This time I actually agree with N.O.T. I felt the same when Richard Burns won his title.

In all honesty I think that having too many sprint style events is really not good for the WRC as it waters down the level of skill needed. SuperRally has also contributed to it.

The power stages are only there to keep up viewer interest. If WRC had the ratings of F1 they may not be there at all.

Hirvonen is also winging about "danger" in stages and "dust problems".

Thanks to power stages, SupeRally and only 2 manufacturers who are competing full time, my interest was never so low in WRC as it is this year. Now I follow with much more enthusiasm the IRC, ERC and the national championships.

I agree with N.O.T. and AndyRAC.

Off topic: It is great to see you posting again, A.F.F.

No just got back from last Regional rally where I was 'kau-draiver' in Volvo 240 driven by my friend Al Kun, aka Al Kunkanenn.
Damn those 240s work good!
In this part of USA everybody gets a honorary Finnish name if they show any real spirit, and I am the offical dispenser of Finnish names.

Funny thing is I never got one....Just the old stand-by Jan van Vurpa.

Andyway poor head doesn't work, very sick with flu and what little brains that didn't get knocked out before has turned into whatever it is I am coughing up and blowing out of my poor nose...

Its not that bad, Jan Two Vurpa would make people to belive you are on your nose all the time, good Finnish name for you would be Janne Lippanen almost an direct translation.
Tell your wife to make you an old Finnish-Asian drink, cook some ginger (lot of ginger only little water) mix that then with for you so well known Kossu, and drink that, if it dont help, it's any way nicer to be sick after drinking it.
