2007 Colin McRae Rally World Championship

I was suggesting the Focus due the shape similarity, after some testing I can "certify" now that the SEAT is really the fastest car in the game but not with a big gap, surely a midfield driver is not gonna be an up-front driver from one day to another with a SEAT but between equal drivers it can make a difference.
Now we really don't know if the real-life C4 is gonna be a kick ass car like the Xsara was.
But please keep discussing, so far it goes 2 votes for the Focus and 1 for the Cordoba, a final desicion will be made on Wednesday.
About the calendar, I'm adding Sweden(M) for day 3 with wet tarmac tyres, any other suggestions are welcomed, final calendar will also be published next Wednesday

I will also be racing in 2007, I just haven't figured out if I'm to apply for a factory seat or do another year as privateer.

I noticed that several people simply forgot about the races during the '06 season, would it be possible to have some sort of email reminder sent out to the members of http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/cmr2wc/??

excellent idea, just done it!

Hi!

I think, it doesent make any sense to run a factory championship for 6 person.
I agree with Javier, C4 skin should be use on the focus. The new C4 is a pig in a poke until a few rallys, and in addition the new c4 is much longer than the xsara.

I've had a call from the Ford factory yesterday. They have asked me if Iwanted to try the Factory Focus before the 2007 season, so I may be a Factory driver after all..

Entries are way too low right now, from experience from other years we'll probably end up with only 3 players at the end of the year. maybe we could run a shorter calendar and the championship will only last til June, any thoughts regarding this idea?

i'm cool with this idea..

could also run 2 day rallies using novice and expert stages....

I like the 2 day rallies, but with a full season.
Where is the other drivers?
Do the other drivers race in other championship with CMR5 or WRC4-5?

I'm still in discussions as yet.

Not certain whether i'll be in a Citroen or a Ford this year yet.

The shorter calendar sounds like a cool idea as I never had the chance to follow the real calendar last year - missed a few rounds and then had major pc issues.

No reigning champion as yet either. I notice.
