The hybrid technology will be included in the World Rally Championship, in 2013, according to senior Ford of Europe motorsport manager Gerard Quinn. Quinn said that hybrid technology for the World Rally Car was the Ford to produce easily accessible and should be used.
"Overview of hybrid technology is something we must look to the future," said Quinn. "I think we should look for 2013. I'm no engineer, but I think there is a certain level that the Ford shelves. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel. Of course there is a balance, how to the weight of work and do such things, but we should race the cars between stages, and operated without the engine. "
Citroën produced and run - but do not compete with - a hybrid C4 WRC. Morrie Chandler, president of the WRC Commission, said the sport was already talking about the possibility of using hybrid technology. "We have not a day on this issue," said Chandler. "We are going to talk about possibilities. We think outside the box. Hybrid speaks, and if it is enough to work with and have a race - a hybrid car does not prove anything. But if you have three or four, they can race in and compared to the normal car. We need that, but it is one thing, do it right. "
