The cleaning was always an issue and in the old days was even worse... but the only person who seems to be annoyed that much is Ogier...
When Loeb was beating him like a dog without an owner and won events he did not open his mouth.... he also does not open his mouth in events where being first is an advantage (hanging dust/ muddy conditions)
Yes the system is unfair and there is no solution for it apart from making the championship an all tarmac one...
Mr Ogier is the best driver by a long way from the current batch... but nobody will care for him after he retires and nobody will even mention him in future talks about the best drivers...
in order to become GOD you have to be gracious.

media passes allow people who wear them access on the stage 1 hour before the start... if they were proper professionals they would just recce the stages before hand and chose a proper spot... the fact that one follows the other like blind sheep knows they are clueless about rallying and they should stick in photographing mountains, lakes, cats and weddings.
A confirmation of that is that most pictures/videos taken by amateurs are in a million times better spots than those of professionals
check the videos of MartinJ/bunnings/KKSF and you will see some proper rally spots instead of those useless rock and lake and villages photos that happen to also have a car with stickers in.

there was a great solution - the QS. I liked it, it was fair and every driver carries his own responsibility for the start order. There ware no complains for that I believe.

Agree with N.O.T. about the photographers. They can enter the stage if they want 1 hour before the start. I don't believe McKlein photographers are being dropped off in helicopters these days. Seen their photographers with cars over the last years. Anyway, it has not much to do with budget.
They just get the mediabook with the spots chosen by the organization and they pick spots only out of that book, and you know why? Because there is a mediaparking at most of those spots, so they don't have to walk far to get to the stage!
Every rally the same story, Spain, everybody is at the big hairpin etc. Italy, the 2 big jumps.Follow us at http://facebook.com/rallymedia or http://www.rallymedia.nl !

By the way. I agree with N.O.T. somehow without his particular way of seeing the rich kids. Common sense tells us that a blow to the head can start with a concussion and severe trauma continue. Each head is different and each brain sees things differently. After a stroke and certain period signs and symptoms may appear, such as dizziness, feeling sick, loss of balance and unconsciousness.

I could't disagree more ! The REAL professionals HAVE to go to Fafe in Portugal, as they OUGHT to go to Meteora, otherwise every event would look the same. Places like these show the individual character of each rally.
