Not enough. RX? Kidding?

Nope nothing at all has changed. Same reasons they pulled out still apply. Only thing now is, in theory, a larger percentage chance of a title if M-Sport can lock down Ogier.
I think they are very happy in WRX and the way that sport is developing*.
*actually being promoted.
Come on Andy, WEC doesn’t cover anything, because it’s all about one race (LM) and they’re competing for the 3rd category win; IMSA is a 2nd level series in the US; WRX or GRX are overvalued by rally fans, as they’re nothing more than niche competitions. Besides NASCAR (mandatory for US manus), honestly I don’t see Ford covering properly their motorsport bases.
For sure we all feel that WRC should be promoted in a more effective way, but if we remain overcritical about that we won’t be able to see any positive development. ’17 cars may not be the ultimate answer to WRC problems, but they seem to be a promising tool to help fixing those problems. We just need to be a bit more optimistic…and keep fingers crossed!
The first may be a subjective view, the second is factual: LM GTE cames after LMP1 and LMP2.
There are only 2 categories in WEC - LMP & GT. But this is rally forum anyway.
Do You make difference between category and class? GT category is in totally different race. But this is rally forum anyway.....
I very much hope this comes to fruition...
