Even if there are some top names from other motorsport series, it's very disappointing not having Rossi or Kubica on the entry list. Btw, Gronholm was already there last year.
Kubica couldn't make it, 'cause he has to be in Bahrain F1..
It's not disappointing. Kubica said it clearly he can't be in Italy at that time.Quote:

I am also a bit disappointed tbh.
- no extra WRC appart from Veiby
- missing Loubet and Breen in R5s
Some guys just have to have different opinions that's all. Great entry list and I hope it to be a great event. Although not to prone to crashes and mechanical problems, having a close battle for the title will be great
Well entry list is very good
but
All those "stars" who were driving Monza 2018/2019 with WRC are "chickening"
so for me WRC is just normal (11 cars)
WRC2 only 4
WRC3 only 13
JWRC only 6 (Rally Sweden had 16)
so it´s not that great
R-GT entries are big +
Privateers with Rally2/R5 also +
Nope, this isn't about having different opinions but rather to state the obvious. Monza has always provide great entry lists as a rally show and no one can denny that Rossi or Kubica would bring more viewers from other motorsport series.Quote:

Don't forget that his car must be adapted and take in mind that he didn't bring more audiences or anything to DTM this year. If you want mainstream media attention, you either bring a footballer (and a big name) or a movie star (Patrick Dempsey or Fassbender comes to my mind as they like racing).Quote:

Sorry mate, even with all the changes there's no way it can be seen as a proper WRC rally (69% of the stages, coresponding to 52% of the kms, are run on/around a racing circuit).Quote:

But changed enough to not have "guest" playing around, cause outside track will be difficult and risky. Definitely not a show anymore. (for sure even not a proper rally, but closer)Quote:

ACI must be praised indeed, they seem to put a lot of effort to make this happen. I think it's alright to have Monza in the calendar being the year that it is, it's just very disappointing that it's round 7 of 7 of a world rally championship... added with the fact that Evans just needs to cruise to win the title, I really can't feel the excitement for this.Quote:

we will see in a week if my feeling was right or wrong.
Yep, no doubt it evolved from a show into a mix circuit/road event. Some national events have run like that in the past but it's a first for the WRC and, like it was already pointed, that's Monza main problem: the risk of circuit based events to become the new normal in the WRC, even after the pandemic.Quote:

30 of 95 entries are Fabia R5, lol.
yep. just saying that's the reason why the occasional VIP driver didn't show up.Quote:
