Why would want to swap Argentina with any event?Quote:

I can understand wanting an event closer to where you live but it is the WORLD Rally Championship. If there is any event that should never be dropped it is the Rally Argentina.
I think you've misunderstood.Quote:

"To all of you Petter Solberg-fanatics out there: you can enjoy yourself now. Does he seem competitive now? Just wait until we can tell whether a new, exciting agreement will soon be on the table. It should be able to get him back where he truly belongs, among those with a permanent seat on the podiums.
In about one or two weeks' time, it all should be in place."
Wonder what this means.. Time will show.. ;)
FIA is planning to increase GrN restrictor from 32mm to 33mm to equalize the performance of S2000 and GrN. I think it is better idea than adding weight to S2000 all the time :-) How much more power it can produce? In my mind they should increase it even more and take that extra 50kg weight away from S2000.
Petter with a proper seat??? :eek:Quote:

Yeah, agree, but even more stupid is to add extra weight for S2000 cars and making them less spectacular. I think that the new solution is much better. GrN definitely needs little bit more power.Quote:

I agree with AndyRAC, I wanted to write something similar.
To tell the truth I don't mind having S2000 without additional limits and more powerfull group N cars in one class. It needn't to be a big problem if the cars are very different. Rallys are also different and if one has advantage on one rally and the other on another one, it's ok for me and also good for the championship in my opinion. I would add N-GTs to the same class as well even though they would be usefull in tarmac only. Variety is what makes championship more interesting for public.
What I realy hate is to make S2000 heavier and heavier to slow them down to match current gr.N performance...
