Softer but in terms of more agile to bumps. About the speed it looks quite equal to Proton S200:D

the speed is indeed amazing for an R2....
It maybe quick, bug damn its ugly!
You're not wrong. R2's tend to be a bit like that. Would look OK with the S2000 bodykit.Quote:

Don't click the link N.O.T, you will hate it :D
hmmm indeed...how successful are these shows ? as far as attendance goes ?
Full stadium with 15.000 people in 09 (1000 didn't get in) Half full on friday qualifying and 15.000 again on saturday in 2010 and a bit over 10.000 last year i think. And they had a show in Viking stadium a few months before that had good attendance too.Quote:

good to know he is recovering well
He has a twitter :confused:
and there are people who read it :eek:
The WRC doesn't need more people to discgarce the sport....
hope wilson recovers and he is healthy 100% but he is a disgrace when it comes to rallying....
Wilson is OK, at least he is nice to watch in stages. Disgrace is Nobre and Araujo in the 'Works' Mini team
NOT you are so predictable and dare i say boring!
that is where the whole beauty of my existance lies....Quote:

Even though he wins, he always whines about something. I doubt he will be glad even if the whole championship consists of a few rally sprints near Alsace. Such *** behaviour shows why he will never be a real hero. Just a driver who achieved big number of wins in sport's poorest years.
:D You gotta be fking kidding me...Quote:

Disgrace to the sport is to have fans thinking like that :(Quote:

I don´t think you´ve seen the overall stuff here. The sport rallying has slowly been brought nearer and nearer the big crowds and where they live, in the cities. So also the WRC. And nothing to do about it. Look at F1.Quote:

OK. What I mean is that norweigans are far better in promoting our beloved sport. And that´s what Petter and MAds are doing. If we in Sweden where half as good in promoting ourselves we also would hav a couple of WRC drivers today, but we haven´t.
Why don´t you lika swedes, by the way? varför gillar du inte svenskar, förresten?
You don't have to quote "the 50's & 60's" Per.
The 70's & 80's, and even the 90's, were fine.
There's no harm in running promotional events at all however if you have to dynamically
alter the sport's format, so as to be unrecognisable, in order to attract spectators you ought question
the value of the very people you're chasing.
For sure but it´s all mixed together. No people whatever or whoever they are looking or attending the rallies, means no money from TV, sponsors etz. That´s the way it is today. Maybe a problem if you want purity. And I could say that too, but it´s too much to ask.Quote:

And I know there must be change, growth, etc but I have seen data on who the all important "target demographic" that it seems all the change is aimed at : the target set of eyes are in the head of a theoretical 14 to 24 year old kid living in Orange County California....
I'm sorry but it doesn't help ME, or my lilla one man firm making rally parts one bit if millions of energy drink crazed, pimple squeezing 14 year olds see Block's latest masturbatory fantasy.. It hasn't help the fjutiga small Rally scene in USA, but it has evidently helped Ken and Travvie.
Perra, I live in the best (or worse country= in the world for contentless cynical lying promotion, where a 3 second thing can be stretched into a 30 minute TV program like Block's ''longest jump in the world'' BS... I also lived not far from you when Swedish moto-cross, THE DOMINANT country in the sport from the beginning in VM was changed in its format to make it "more friendly for TV" and Sweden's dominance ended shortly thereafter...and i watch American moto-cross transform from a mass sport to yet another over promoted spectacle to WATCH with the rise of stadium or Super-cross which even that devolved into "extreme! MX".
As WRC and VM i cross has become more and more "just another simple sprinty deal", participation, at the local level; has shrunk everywhere, and without a broad base, there's little general awareness, and little market value---except for big hype up scenes and that perpetuates the tendency for those with some independent $$$ in the first place to "slurka upp allt" peng och intresse.
And so for 15 years the old saying "Choose your parents carefully" is so much more important.
gillar inte svenskar...Silly boy vi måste kunna reta norskarna lite eller.....?
+1 It is disgraceful that people are reliant on people like him and I cannot remember any other era that has had as many people like him involved; he must be one of the least experienced WRC drivers out there. However Nobre's money is probably tiding MI over for this year. Also I read that 2 MINI's need to be around for homologation purposes for Prodrive.Quote:

:up: The relatively small world of Rallying(compared to certain other motorsports) need to get across to the rest of the world and give them an idea of the sport we know and love.Quote:

This gives them an idea of the skill level of the drivers that compete, and the sheer lunacy of the drivers and specially built the cars are that compete.
Give them a taste, you never know, they may just want more...
We need more more cars from these R classes if we want to see more drivers entering rallies. About ugly, you probably haven't watch F1 lately.Quote:
