The FIA has announced plans to introduce an upgrade kit for Rally2 cars to compete against top-level World Rally Championship machinery for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.
With the WRC adopting new WRC27 technical regulations from next year, the FIA had planned to allow Rally2 cars to compete against the new WRC27 cars under one umbrella to increase the amount of cars competing at the top level. This has been made possible due to the fact the new €345,000 cost-capped WRC27 cars are largely based around Rally2 components, and are expected to offer similar performance.
