Success or failure? Todt’s rallying legacy at the FIA – DirtFish – DirtFish
But, as Todt close the door for the final time, it’s Rally1 that everybody’s talking about. We have hybrid and we have 100% sustainable fuel. And, let’s not forget, we have what look to be the safest rally cars in the sport’s history.

As you can imagine as a former competitor, the safety of the crew is close to Todt’s heart. The other stuff, the stuff aimed at helping to contain climate change and cut carbon dioxide emissions? It’s all a little bit late. Hybrid’s been a thing since Todt was wearing red and celebrating regularly and often with a man called Michael.
For me, the sustainability side of off-road motorsport is something which can’t please Todt on his departure. In 2018, World Rallycross had the absolute golden ticket of going all-electric. Somehow an open goal was missed. It’s taken four more years to get that and the WRC moving under anything but internal combustion.
Let’s end on a positive. Todt took the WRC back to Africa this year and that’s an enormous tick.
Au revoir, Mr Prez. Thanks for the chats.
