Mousse system

[White Sauron]

So... We all saw what happened with some drivers in Greece, even though they had a tyre mousse system. Actually, the tyre factor became decisive. I don't think that's good, especially for next year, when this system is going to be banned. This could meen a danger of not having a rally winner who won by his driving. Rather a winner who paced himself slowely in order to avoid all the problems at all. This style reminds me me Markko Martin of the beginning of 2005. Don't think anyone likes it. But Ok... I remember some monthes ago even Sebastien Loeb was talking about stupid banning of mousse, in Greece again he and Gronholm hinted at this problem. Actually I just don't understand why the FIA wants to apply this rule, if ALL drivers and teams don't mind it and they'd rather use this system then saving costs on it...

Well... What do you think? Should this system stay? Maybe we should write a pettition to the FIA?)

Does anybody know the cost of the mousse system?

When a control tyre is applied, maybe all drivers will be forced to drive on more durable tires. Today all drivers’ drive with a tire that is as soft as possible, but if the softest (and least durable) tires are not an option, then punctures will be less common.

I would assume the tyres will be built harder and tougher when the mousse system is banned. Then the possibility of the punctures can be lowered but harder tyre means less grip, which lead to reduced speed....

More than the ban on mousse system, I don't like the rule that the car has to have 4 wheels and 4 tyres to drive on the public road to service. I thought driving on 3 wheels are also part of the show, and I enjoyed it quite honestly.

Reduced speed is good and harder tyre is saving cost!
DRIVERS HAVE TO SHOW THAT THEY CAN STAY ON THE ROAD.
I want to see who is the best driver and not which car is the bests!

Óìóò with the hard compound drivers will have to take care of tyres... And much will still depend on luck. Do you think that in these conditions you can see who is the fastest? Doubt so...

Yes saving costs. This is what FIA has tried to achieve the past 4-5 years in order to increase the rounds of WRC. We have all seen the result of that!!!!!
Less manufacturers, less cars, less drivers, less interest.
And as I have understood noone takes into account drivers opinions. They know something more...

I don't mind seing the mousse banned. Less corner cutting and less rally sprint feeling.

I don't really see a problem with that, besides it will show who is fastest in new conditions.

And driving of the style of Bjoin, Hannau, Walter, Ari, Timo, Markku, Stig, Juha and Pennti etc who if I remember correctly were not that slow around the place.

And punctures have always been a factor in rallying.

And even with mousse as we saw last weekend in Greece.
