Much sense in this one
Ch-ch-ch-changes! - The Rally Report

The future also in rally is Chinese.

The reason for this is that in a few years they will own many of the businesses that are sponsoring rally, also WRC. They will also own most car companies....

Perfect timing, should think you had connections @ Ford :) )

Looking at the number of cars in several championships, I think WRC need to give some airtime and publicity to WRC 2 and WRC 3 in 2013.

They have to give cred to the people willing to work...

Rally is a strange animal in the motorsport family. It is taking place over a large area, and it is hard to follow who is winning and loosing, compared to track racing where you see them at least one...

FIA need to act, and have a long term plan to act from. Today they are firefighters, and are only thinking short term.

Come with signals NOW on what they plan to use class R5 for. It is the...

Animals aside....
This is where the promotor should have come into the picture. But the ones that has been up till now has not been able to renew WRC, and by that sell it to a larger audience than...

Looking at the fact that we have a financial crisis, and that the power the factories have on privateers that buy or lease a WRCar from them. Then you have the fact that a privat team will have to...

Older WRCars are becoming cheaper but; they are hard to set up, maintain and get the best out of.

I really hope the new R5 class will look good, sound good, be challenging to drive, easy to set up...

So why did S2000 become so popular?
Since it did something must have been right with that class.

In my book it is simple: it sound like a competition car, it looks like a competition car and...

Says here rule was changed in 2004, but not sure
Rally Finland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Was it not a way that we could fly recce in 3D through the terrain ? Feel I have seen this somewhere.

There are basically two types of rallyfans:
1: those where the cars and tech development is the most facinating and important
2: those where the drivers ability to master the cars is the most...

I see the point, but that is of course seen from a manufacturer, I am meerly a fan, and want the show to be as good and exiting as possible. Not as it is today, where the result is a given - which...

No.

But do you think a normal fan (not us petrolheads in here) see the difference if a VW MaxiRally car or a Polo WRC would win a rally. Most people would not see the difference - to them it is a...

Works in rallycross !

So make a regime where manu's can apply for a change in homologation if one thing obviously make them slower pver time.


But to me the drivers championship is pri 1, and manu championship pri 2,...

But you could do as they do in for instance Karting, keep or freeze homologation periodes for 3 years.

Here we disagree. I as a petrolhead, spending time writing here. I find inboard film totally uninteressting. But this is all they can afford.


Until Motors or whoever wins the contract for TV...

I hope FIA will take the real power back from the manufacturers soon.

I feel that the 2011 WRCar too soon in its lifespan was as fast as its predesessor. It is, even if it is simpler than the 2.0...

Maybe the real problem with cost will go away if we kill the manufacturer championship?Then simplify the tech regs and leave the building to private tuning firms!



The really interessting thing...

In my opinion the Rally sport need to be simplified.

Tech regs WRC: Keep the, simple so that the end product can be bought and maintained by privateers, without using your own millions or millions...
