If you make the championship open only to those who are in the elite driving skill group who have the financial backing also, there would be about 6 drivers involved.

Yes I'd love to see 20 quaility drivers in an array of cars, but that's not going to happen and the reality is that plenty of people have lots of money, but not many with the ability to pass the 'N.O.T. WRC Entry Test', so to find someone with both is going to be extremely rare.

once again and for the millionth time....

I have no problem seeing Nobres in WRC rallies...i wish we had 150 entries full of nobres...but NOT IN A WRC car...

The top cars should be driven by top drivers ONLY...

If Nobre loves rallying he can drive s2000s grp N ects ects

Yes, I see your point but like I said, we'd have about 6 drivers plus even more boring Group N's if it was done your way. I'd much rather see a slow driver in a WRC than a Grp N (they are boring enough as they are!)

Expecting that Latvala will go off 2/3 more times this season, in Portugal as earlier.

he is right,you need huge amounts of water to keep dust on ground,and there will be a big difference in road between 1st and 10th or 17th pass.
