I asked this question on another forum, and someone directed me to this: new dimension - X-raid - Paulo Nobre / BRA - Palmeirinha BMW X3CCQuote:

Paolo Nobre is a really nice guy. I had a chance to have a chat with him in this year´s Rally Finland on his big crash scene. Just after his huge roll he was already joking about his totalled car and insurances and encouraging the spectators to lift (what was left of) his car from the ditch.
Paolo is really passionate for our sport (and for his country too). He wants to compete on top level with the best possible equipment. Who wouldn't? Paolo is driving with a big heart and I admire that, compared to someone who is driving because its a job.
Our sport needs these kind of heroes, the show needs them. Their driving is less clinical and provide a great spectacle. I absolutely can't understand the opinions that those drivers shouldn't enter? What would our sport be with 4 drivers only? And nobody would pay the teams for driving? I would never be interested enough to visit such a "spectacle".
Paolo is integral and interesting part of the show, we need him!
of course we need him but not in a WRC car...
For someone who is such an "integral and interesting" part of the sport, I find it very odd that I have never heard of him before - and I've been following rallying since 1992.
Rallying was always about the "average Joe" testing his abilities against the best...if we lose privateers then the sport will lose its character...
what we need is a filter for the top places. As the sport is nowadays there is no way it can get any credit or proper sponshorship.
I find it wierd that you haven't heard of him, Paolo has entered pwrc for the past 2 years, and has hold the brazilian flag flying high on the roof of his car. He has spiced up the otherwise too serious championship with his right attitude.
I don't understand the filter-argument of N.O.T.
In an ideal World everyone drives a WRCar, I don't se the problem you are having with that? Too much of a spectacle to comprehend?
