What attention will they get in '17 cars ? If this forum is anything to go by, just ridicule...

i do not think that they care what a forum thinks.
99% of rally fans and motorsport are worthless plebs who just want to see fast cars and they do not go deep into anything, you can see it here in the forum as well 99% are ok with everything and i am the lone white knight trying to open your eyes to the truth. But a pleb will always be a pleb.
So the one remaining percent are cocks? Is this what you are in?

Finnish ASN AKK-Motorsport has granted a special permission for @KalleRovanpera to compete in Finland!
Just to clarify: I think its fine for privateers to drive '17 cars - they can do what they want with their money and more new WRC's are good to watch for the fans.
If they enjoy driving them thats fine, but they cant expect big praise or coverage when they finish behind all the factory drivers every rally.
That's what the WRC Trophy was intended for and would've given them something to really compete for between themselves.
The Trophy was created because they didn't know what else to do with the old 2016 cars. It will be over after a year or two without any interest just like the R-GT challenge before.
Yeah exactly, it was a compromise. It could have been good for 2017 if there had not been enough new cars available but I don't see it being a thing in 2018, maybe not even this year. As a concept i think it wasn't bad, to have something for privateers in the transitional year, but if the privateers already have 2017 cars it's kind of useless...
