Rally Discussion and Bar Talk Thread

The article is quite poor. They should focus on better quality instead of spamming.

Why poor ? And what spamming ?

An interesting piece about the new WRC 2017.. "Are big wings really the answer ?"
https://www.drivetribe.com/p/YHbcZR1...SOqd93gQHBX2Ig

It may seem an interesting piece but what’s the real point of it? Why bother to question the new regs long after they were decided and just a couple of days before their implementation? Is the guy secretly wishing something to go wrong in order to came out and say: “I told you so…”? Honestly, I don’t get why rally fans sometimes are so keen undermining their own sport. A new WRC era is just about to start: let’s enjoy it and hope it will become a golden one!

Btw, the new regs were a manus choice lead by VW, not by the promoter. The aero kit and the active diff aren’t superfluous: they’re necessary to use the extra power in an efficient way. And once for all: these cars are spectacular and their ‘wow factor’ is vital to bring global attention to WRC.

the comment session in this drivetribe link its pretty... "wrc".
Everybody complaining about how WRC promote and present the series... Saying redbull should do a better job, like how they do with the SOAP BOX RACE or Global RallyCross.
But NO ONE knows have any decent idea or suggestion.

I believe theres one person who said "They should have some Sprint events.. some Endurance Events.. cuz all 13 races are the same nowadays".. He has a point, right?

Im super new to WRC, only my 2nd year watching, but Im a huge fan of the cars, the drivers.. and the full stages on WRC+ and the Highlights on RedBullTv.. I dont know what they could do for MORE. Its a hard sport to promote around

My Spanish is not good enough to be certain of translation. General theme seems to be Nico Rosberg thinks Rally is too dangerous and does not have big enough balls to try rally but he might like to do rallycross. Any fluent Spanish speakers on the forum able to check translations https://www.facebook.com/autotvperu/...7925007560624/

Yup, he said rallying it's to dangerous, even more than F1. And that he likes to "fight" with other drivers on track. He said that maybe rallycross could be for him one day. As NOT would put it, who cares about ladyboys opinions :P

Funny to see this talk appearing almost at the same time than today’s announcement. We may not like the F1 circus and their pop stars drivers, but it’s fair to say that Rosberg seemed a nice fellow on this interview. His retirement is a shock, but motorsport is a powerful addiction and see him returning in a couple of years wouldn’t be a surprise. Anyway, best luck to him and his family.

Im not up to speed on the new regulations. Ive Heard exiting things said about it. What I fear is we turn back into WRC 1997-2010? era with high Tech cars that was looking increasinly less spectacular like on rails. Are these fears unfounded at the moment?

they are exactly the same as in those years, i think you should stop following the WRC altogether.
