I think she can do a great job, she was never afraid to call a spade a spade in the past, and she certainly has the knowledge.

Good luck to her, and to all rally fans.

Sport and commerical (promotion) in two hand . Will be important to have good discussion and understanding between them.

Of course...with no commercial benefit there will be no manufacturers.

However, the first agenda must be lowering the cost to develop, buy and run a car in the first place. Lower the entry barrier and more people will take part. S2000 is a start towards this but they have to be careful not to make it too prohibitive again.

To my mind "commercial" can mean many things not simply sponsorship. In today's age of Twitter, immediate news, blogs etc the WRC has to wake up and realise. The old days were fun waiting for hours to see who finished Kielder overnight but that's the past and doesn't work in 2010.
