Mr Not, Very occasionally you have something worthwhile to say, unfortunately when you dont you keep posting huge ammounts of what I regard as drivel. Happy Christmas to you and ta for instruction on how to block your posts :)
I think the point why they want to do 10 rounds and special premission from FIA is that they still want to develop the car. They want ro register as manufacturer (so that then they can update the car) but they are asking the possibility to miss long haul events.Quote:

Long distance events should add pretty big amount of the budget, because they need two more cars and one more set of tools etc.
i really cant understand your point here. why is not good that Mini will do 10 rounds, instead of nothing. the money spend to send cars to NZ and registering as a manuf in the championship can be spend more wisely on development, although I doubt there will be any development in the Minis next year.Quote:

because at the top level of anything i accept only professionalism... as a spectator when i go to an event i expect the entrants to be according to the event they compete in. I hate to see rich boys doing WRC events because they can (and some (put random insult here) spectators to be happy about it)...and when we talk about manufacturers i want to see dedication...Quote:

I really hope they land a deal with a sponsor and manage to do every round and have an adequate testing schedule as well.....otherwise good riddance. I want more Citroen mentality in the sport and not Suzuki one.....
if i want to see so-so solutions and tourists parading around i have many options here where i come from.
The WRC is not taken seriously because they allow all these tourist mentality people (drivers,teams ect) have a slice of THE BEST MOTORSPORT IN THE WORLD.
If you are happy about that..allow me not to.
You really are a total waste of skin.....Quote:

No doubt money affect ability to develop and test and without that (money, tests, developing) you will only play the second hand on the piano. Sorry but thatīs it.
i do not agree with you people. what is wrong with approaching the sport with full dedication but limited funds. at least these people are doing what they can, at least offering us the spectators something more to watch. there is nothing wrong when such cars are driver as they are suppose to. i have been to wrc recently and i have witnessed the efforts of araujo and the other private minis and they were disgusting to watch. but sordo and meeke worth the time and effort to go to the stage. you cannot have a rally with just 4 rally cars.... because thats how many the serous win contenders are at the end of the day
if you are part of the mini rallying team (driver,mechanic ects) then that is not pointed towards you because you are just a pawn who got cheated like the rally fansQuote:

and yes it is very easy to sit behind the monitor and spout things....especially at people who give me every reason doing so...
I'm kinda disapointed with Mini, there were lots of promise and "Definites" from them and they get to the end of the season, and the definites turned into shadows-of a doubt. I am very surprised that after Sordo's podium finishes that they would even consider not entering, they clearly have something promising, why discard it?
