Group N cars are boring both in sound and on the road FACT
OH also I am a true rally fan!!!
Dear ste898, what is or isn't spectacular, is very subjective. Someone even likes diesels on rally (yes, I know some of those).
Therefore what is or isn't spectacular can't be called fact at all.
I would rather see group N car driven by the likes of Hanninen, Mark Higgins, Guy Wilks, Flodin, Ketoma etc than some WRC 'driven' to victory on a British gravel rally. See some of the commitment in Finland in Group N. Ste 898 I will not name the people in UK with WRC cars, but generally they are hobby rally drivers, (who can afford to 'win') I agree Group N sounds bad and will miss Andy Burtons car when that is banned.Quote:

So the drivers can be slow and sideways, or fast and unspectacular. If I were a rally driver, I know what I'd choose.
I haven't noticed that top pwrc crews would use more sideways than for instance what Loeb or Grönholm have done. Top-wrc drivers uses sliding in different extents - depending on set-up and the event. But every driver slides the car when they turn into the curve.Quote:
