Domination by VW means we need a bit of another interest or no-one will bother watching the WRC anymore.

Capito is getting on my t*ts now. As if his stupid 'shootout' idea wasn't enough, now he's trying to shun Loeb from a comeback, no matter how small. Pathetic. He really knows what the fans want.
I think VW are planning to set a new record of winning every round of the season, which is entirely possible for them, and now this has p*ss on his chips a bit. Does he realise that VW's domination is even greater than Citroens was, and how detrimental it is to the WRCs future?
Why don't they just have Neuville and Sordo do all the rounds in 1st team and then enter 2 cars for the N-team split between Paddon, Bouffier and Hänninen and maybe another specialist for some events?Quote:

You can't blame VW / Capito at all, they just do their job. All competitors should put their act together instead of relying on rule changes to disadvantage VW, shame on FIA, Jean Todt is the scared dog. FIA kills it's own sport, not Capito. FIA's task is to create a healthy championship with good PR and very well organized TV coverage, that is their job, attracting potential sponsors and getting more manufactures to step in. On these solid grounds anybody can win rallies.
I don't get the running order debate at all. Imagine it the other way round, why would you give the worst starting positions to the slower drivers? It's always going to be 'unfair' for some people. Rallying has got one of the best 'handicaps' for frontrunners available, which are purely natural in contrast to idiotic weight ballasts or reversed grids. And remember, the guy 2nd in the championship will be right behind the leader, it's not like he will be 10th or something.
Let's not even begin about tarmac events, rain, or dust, you name it.
