    I still have in mind Monte-Carlo06 where two whales could have ended on podium but were "stolen" by "Superrallyman Loeb"...

    Sandell was only leading by 5 stages in the whole JWRC this year, that's very few for a champion.

    Aava, Andersson or Meeke should be the champion this year and not Sandell.

    That's true, but I don't think there was ever anything wrong with the show or the sport. The problem in my view has always been TV broadcasting. The WRC was great, it just didn't reach enough people to be prosperous. The FIA should have done nothing, and ISC should have done a lot. It's been the other way around.

    And the result is that the sport-show is worse than it was, and there is still no proper broadcasting.

    Now that S2000 is coming to reality, I find it very appealing that the same would happen than in the past with F2. No superrally and we could have an interresting results full of S2000 or group-N cars

    Why not take the special rules away once and for all. Let every day be a race of its own. Score points for every day. There will be a lot of cars on sundays and they will all drive at full speed. This sunday cruising would be a good thing to miss.

    Rallying is supposed to have an element of endurance / survival, splitting a 3 day event into 3 one day events removes this. Its the same as splitting a circuit race into induvidual laps, defeating the whole object of the exercise...
    I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.

    I can imagine the amount of Superrally restarters after first leg of a rally like Safari Kenya for example !!

    I think the dominence of Loeb on this event made a mockery of the superrally rules. The penalty should be more severe. You shouldn`t be effectively `out of the rally` and be able to get on the podium.

    But i would rather see this stupid idea scrapped.


    .
    real cars only power the rear wheels.
    Loeb for World Champion.(Again)
    Andy Priaulx for World Champion.(Again)

    And if it was the other way round you'd be happy and wouldn't say a word of it..........
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.
