Rarely has a return to the top of the millennium seen so appealing. Or so achievable. There was much debate and much expectation that Thursday’s virtual meeting of the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council could bring news of hybrid being dropped from next year’s World Rally Championship. That story, we’re told, is still being written. Watch this space.
But instead of some potentially divisive news about tomorrow, the governing body delivered some excellent news for lovers of yesterday.
In its own words: “Changes to Appendix K of the International Sporting Code mean that, from 2025, racing [and rally] cars built between the years 1991 and 2000 will be able to carry the Historic Technical Passports that allow them to compete in FIA championships and international motor sport events.”
