Anyway, from the 2007 PWRC entry list: this could be one of the best years of PWRC (even considering group N days), this is very important so that the championship gains its own name and importance.

I have said it before, for those who WANT to keep acitve on the World Rally level (not going to regional or national level, which are great too, I don't put them down or belittle them), and don't have the huge budgets to run World cars, PWRC is a good catagory. It was good fight in Sweden and I am sure we see good fights in the rest of the events too.
I cant wait to see how the PWRC turns out, i think the likes of Flodin,Alen and Jones will have fantastic battles between them they had a great battle on Wales rally GB but would not like to take a guess who wins this year there are so many gifted drivers in it
I think the same, the only problem is that some years the entry is not so good, but this year it is.Quote:

That is true, but with the costs for a world car and/or S2000 getting bigger and with the small support of both Subaru and Mitsu more and more people will find PWRC a good alternative.Quote:

No matter how well you drive, if you are outside the Championship, nobody notices. Look at Ketomäki in Sweden. Did you know that he was leader in gr.N for 2 days? That is why this system is good.Quote:

About the teams and drivers, I'll study it better. But in fact you wrote something that is undoubtable. Many drivers with points comparing to the ones who nominated rallyes.
