Novinky od Citroenu - RRC a nov sponzor translate plse.
There is nothing new which was not mentioned here.
Without the need of an engineer... That is good news I think!
Looking forward to the R5 category!

The Pommies sure use the word engineer in a broad manner...what happened to the word "mechanic"?Quote:

And man I don't know about the rest of you but I am fed up to HERE! with the utter, pointless ARTIFICIAL screwing around with restrictor sizes. 34 for this, then 33, but for a lesser spec CAR, presumably run by somebody with lesser BUDGET----we'll stick a even smaller straw to suck thru?
AssH@#* FIA and braindead ASNs ! It WILL already be slower and the chosen few WILL be faster, so don't need to strangle them more!
(The Canadian Federation has just at one go---with no complaints of the status quo, decided to slap a bunch of incredibly stupid ideas on the 2wd Open classes, among others in "Turbo 2wd class" suddenly from any engine size and no restrictor straight to max 2000cc and 32mm restrictor. Either corruption or unfathomable ignorance seem to be the only logical explanations--- no connection here except WTF with restricting already lower output, lower budget cars MORE?)

To the average viewer, different classes are just a couple of letters and numbers, and behind it all there is a difference of 1mm in turbo restrictors. Potential new viewers dont really need all this, and it gets dull really quickly.
Production, S2000 and WRC classes should be enough. But what about R2.... :p
I agree to this. Just look at Moto GP and the succes of it. Allways had three classes and more or less the same classes all over the globe. Rally is heading to same direction as junior formulas, many classes/championships an all of them suffering to find class drivers and creditability....Quote:
