Archive a copy of it for the history and one day it will make a bestseller.
We'll need an editor though. And someone to get all the bits and peaces assembled together.
Patented! :burnout:
Anyway, it was just another idea,
but I'm pretty sure that it's a matter
of time for someone to steal my thunder.
I have been in that position. My choice was to not worry about Worlds Champignonskit, it is only about glory and i was not that good. My choice was to do events which paid good start money---and for me, were BIG ADVENTURES....Quote:

To create a longer rally to have 3 stages per day is a strange option. Would be better a day less and two mores stages per day IMO.
Yes I am puzzled about the shortness of SS done in "whole days", but it seems staying up past 10 is at night is asking too much of these "Super stars"..
Only God knows how much damage I must have done driving stages until after sun up in years past....it probably damaged my poor brain because now when I'm older I can't understand a lot of things today....like the Monte's format and low entries...
But I do know in all WRC events, in the same time period that they have become shorter and shorter, and the cars completely divorced from anything anybody, even big enthusiasts drive, and the adventure aspect decreased, so has entries crashed to fractions of what we saw in the 60s and 70s and even the 80s
Of course correlation is not causation and there are other factors at work---all the talk of how much rally needs instnt TV makes me also wonder how they had 350 cars entering in the 60s and 70s when there wasn't instant TV.

Last night at 10:00pm I was flicking through the telly listings and I saw the WRC on Eurosport. Imagine my delight. Not been able to post on here or show any interest since Dave lost the WRC to ESPN. Now I can kind of get back into it.Quote:

Hardly any coverage of cars on the edge of the top 10 - Andersson's Proton still in top 10, Abbring etc.
No real story about the challenge of the day, no in-depth pieces with team chiefs etc.
Poor interviews, rubbish simulcam as it was on a piece of road that was totally unrepresentative of the major part of the stage.
At least the TV program started on time!!
Poor, poor, poor......
Well I liked two things.. 1) my favourite commentator. 2)When they were making conclusions about what happened beforehand, they corrected mistakes like Otto Tanak etc. But yeah, unfortunately they didnt had enough footage from the stages.. Maybe we can see some of those today?
Some news regarding Kuipers:
Kuipers nog niet aan start bij WK-rally's | Auto/motorsport/Autosport | TC Tubantia Sport
He is negotioting with with a major sponsor. If that fails, he won't be in WRC this season. He sais it's about 50/50. Mexico and Argentina would be the first two rounds, the rest in Europe.
Sunny and Dry at the Col.
New spolier for Evgeny :D

Like NOS would have shown Andersson or Abbring....Quote:

If so, which channel?
Not live. Highlights will be on this evening on Eurosport and Motors TV.Quote:

Yes, but Loeb was the first one to arrive and he was faster than the old stage record from recent years.Quote:
