Hello,

I've just been watching some old World Rally Championship DVD's from 1985, and could not help but notice the diversity of manufacturers taking part back then..... Nissan, Mazda, Audi, Opel, Lancia, Renault, Porsche, VW, MG ..... etc

My question is why is there a paltry and embarrising 2 manufacters left in 2009 compared to back then?

And what are the people in charge of running the WRC doing as a matter of urgency to attract new manufacturers (not teams) to compete again.
