???
Translation from Czech fans (dont know if we have any Slovakian fans) , it says something about an drug affair connected with rallying???

They say police arested two young guys with a lot of heroine in Poprad. One of them is believed to be a rally driver. Nothing more than he is from Poprad and 25 years old.

If the FIA wants to make the WRC slower and more spectacular why don't they just return to Group B? Or only allow hard compound tires?

Both ways are nonsense. They want WRC to be less expensive at first.

That would be assuming that automotive technology hasn't developed since 1986.

Isn't cutting edge technology expensive and being part of the problem, something they want to get away from? Group B technology is over twenty years old. More power doesn't mean a faster car but it would be a hell of a lot more spectacular. Which is what they clame to want. I don't believe it though. Maybe have a Group N, Group B hybrid (and no i'm not talking about an electric rally car) they could easily be done with 300,000 dollars.
