There is very bad spectator control! Not so bad as in Monte Carlo, but the speed in Poland is so high that it was pure luck that nothing serious happened...

It´s also too fast rally (flat out all the time, no crests etc.) and in 2017 cars will be also faster than the current ones...

Agree. I do would like Poland to stay in the Championship but they have to change. If safety is managed like last year someone will die for sure in the next events.

The only other news is that Ch5 will also have daily shows during Rally GB. :)

That's good news. Channel5 are probably a slightly more high profile channel than ITV4. I wonder how many viewers the live stages get on BT Sport?

rumours says that M.Prokop will be back at his Fiesta WRC at Rally Mexico.and he will continue at rally Argentina

Pretty tiny viewing figures I imagine. BT are another that has just bought a 'WRC packages' and does little else to promote the sport.

Despite their poor picture quality I still watch Motors TV highlights shows as at least they have decent commentators.

I think Latvala and others should stop thinking all his problems are mental. He should have focused on his driving more than on his mind. I follow closely the rally since 2014, and till now, if we analize his mistakes, or the rallys he didn't shine, we could find out that they are due more to driving errors or bad driving than mindset in my opinion.
