Why all eyes have to be on WRC 2027 now

With the WRC rules fixed until the end of 2026, the FIA needs to direct its work to ’27

It’s a SPIN of two halves this week, with David Evans catching up with Colin Clark, post-Finke in Australia and Brenten Kelly in America following the latest ARA action at Southern Ohio Forest Rally.

Or that was the plan. Then World Motor Sport Council made its announcements in Uzbekistan and, predictably, there was lots to talk about. Even though there were no major changes to the technical regulations (and when we say major, we actually mean any), the debate raged for quite some time.

Overwhelmingly, the talk is of what comes next. If you’re a technically minded person within the FIA or the teams, the 2027 homologation cycle is almost upon us and rules have to be written fairly sharpish. Colin Clark reckons these could be the most important rules the governing body has ever written.
