Existence of superally certainly doesn't make WRC the place to be for manufacturers nor a more popular sport. It's been here for enough time to prove that. In some way it destroyed the old spirit - that means You have to finish first. During those years everyone learned that retirement in one or two legs doesn't mean that much and especially in support championships it often completely ruined the value of the title. Driving like mad and crash every day except the last usually short one is sure spectacular but it destroys the origins of our sport and adds some fake feelings like when a retired driver wins all stages of last day because others don't need to push. His public image gets much higher than he deserves for crashing on first day. People shall admire the one who manages to get from start to finish in shortest time not the one who wins many stages but never finishes without superally. I think that last decade showed that making WRC a show for spectators didn't work. It hasn't worked for years so why shall it work now? Rallying was most popular when it was a real competition without superally, power stage and other useless PC-game features. If someone wants to restart, why not but no points for that.Quote:
