Maybe more explanation of the last 2 point you made? Why are the pits a "joke" and uncomfortable?

Plan9 I love how you get offended by anything said against Mini in any way. Seems like if you could you'd marry Kris Meeke and the Prodrive Mini. They need more fans like you however I'm not sure about Kris Meeke as a driver though.

Nah I'm not offended by his comments. I laughed at his remarks too. But I have followed Prodrive since forever. I didn't know he was on the market? =p (just jokes of course). You may well be right about him however I don't think chances like he had come around twice.

Another wierd thing....I had a Ford VIP pass....Ford and Citroen seem to be marketing their camps towards gearheads....Mini seem to be aiming towards 13 year-old girls? I felt uncomfortable in the Mini area.

Why are we a 'joke'? ok we only have the money to put the cars on the event and there not a lot of big tentage going on and champagine bars but its well presented and functonal.

And as for us aiming towards 13 year old girls... wtf? what bit of the mini area were you in?

I have never understood huge motorhomes in rallying ??

For the past years at NORF, every second year Citroen and MSport brought a bigger and bigger motorhome. And the VIP-area is obvioulsy filled with people who couldn't care less about following rally out there at the stages :mark:

They're the people who pay the bills!

The concept of sponsorship and corporate hospitality is not a terribly difficult one.

However this could be the sign that big money is on the way to WRC. Same people as in F1 might like to join the serviceareas of WRC and then spens some sponsormoney on teams...?

Dunno about that. Citroen had a huge RedBull motorhome. The contrast to smaller teams is sad. Some had a tent smaller the one in our terrace. Yet the spirit might have been larger ;)
