Would agree. Hirvonen is right, it does sound moronic. An event is fought over 18 (or whatever) stages, not 1- survival of the fittest and fastest. Let's hope FIA do not cave in to such nonsense trying to chase TV viewing figures.

So Capito told Gronholm-
"I told him, 'Ok, then go home. I'll find another young driver who wants to win. Go home to Finland, you buy a used car, pay for your fuel, but in three months no one will remember you. It will give young drivers who love this format. They are champions and earn more money than you, because they are real stars are. "

Utterly ridiculous idea - completely against what Rallying is about.

It would be like deciding the Le Mans 24 Hour race with a 5 minute shoot out..... fastest lap wins......

It looks so bad :( .

There are also plans to revamp QS too. Let's see which is the "improvement" here :rolleyes: .

I want some of the stuff Capito was smoking, it seems like its very good stuff!!!

That's totally idiotic idea. Hopefully there's some sense left in rally commission and it won't go through...

Just the idea being considered is an example of the times we are living on rallying :rolleyes: . It could be a trial balloon. Let's explode it! :D
