I listened to this and I think he could really improve the rally scene in middle east, africa and china. I think the plan is like... "Ok, you can all do like new zealand and argentina. Dont need to follow everything FIA demands for european rally" hahah something like that?
Also replying to your Thoughts? Q in the Rally1 thread:
Why do all WRC cars have to be the same segment, silhouette and engine with maximum and minimum lengths, heights, with four seats etc? I've wondered this for years, I believe it's protecting existing (European) stakeholder's interests frankly. That protectionism is how you ensure you get left behind. In my simple mind, Rally1 to Rally5 should be based on maximum power/weight and cost, be road legal, series production cars of any shape and size with as few regs as possible but for safety. Hopefully MBS will see liberation as the answer to improving the regionals, he's alluded to that in the interview. Improve the regionals and you will improve the WRC IMO and so I hope he doesn't introduce formulas for the Middle East that don't work in Africa and so on.
Please use another thread for stuff made by Dirtfish. This is a meta thread about Dirtfish itself.
Please post that in the news thread.
Meanwhile, Dirtfish changed their advertising logic on twitter, some posts said "go to dirtfish.com to find out" instead of linking directly to the article...annoying again
they have started now with some sort of analysis after the rally but nothing special https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytXe7pmvq9Y
Pretty poor in my opinion.
Credit where credit is due, the Tony Pond Retrospective is an excellent read. Job well done on that one.
