Even since 2005, nobody wanted discuss about this on the forum.
Old thread about the F.I.A. has meanwhile disappeared.
With the financial world crisis it is exact the same, there are here still members who do not see that the problem just starts and become larger.
I absolute don`t want missing rally in the future but have no problem if the F.I.A. take a big step back with the rules for wrc cars.
Keep it simple and F1 can preserve the Hitech.
Totally agree!
As much as I respect DR - it's a bit rich of him to totally blame the FIA. He was in charge if ISC when all these silly changes - 9-5 hours, central servicing, etc came in.
He's right that the FIA don't help - completely ignore the sport - then when they do pay attention they appear to have no idea about it. Max Mosley bleating about saving F1 - while the WRC was going down the drain. The warning signs were there about 4-5 years ago - nothing was done.
Give us simple, production based cars - which are loud and spectacular, and require driving.
