This weekend, a World Rally Championship event is being held in Greece, but in parallel, news continues to flow about preparations for next season's WRC.

The FIA has announced that it will allow car manufacturers to develop the so-called WRC kit, a special upgrade package that makes it possible to temporarily boost the performance of Rally2 class cars. The aim is to ensure that Rally2 cars can provide competition to the new WRC27 generation, which debuts in 2027, over two transition seasons.
