RMC Motorsport, a new constructor in the World Rally Championship (WRC), has confirmed that it is making significant progress in the development of its car, which is expected to debut in the upcoming season.
The Spanish team, which is working in collaboration with the Royal Spanish Automobile Federation (RFEDA), announced earlier this year its plans to design and develop a vehicle according to the new technical regulations of the WRC for 2027.
Together with Project Rally One from Belgium, RMC Motorsport is one of the few teams that have committed to these new regulations. The team will compete under the banner of WRT Rally1 Spain and has promised to reveal more details about the project in the coming weeks.
Goals for the 2027 season
The team has decided to compete in a partial season, aiming to start in Croatia in April as the first event. So far, the team has not decided on its driver lineup, but has confirmed that it is in talks with several top drivers as well as with young talents.
Additionally, RMC Motorsport plans to develop its own engine based on an already homologated Group A unit. A statement from the team indicates that the project is proceeding very well, with particular attention to the safety and efficiency of the vehicle.
Significant investment in technology
Recently, the team shared a first detail about the car’s lighting system, which has required more than 700 hours of development. According to RMC Motorsport, this innovation has not only been designed as an aesthetic element, but it also integrates aspects of aerodynamics and structural design.
The creation of a lightweight structure without compromising rigidity has been one of the major challenges. RMC has opted for fiberglass panels, which offer minimal weight tailored to the demands of competition in extreme conditions.
The shape of the headlights has resulted from a thorough study of airflow, aiming to enhance the vehicle’s overall aerodynamics. The new headlights will use continuous LED lighting to provide a modern and aggressive image.
RMC Motorsport is preparing to present the exterior design images of the new vehicle in the coming weeks, a moment that promises to be one of the most anticipated since the announcement of the project.
