It would be shitty to go watch a rally live and see only 10 cars

But if they removed WRC2 Rally Mexico would only have 18 competitors...

Who knows, if they’d primarily focus on the top category the next time we’d visit Mexico it would might bare fruits.

People complain that there is too few factory drivers/teams and you want to kick out even the ones who are still there? :)

People watch 20 cars in F1 & let’s be honest, only 10 of them are actually of interest to anyone & I’m sugar coating it.

When it’s Loeb & Ogier; yes, or bring them back full time, you think the’d still complain? (if we’d manage to bring them back)

Its easy for FIA to discourage part time gigs without banning them. Make teams register 3 drivers for manufacturer points for the whole season

You're looking at the solution from the wrong side. Instead of banning or punishing talent maybe you should think of a way to get more better young drivers so that pensioners can't come in and dominate so easily.

So no WRC2 cars showing on SS16? Shame on you WRC+ All Live, whatever you call yourself!!!

This isn´t all live... right?

Yes but in f1 you see those cars pass your corner 50 times. I WRC you see them once. Who would climb rocks to see 10 cars

Rally records should also show if a driver was doing a full Championship or not. There's no pressure if you're not so a win isn't really as hard.
