Eugenio : Just 32 cars (overall) states WRC.Com is that true ? What has been the average previous years ? Sound a bit short compared i.e Argentina 60+

[Eugenio Perea]

35 entries. We're not very happy, but it could have been worse. The financial crisis has hit the car industry particularly hard.

In 2006 and 2008 we had 42 entries, which does sound better, but the level of competing machinery and crews is much higher this year. SWRC, despite its awkward birth, seems to have taken off very well. We'll probably see some very good battles next week.

To reach Argentina's numbers we need to be in the WRC for longer, find a way to make transport cheaper and encourage U.S. and Canadian competitors to build FIA cars. It's going to take some time.

Better to focus on quality more than quantity, so a way to find cheaper maybe sponsored transport would be a good way to improve the entry.
