[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

What sucked? The takeout coffee? The weather? The dead squashed kangaroo on the road? the hippies with yellow flags? The koala poo you stood in?

Gotta write a bit more clearly than that mate.

Stage cancellations (which I assume your talking about) are different to solid objects being propelled at a moving car.

can you tell why the manufacturers wanted it removed, if they all wanted to win it?

It was the one rally that cost near as much as all the rest put together. And only Toyota had the budget.

Yep, quite true. At the time the Japanese viewed the Safari and LeMans as the ultimate Motorsport challenges. Now sadly, they've had their heads turned by the 'glamour' of F1.

Quite unsuccessfully, I must add.
Well, at least Toyota. They could be a title contender in the WRC with a fraction of their F1 budget...

[Barreis]

It's much more benefitial from F1 even with bigger budget and same results.. They won't throw money into nothing.. It's all marketing..

Can't you read ? And it's your mother tongue, figures ...
I've said EVERYTHING was wrong. Do you want me to make the complete list ?
I say only a couple of examples ... the idiots (your countrymates !) who blocked the WRC cars in the road section and in the stages (using lot of ways, including throwing stones as well) ? The impossibility to walk into the stages to spectate live ? The boring quick SS which allowed the slower guys to be very near to the top ones ? Should I go on ... ?
