The new Technical Regulations for 2010
Just read in Autosport magazine that at the recent WR council it was not possible to reach agreement on the "detail" of the new cars that are to form S2000+. If agreement can not be reached by November meeting FIA will impose the S2000 (not plus) technical regulations.
Am I the only one here who is becoming suspicious ?
1. Ther is no global promoter (still)
2. Uncertainty on detail of technical regulations.
3. Unease at 2010 calendar - will Russia be included after its recent political stances?
Bloody hell its September 1st tomorrow, the 2009 season will be with us soon, and if FIA insist the new tech regs. are 15 months away, and no manufacturer knows what exactly they can build!

Hopefully they will just impose S2000, I'll be happy with that
If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

I'll be happy with anything that equals a little bit of a certainty towards a clear goal. It is sad to be happy with so little, but the way things look to be going that'd do for me.
There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!

You can't blame Manufacturers from not joining when there is no clear leadership, no regs, calendar, etc
Lets have S2000/S2000+ but make it cheap and spectacular, WRCars are fantastic technology but not spectacular, and sound like strangled farts. As for the calendar; 12 rounds, Jan - Dec, 4 'classics' the other 8 rotate, 6 week gap in summer.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
