You're looking at the solution from the wrong side. Instead of banning or punishing talent maybe you should think of a way to get more better young drivers so that pensioners can't come in and dominate so easily.Quote:

This isn´t all live... right?
Yes but in f1 you see those cars pass your corner 50 times. I WRC you see them once. Who would climb rocks to see 10 carsQuote:

Easily? I wouldn't be so sure. Easy is for a multi time champion performing well with good road position, but last year he wasn't up to his standards even with that rocket of the Yaris.Quote:

No he wouldn’t with all due respect to mighty Ogier, he wouldn't've had the road position benefit he has now, & I don't think either of the current championship contenders would’ve made his life easy.Quote:

You could ask the same question now yet still many people do, and lets face it, in a formula 1 race you barely see them for a second cause they go by so fast, so you end up looking at a big screen. Rallying isn’t for the faint of heart, yes it’s demanding but a) no one is forcing you to go and b) you’d have the ERC and would probably be cheaper and hey if it makes it popular and eventually kills the WRC, so be it.Quote:

Like you said, last year he didn’t look impressive on gravel rallies
He didn’t pick the rallies he wants to do for no reason. Monte and Mexico so far this year
this argument has no logic, maybe it's time for bedQuote:

What do you suggest?Quote:

So I think there need to be more top level cars, if the solution is Rally2 or Rally2+ or something else I can't say but they need to find a way to have more drivers in top cars to have a healthier competition.Quote:

To be clear, I don’t think you’re wrong but it takes away from the championship when these two guys come at will when one of them clearly should do a full season but can’t be bothered with cleaning the roads or finding the snowbanks in Sweden.Quote:

Loubet need to practice more in Wrc2. He is not ready for this speed yet, at least not on gravel.
Did Loubet actually hit something? I only saw him stopped but not what actually happened.
It was a hard hit, harder than fridayQuote:

The "shitty" Citroen won Mexico 2 out of 3 times and could have easily won in 18 as well, so go figure how shitty the C3 was.Quote:
