In a crucial step toward the new regulations set to redefine the World Rally Championship in 2027, the Project Rally One development program has successfully completed a rigorous two-day testing session in the Vosges mountains of France. Motorsport legends Sebastien Loeb and top driver Teemu Suninen shared driving duties to evaluate the new Rally1 prototype machine.
According to an official statement released by Project Rally One regarding the recent test of the car developed for the upcoming rules, Thursday's running presented severe weather challenges. Teemu Suninen initially took over the role of test driver while the team struggled with persistent rain throughout the day, providing an ideal scenario to evaluate wet-weather setups and low-grip telemetry.
The conditions improved significantly by Friday, allowing Sebastien Loeb to jump behind the wheel under much milder and predominantly dry asphalt conditions. The team noted that the feedback gathered from both drivers was overwhelmingly positive and served as a vital component for the ongoing development of the vehicle's handling and aerodynamic balance.
Project Rally One highlighted that the input delivered by the duo has been of decisive importance for the progression of the car. The technical crew led by Lionel Hansen is currently putting together the final homologation dossier, which is scheduled to be submitted to the FIA Technical Department by the end of October to secure official competition approval.
Before this latest test, the car had already been evaluated by Stephane Lefebvre, Bruno Thiry, and Freddy Loix. Looking ahead, Project Rally One intends to concentrate primarily on tarmac events during its upcoming competitive phase, while maintaining an intensive development path for loose surfaces where Suninen remains the primary test driver.
