    Joker lap is a super thing, that bring tactics, but more from the spotters than drivers.

    Wider tracks, not that many hard bends, maybe two jokers in finals could give more options for changes during a heat.

    That's true, but even if they keep the same tracks they need to make the grid gaps a bit bigger to allow some advantage to those on the front.

    With the acceleration of these cars and how close the grid is stacked, everyone heading into the first corner almost as one is getting more and more common.

    It seems pretty close in the races, but the results and the tables only tell one side of the story. Peugeot have made a big leap this year and I think, in terms of pace, are roughly level with VW. Audi seem to trail a bit and then GRX and GCK are in a similar boat a bit further back.

    That's what they want, it's 'exciting'.

    Does anyone know if there were any changes at Silverstone following the BRX event? It was suggested that the drivers input may have resulted in some changes, but tbh I didn't think it was realistic at the time.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    Any kind of motor racing can look better on a TV than rally does, especially when racing series are designed to entertain the audience, like WRX. Rally is not about beating a direct rival on an artificial track; it’s about challenging your own limits in common roads, under nature’s random elements.

    There’s nothing like Rally in terms of pure driving and every driver/crew managing to brightly perform on this sport deserves fans respect and admiration, no matter if they eventually win a title or not.

    Btw, during the next days I’ll be able, just like thousands and thousands of Portuguese rally fans, to go to my country finest forest roads and enjoy some first class ‘paint drying’…somehow, those are always the best days of the year! Long live the WRC!
    Yes I've been to rallies and it's for the party and atmosphere, not for the race. Seeing a blur of a car fly by, waiting 2 minutes for a few seconds glimpse of another blur is fun at first, but quickly looses its attraction. WRC is best on TV.

    I find WRC tedious on TV, not even close to being stood out on the stages.

    I enjoy watching the TV coverage, but they are never going to be able to convey the sense of speed you getting standing at the side of a stage and watching a car speed past!
