.

Which #FIA members will approve this, and for what reasons? It does not look good, that's for sure.

I noticed Teemu of Rallirinki did not post at the other place for some time, and now deleted the account. I hope he is well, and did he have interest in joining here? I wonder how Ouninpohja the book goes, as a lot of effort went into the research already.

A very good point!

Shouldn't a small ASN backing a driver be rewarded with something with economic benefit in the same season?

Maybe you would like to see the full image from my profile header. It is an advertisement from a newspaper advertising to the public the speed tests happening near Munich, a part of the 1906 Herkomer Tour. The cars were also put on public display afterwards.

Two questions for the FIA if they sign up here:

1) When, in 2024, will the e-Library open to the public?
2) When will the World Championship commission members be published?
