I think that sort of thing is always deeply naff and contrived. It belongs in the past — a tacky version of 'glamour'.Quote:

What Eurosport show is the only future of WRC sport.. It's shame that Eurosport doesn't have rights to promote WRC..
Well, IF Michael Schumacher is back in F1 in 2010 like strongest latest rumours stated it, I predict a very hard and one of the poorest mediatization for WRC ever, especially when FIA scheduled 9 events of F1 the same week-end of rally !!!! :mad: :mad: ;(
A particularly ridiculous situation. How on earth is that helping an already struggling series?Quote:

So the poor old WRC get to play second fiddle to the F1 as far as TV highlights go...great.
Now its not going to be 11pm on TV but more like 1am....crap....
Perhaps an idea could be to let the rallies select what days they want to run on (rather than mandate they finish on a Sunday)? Can't be any worse than clashing with 9 of the F1 rounds can it?
For instance Rally Australia used to start on Saturday and finish on Tuesday
A lot of rounds used to run mid week, but following the wish to standardise, and follow F1, it became Fri-Sun.Quote:

So, yes, it would be much worse for me if WRC events would move away from weekends.
