What if ........ ?

Because it's a lot better for Moron-Sport to have a totally new formula with less competitors than to have strong competition as in the IRC

Because they are thinking of themselves, as a business, as opposed to what is best for the sport. As long as Ford/Citroen appear to run the sport, things won't progress as much as they should. We should have had the S2000's to 2013, then bring in a new formula, maybe S1.4T/S1.6T. There are far more Manufacturers with S2000's, than those who have/are building S1.6T.
£348,000 for a SuperProduction Mini, how much is the 'full fat' version going to cost? Ford/Citroen moan about costs, yet wanted the S1.6T cars
Hardly encouraging new Manufacturers, as yet....

A lot of us have seen this in IRC for a few seasons already, but why did he not speak out when he had the chance to make a difference ?

Maybe the train was going on with such speed by the time he realized it, that it was hard to stop at that point.

What would you pay for a revised front bumper, bigger rear wing, plastic side windows, slightly lighter flywheel and bigger brakes with re-circulated water-cooling? The aero kit (front bumper + rear wing) are mandatory but the rest are optional in WRC.

Few years ago there was an article of a guy that built a replica of the WRC Focus and called M-Sport and asked for the price for a rear wing. The price was 10.000 £.

The good thong with this is the same basic car can be used in both regional and WRC rallies. The bad thing is that the S2000 (or Super production or whatever S2000 will be called in the future) will be a lot more expensive compared to current ones.

Like I said, the FIA should have done what it needed to and bollocks what the current teams said. They've done that before, just in a negative way like when they banned 3rd drivers.....
