    I really don't understand how you figure the car more boring

    I think the move away from turbocharged cars was the most idiotic thing ever...... turbo charged engines are cheaper. They could have made them 1.6l turbocharged engines and had a cheaper series but no......
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    A little OT but which of the 'leaving' threads were actually true?

    This one. Common Sense sadly couldn't get funding to do the whole season. But we may see her on selected European rounds next year.

    Meeke and Pons.

    Pons tired of spending money, Meeke has none.

    It is becomming that way, longer stages where drivers are tested, less repeating of stages would be nice although nowadays it's much easier, if you dont like watching the same stage twice work it out so that you see 2 different corners over the run of one stage twice.....
    For me it's the atmosphere and being right there with the cars, i admit seeing the same corner 2 times is boring although theres nothing from stopping you walking up the stage(marshall's are usually retarded especially the ones in NZ, they cant leave their post to chase you) and as long as your not a moron and stand in a place that isn't dangerous there should be no real issues.....

    I must admit watching previous years the WRC has really evolved into less of a sport and more of a TV entertainment scheme...

    Kris Meeke, Roman Kresta, Antony Warmbold, Xevi Pons and of course Common Sense. All the others were made up by frustrated forum members.
