Well said, Ive heard about what went on today, bloody shocking to say the least. We should have a poll, "should Todt stay or go" and see if the results of the poll are unanimous.
If you ask me, Jean Todt is a t1t and should be kicked out immediatly.
I consult N.O.T to create some new swear words for me to use in place of Jean Toddlers name....

Bad news from the talks
The FIA has admitted to event organisers there's been no successful outcome to its talks with Eurosport Events to take on the global promotion of the World Rally Championship, and they will have to make their own arrangements for television coverage.
More as we get it.

Who are these others interested in the deal?

Dont hurry to judge before the case is clarified. There's a rumour that Eurosport wanted to take all the authority over the arrangement of the calendar, especially dropping traditional events for a fistful of dollars more from India Brazil Bangladesh etc. while FIA didnt agree and decided to protect the sport. Lets wait and see, long-term plans are more important than missing footage from few events.

Really? Todt was saying pretty much the opposite recently.

Stage One technology has a deal to Rally Sweden. At least the times and split times will be available. Unless the deal is also broken...

Eurosport tried to play hard because knew that FIA had urgency in a deal, but it seems that Todt decided to give a lesson to Loti.

Only the future will tell if it is the best option

not "pretty much the opposite" ! many things were said recently but from both different sides! JT is looking to the future while promoters think only for the biggest profit for coupla years

This is disaster, first no Eurosport deal, then no works mini, horror.

I’m not a Todt fan, but it seems totally unfair to blame him on this WRC promoter mess.

Firstly it was Mr. Mosley that strangely decided, two years ago, to extend ISC unproductive partnership, frustrating Eurosport will to revitalize WRC, after their proven success on IRC.

After this controversial choice, NOS, ISC new owner, has failed to accomplished their job and get insolvent as we all know, putting WRC and the FIA in a delicate situation, leaving no option to break up NOS contract.

Now there are some UE laws that difficult FIA task to endorse WRC promotion to new entities, not allowing a global tv coverage.

Of course we all want FIA to speedily sort a B plan in order to get WRC worldwide covered, but blaming those who aren’t responsible for this crisis won’t surely benefit the sport.
