The FIA World Rally-Raid Championship’s Committee announced a change in the Balance of Performance on Wednesday to give cars in the T1.U class for prototype cars using renewable energies – which includes Audi’s RS Q e-tron E2 – an extra 8kW, which is believed to be worth 11bhp.
Al-Attiyah was outraged by the measure, however, and appeared to accuse the organisation of favouritism on social media, accusing organisers of “killing the race early”.
