This will bring the performance of both categories closer together (Rally 1 slowed and Rally 2+ wil be faster than Rally 2).
For 2026
Rally 1 cars to use a common safety shell.
Bodywork from B-Class, C-Class, Compact SUV or 'Concept Car'.
Performance across cars subject to BoP (via centre of gravity and aero).
Power capped at 330bhp.
Cars cost capped at 400K Euros.
Engine and transmission from Rally 2 cars.
Beyond 2026
Investigation into electric cars using the common Rally 1 safety cell.
Other
There will be changes to the format of events - organisers will have more flexibilty around timetables. Mandated Sunday afternoon Powerstage remains. Events will be a mix of sprint and endurance - total mileage across a season remains unchanged.
Limits on the number of team personnel, local providers to be used for structures in the service areas (so no more manufacturer palaces)

Excellent summary of the current proposals.
