I think one of the best decisions to be made for WRC is to return to 14 rallies-3-cars rule scheme...

A letter isn't a bad idea but it must be carefully written so that it is specific enough so it's not the same thing as the wrc.com survey but not so specific that you'd be telling the FIA what to do. Of course the suggestions should also be backed by facts and examples to show why they would be good.
If we decide to do this first we should try to gather as many ideas and discuss them so we can form some coherent proposals.
It's definitely worth a shot.

Pros: There're lot of very good drivers without a works drive (like Duval or Galli) and very talented young drivers who just can't step up onto the next level (like Wilks or Meeke or Aava). If there're 3 crews allowed for a team, then two experienced drivers will hunt for points, and the pressure will be off from young guns, allowing them to drive as they want, to learn.
Anyone wants to add more "+" and "-"?Martin Holmes about Sebastien Loeb: "Misery is being beaten when you just can't understand why".

As SpooSH posted, it has to be a politically-minded letter.
3 cars rule - well officially there's nothing stopping you entering 3 cars. But it should change back to the "top 2 manufacturer entries to finish" get the points rather than specifically-nominated drivers.
14 event calendar. I like AFF's idea of 10 standard events and the rest rotatingIf the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

And this combined with 14 events in a season would be an ideal version for me. And yeah, if 4 of them are rotated, that would be great I think.Martin Holmes about Sebastien Loeb: "Misery is being beaten when you just can't understand why".

Sauron, if you take a close look, you see that there's no need for any nomination. Even Ostberg with his Legacy could score points for Subaru.

Must have been something as he lost about 5 seconds during last 2 sections to Lappi.
