Here is the thing about ambitious motorsport projects: most of them stay on paper. But as Motorsport.com España reports, the Spanish WRC 2027 challenger being built by RMC Motorsport and the Real Federación Española de Automobilismo is actually taking physical shape, and the progress is genuinely fast.
Operating under the banner of WRT Rally1 Spain, the squad stands as one of only two preparers alongside Project Rally One to commit to the technical regulations for 2027. The machine will break cover with a full reveal and a proper name in the coming weeks. Before that major milestone, the team provided a first glimpse by showing off the car's headlight system.
That single assembly took a staggering 700 hours of engineering work, spanning aerodynamic studies, optical integration, and FIA homologation preparation. Crafted from fiberglass housings to balance lightness and rigidity, the headlights merge airflow management with a continuous LED light signature designed to give the beast an aggressive visual identity.
Underneath the skin, the team is building its own engine derived from an already homologated Group A unit. The technical challenge is immense, requiring meticulous optimization across structural architecture, weight distribution, safety, and reliability for international top-flight competition.
Plans remain firmly in place for a partial season next year. The outfit aims for a competitive debut at the Rally de Croatia in April. While the driver lineup remains unconfirmed, talks are actively underway with both world-class professionals and young talents to pilot the machine when it finally hits the stages.
