I do wonder just how much influence Red Bull actually has within WRC Promoter......

Yes, you're right - it was 2022 that was poor - last year was the first round of the championship - and the return of 'The Bullet'.

It wouldn't be the biggest surprise if that went as well; I think it was last year when it got pitiful entries (might have been 2022) - not a good look. The MXGP promoters are as bad as the WRC's.....

No, me neither. And once upon a time I never missed a race......

It's utter garbage, a lack of action - with most of the stories off track. I no longer see the attraction of it. The amount of...

A good prep run for the FIM Hard Enduro round later this year. And we'll also get an EnduroGP round in Rhayader........

Yeah, but more coverage would cost money; and the ASO don't like spending when they don't have to....... #cheapskates #tightarses

It's always heavily biased in favour of F1; and series with a small number of top drivers tend to do poorly......

F1 is NOT the series to take ideas from - we've already done that - and it didn't work. MotoGP seems to copy F1, and not for the better......

I've often joked that if they ran the WEC, they'd want Le Mans run entirely over one weekend; practice, qualifying, and a 6 Hour race, like most of the other races........Unique events do work, we...

Good that he's speaking out, but I'm slightly wary of what he's saying.......I think he's wanting something like end of leg points for Friday & Saturday....He's right about the Sunday though.

It was extremely busy, and lively about 20 years ago. Lots of healthy discussion. It helped that the WRC was in a really good place (though that wouldn't last). Other forums like Pistonheads,...

Yeah, Hard Enduro is a great series, and only the third year of having an official FIM World Championship. The more established EnduroGP doesn't have as good coverage......and that is actually more...

To be honest, I've said before, I wonder how much influence Red Bull actually have with WRC Promoter. Other series they cover are far better....WRC seems like a continuation of...

I'm not sure it's much better than the Dirtfish one.....seems a bit of flawed data.

It's very likely; it was a huge move when announced in the summer of 1998; a similar time to when the first CMR game came out. Ford were completely committed, and by the time the 1999 season started...

Unless somebody can find any spare cash, a forest based Rally of GB won't be coming back.......

What about the WRC? Well it's pretty simple.....it doesn't give enough manufacturers the ROI they want; other series do.

In the UK at nearly all events, spectators 'pay to park' - and money quite often goes to local charities, etc Organising clubs get virtually nothing. From memory, only RallyGB (and IRC Rally...

Winning the Monte - and making headlines, and an appearance on Sunday Night at the Palladium - it doesn't get better or bigger than that. A fabulous all round driver who was pretty handy on the...

I've consistently said since Super Rally was introduced that you shouldn't finish ahead of somebody who has done the full event; I compared it to showjumping where any rider with faults finishes...

LMP2 driver lap times.

I'm afraid Dirtfish are proving they know very little about racing; he was just about average to be honest. We know he has far less experience, but needs to improve a lot more. Fortunately, he has...

Yes, there are reasons, however the latter hasn't seemed to affect either MotoGP, F1 or other major series.

Those running WRC need to realise 'dead time' is a killer for interest in a series.

Yes, quite agree. Whatever the reasons, it's something they need to address in the future. I much prefer the old style season with a summer break after the Acropolis in early June - and a return in...

I was in the car running some errands, and I got a surprise when I heard the name Michele Mouton was bring interviewed. It's quite apt that this week in November there is rallying on BBC radio....
