WRC main class in 2025

Hopefully everyone included "sound/noise" in the extra comment section at the end. I wouldn't believe anyone on here if they say they don't get goosebumps/excitement when they hear the first car a mile away in a forest.

Edit: Double post by accident.

What a WASTE of survey! This was ChatGPT made, no doubt on that
WHY all the repetitive useless questions? What.... "WRC should be unique because it takes place on a variety of surfaces"
...Like.... WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT???? Jeezzz haha

Also, those questions about top drivers personalities and inspirational.. whatever.. thats so weird. Of course its more interesting to listen to Oliver Solberg, Mads, Latvala, Lukyanuk, Craig talking. They are "more interesting" than three words Ott or weird humor Kalle. But thats fine. The focus is not HOW COOL they are... its who have the biggest balls to drive faster. Weird questions IMO. Like, they are asking tik tok kids questions for grown mens like we. WE watch Rally. Tik Tok kids will NOT WATCH rally. They will only see a clip of a rally crash and make a weird face "REACTING TO RALLY CRASHES"... f* off...

Lappis was testing the new Hankook tires for 2025? The general comments on Formula E about them are not that good.
If we get rally2s for 2025 is going to be a shame if we dont get tire war

The deal is done. Hankook will be.

Bring back roadside repairs, go to Rally 2s, give each rally its character back, allow private firms to build cars were my comments in a nutshell.

Roadside reparations can easily be regulated. Areas can be prepared. Spares can be filtered. Mechanics can be regulated. etz. etz. Should be right direction of future WRC.

Exactly. It's very easy to use a local dealership, a fuel station from a sponsor or something else to set up a service zone that is unique and different while opening up to new crowds. Service Park as it currently is just makes WRC seem like circuit racing.

It's 2024, not 1994. Think of the risk assessments, permissions, personnel, portaloos, barriers involved. A fuel station does not want crowds of people stood watching crews working on their cars - who won't be customers, and neither does the championship want that image. Be realistic, not, passive permissive: "It's very easy".

I think you're massively underestimating the amount of space required for this......

On the opposite. So many areas can be used. Environmental regulation to be followed of course. But nothing hard to execute.
How do you think refuel services are currently arranged? This is easier and can be managed at same spot (except from 50 m away) and not all cars arrive at the same time.
