I can't believe people would still consider this oath of a human being as a team member. I guess it shows money talks.

Not trying to argue, but the sport is nothing without competitors. Loeb, Gronholm, Solberg have been around enough to know what’s what (yeah, I get that their interests will always come first), but...

Sorry, didn’t see the other post. Thanks for pointing that out!

Sounds like you disagree with them?
Thing is, their weight might just be heavy enough to scrap the whole thing. Hard to argue with...

Doesn't read well..

When you ask ‘is it really though’.... are you on about rallying being better or rallycross being worse? Either way, yes to both.

You made the point that motorsport catagories have developed.....

So what if it has developed?

Rallying is better to watch than it has been for ages.
Rallycross isn't a patch on what it used to be as a spectacle.

Development doesn't mean it's better, or are...

Eddie, if you’ve seen the 80s and 90s rallycross, be it on TV or in the flesh, you’ll know most of the cars were very different in terms of driving characteristics and power / power delivery.
I...

JK wins.
Even so, the sport is crap. Not a patch on what it used to be when the cars had different characteristics. Terrible to watch compared to the 80s / 90s.

[QUOTE=tbtstt;1195622]I could be completely off - as I don't know if PSA have a central pool for motorsport funding or if each individual manufacturer has a separate budget - but could this be...

Sorry - yeah... I was a year out. Reading between the lines, i'm not sure there is enough certainty that the change will happen and when, so I guess that's enough for PMC to say goodbye.

They want to be seen as electric pioneers and the series planned on being all electric for 2019, but then did a U-turn.
Probably doesn't help that the Polo is way ahead and that the series has hit...

Peugeot have pulled the plug.

Ha ha.... get a grip man.

Do you think they won’t have more power than that?

Do you think a rallycross race will involve only one car?

The future is more power, manufacturer-led technology...

I must admit, from an atmosphere point-of-view, I went to a circuit in Belgium years ago (an old go-kart track - tiny place) and it was superb! The Euro's certainly know how to enjoy a good...

Then you'll know, Eddie, that the only time you really get a sense of the noise, is when they leave the start. I get what you are saying about the younger generation not being into cars though......

Not so sure pal, Lydden is excellent, Brands (unfortunately, used to be) incredible.

they wont love it like they have the petrol series.



How do you know this already?

Or are you just basing your assumptions on your personal feelings?

Which rallycross tracks have you...

Formula E is nothing.[/QUOTE]



Mobile generators?

Hmm...
If formula E is nothing, why has is got more manufacturer teams and financial backing than RX?

Not sure how much you know about motorsport outside of rallying, but Formula E is big...

Eddie, have you been to many Rallycross events?
Ever watched at Lydden it Brands?... if so, you’ll recognise that you can’t hear the cars for most of the lap anyway.

And what about Formunl E?......

Formula E gets spectators. Not sure if you have been to a rallycross before, but even on a circuit that is incredible from a spectators point of view (Brands Hatch or Lydden) you can hardly hear the...
