For me, my disappointment is with the FIA in not focusing on regulations that allow more manufacturers to become part of the WRC. Piss and moan about Ford all you want but without them, these last 5 years would have been much, much worse. For one, I appreciate there willingness to put forth the effort they do to keep a foothold in the WRC. A true underdog story and one I will be looking forward to watching in 2012.
    I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments. However, one has to wonder why Ford must be such an underdog. With the occasional exception, its motorsport record in the last 30 years has not been impressive.

    It's not anger, more passion and a need to see more competitive rallying. Hopefully we'll see that.

    It is so easy, let the manufacturer championship disappear and the driver who wins the championship with their team, that brands are also manufact champion.
    More teams with more good and cheaper cars in the WRC and more fun for the fans and not always the same winners.
