New fuel, changes to aerodynamics, the introduction of hybrids and more! The new season of WRC in 2022 has a lot to share with its fans.
It seems that the World Rally Championship (WRC) 2022 has said goodbye to the old and dusty rule book. You will be shocked and excited to know some drastic changes in WRC 2022. It looks like WRC 2022 is ready to redefine and dominate this new era of motorsports. There are changes in aero, fuel, and more, but we won’t spill all the beans here! So, let’s crack down on everything you need to know about WRC in 2022!
Beefier chassis!
At WRC 2022, you’ll be looking at a beefier chassis! The Big Three (Hyundai, Toyota and M-Sport) will have a steel space-frame chassis for WRC 2022.
Tests show that this brand new chassis is a more robust arrangement. Also, for the first time ever, the WRC has specified a required minimum wheelbase. Teams can build their car’s structure using custom panels.

hybrid power
The 2022 season scored 50. started theth Version of WRC. With WRC celebrating its fifty, it is time to shake things up. One of the biggest news in the WRC world is the introduction of hybrid power.
The WRC has paired a 100 kW motor with a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine. Drivers can control that extra oomph through the throttle. What’s more, the cars comfortably go up to 62 mph in just three seconds! The combined engines can make 369lb-ft of torque and pump out 500 bhp. Sweet!
Simplified and straightforward mechanics
One of the ideas behind introducing a new rule book is to make cars slightly slower (and safer!) In the 2022 WRC, no vehicle will be able to enjoy any fancy active central differentials.
This means that WRC teams will have to work with the rear and front limited-slip differential setup. What’s more, the rule makers have simplified the suspension as well. Beyond that, the six-speed transmission is out of play, only making room for a five-speed.
low aerodynamics
To make it slow and a little easier on the pocket, the WRC 2022 has also said no aerodynamic surfaces. They have cut out hidden air ducts and rear diffuser.
Due to these changes in aerodynamics, downforce should be reduced in WRC 2022. The FIA has realized that teams spend exorbitant amounts of time on carbon fiber air vanes to achieve a modest downforce effect.
brand new fuel
Now, let’s talk about the new fuel which is one of the most talked about news of WRC 2022. WRC has introduced 100% Lasting Power for this season. This sustainable fuel is a combination of synthetic ingredients and biofuels.
F1 is also committed to introducing similar changes in fuel by 2025. It is an effort towards reducing the carbon emissions produced by motorsports.
