You like it or not, things will change, new generations will grow and there will always be people who passionately follows their beloved sport.
Because electricity is very related to gaming :D I don't understand why there is so much emphasis on the sound. I mean it is really awesome, but it is just like a side-effect for me, the main thing is the art of driving. If they would be thinking about adding some kind of self driving cars or helpers for driver that would be way worse than no nice sound.Quote:

And for that, the sport must be as spectatcular as possible, because if not then how are you supposed to gather the crowds?!
We always talk about manufacteurs and promoters but what about the organizers?! It has also got much more expensive to host a round and working on Tourism promotion I can tell you, it has started to become very difficult to justify a 1-1.5 million budget to sponsor a round, specially if you are in Tourism board.
Don´t take me seriously. I´m just a grumpy retired old man... But pure rallyfan, you bet I am.
Spot on. Mild hybrids are the only reasonable way to go as they provide an eco label to the series without affecting the fans perception of the sport and manus development costs. High tech hybrid rally cars would be wildely expensive and fully electric cars aren’t yet ready for a proper rally use.Quote:
