Description

We are in the French Alps, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, where the 2026 WRC Rallye Monte-Carlo will be held at the end of January. We're here to film the tests, which usually take place two weeks before the opening race of the World Rally Championship. In this video, we see the M-Sport's Ford Puma Rally1 driven by Armstrong/Shane Byrne, which, as in the 2025 season, lacks the hybrid system per the regulations. This is evident from the absence of the active safety lights on the windshield and sides of the car, which were present in 2024 and were intended to indicate its operation. Furthermore, the rear bumper's large horizontal air intake, which is needed to cool the hybrid system and battery pack, has been closed. Therefore, even in the 2026 season, the cars will continue to be powered solely by the 1.6-litre turbocharged internal combustion engine, running on eco-friendly fuels and capable of developing approximately 380 hp. The absence of a hybrid system makes Rally1 cars lighter; the minimum weight has decreased from 1260 kg (2024) to approximately 1180 kg today. Per regulations, the flange on the engine intake is reduced from 36 to 35 millimetres to maintain the weight-to-power ratio between the 2024 and 2025/2026 seasons. I must thank my friend and YouTuber @19Bozzy92 , with whom I collaborated on the video footage. Enjoy! 😉 Eccoci sulle Alpi Francesi nella regione della Provenza-Alpi-Costa Azzurra che a fine Gennaio ospiterà l'edizione 2026 WRC Rallye Monte-Carlo. Ci troviamo qui per filmare i test che solitamente si svolgono con due settimane di anticipo rispetto alla gara che aprirà il campionato mondiale di rally. In questo video vediamo la Ford Puma Rally1 di M-Sport, guidata dall'equipaggio Armstrong/Shane Byrne, che, come già avvenuto nella stagione 2025, è priva del sistema ibrido, come da regolamento. Visivamente lo si nota dall'assenza delle luci di sicurezza attive presenti sul parabrezza e ai lati della vettura, presenti nel 2024, con lo scopo di verificare il loro funzionamento. Oltre a questo, sul paraurti posteriore la grande presa d'aria orizzontale necessaria per il raffreddamento del sistema ibrido e del pacco batteria è stata chiusa. Dunque, anche nella stagione 2026 le auto continuano ad essere alimentate dal solo motore termico da 1,6 litri turbo con l'impiego di carburanti ecologici e capaci di sviluppare circa 380 hp. La mancanza del sistema ibrido rende le Rally1 più leggere; il peso minimo diminuisce dai 1260 kg (2024) ai circa 1180 kg attuali. La flangia sull'aspirazione del motore, come da regolamento, viene ridotta da 36 a 35 millimetri in modo da mantenere invariato il rapporto peso-potenza tra le stagioni 2024 e 2025/2026. Ringrazio l'amico e YouTuber @19Bozzy92 con cui ho collaborato alla realizzazione delle riprese video.
