What will Jean Todt do for the WRC.....?
What will Jean Todt do that Ari Vatanen couldn't do for the WRC sport?!
I could see Ari doing a much better job at promoting and working on the WRC... more that Jean Todt.... but I must admit I don't know who Jean is or what his past motorsport history is.
Any thoughts guys?GG: "I'm stinky! I needa good shower and nice bowl of pasta!"

- Peugeot left WRC after the demise of the Group B, to enter Paris-Dakar. Winners in ´87, ´88, ´89 and 1990 (and in ´91 with Citroën).
- Peugeot went to Sportscar racing, took Le Mans wins in ´92 and ´93.
- Peugeot refused to enter F1, so Todt left to join Ferrari. Was a team manager until 2007 and then became CEO of Ferrari until early 2009.
Oh yeah, he is also married to a former Bond girl.

There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!

When I go to WRC event, I want to see the best drivers as always. If I want to see some national drivers, I can go to some other less popular event.. Just simple.
