I see this as positive When they kept on ****ing around with the WRC and F1 they screwed them both up and made them a bit more boring. Perhaps if they leave the WRC alone it will get a bit more exciting.
I live in hopeRule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

More of the meeting slowly coming public...
Chandler stated that the WRCC has a wide variety of far reaching options under consideration. "We must prepare the future to fit in with the available types of car expected to be on the market and the new generation of promotional ideas. We must also find solutions to the situation where teams want fewer events, yet more and more organisers want to be part of the championship."There are two rules for success

well when the rotational system was last in, i wasnt into the WRC but i hear it was a disaster...some one wanna fill me in on its failings?
but from where i stand it looks like a good idea...as long as the monte is always round 1.
im british, but i think it is probably too much to expect WRGB to be kept as a permanent fixture in a rotational system.....freewebs.com/xlxoxdx/WRC%20SIG.jpg
Well no IMG Code or URL Code, so just paste it into the adress bar to look at it lol.

If they go for lesser events as they should then a rotational system is the only possible solution. However certain events should always run; Monte, Acropolis,1000 Lakes, Rally GB, the rest can rotate. The last time they tried rotation the Monte and RAC wre left off he calendar in 1996, you can't have a WRC without those two events, even if they are a shadow of the classic events they used to be.
What we want now is a clear decision on whether the WRC stays with WRCars or an alternative, e.g S2000, but what is desparately needed are more manufacturers and cheaper cars and less top drivers sitting on their arses doing nothing, while 'Rent-A-Drivers' take most of the seats.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Hm... Looking at Henning' car, did the FIA again allowed to use both driver' and co-driver' names on the back glasses?

I guess the new R classes will be some kind of compromise on costs of cars, maybe not full WRC cars and maybe not S2000, perhaps S2.5 or something. I'm sure we will see some big changes by 2009, F1 changes are big pushing for cost savings and "green" image.
I am from Gran Canaria. I am absolutely convinced that there will be no problem with the rally.
