"North One Sport is still working on finding a new investor to take over from CSI. The FIA is believed to have imposed a timetable for this to happen - but the most important date looming is the opening round of the 2012 season: the Monte Carlo Rally, which is just over four weeks away."

Eurosport I hope.

We should all contact the bbc stating why we think they should bring WRC back. With formula 1 coverage reduced maybe they could use WRC to fill the gap. This would also mean people like jake humphrey doing something and the tax payer seeing some sort of return. As seen with F1 coverage audiences have gone up. This would make WRC a more viable option for sponsors. We have 3 weeks at the most for something to be done. We could start a petition to show the bbc that people want it back on a major channel it will im sure also cost less than F1 (any one know how much espn paid). The bbc can be contacted here for those who want to contact the bbc directly https://faq.external.bbc.co.uk/templ...duleID=contact. Any one done a online petition before?

Or to Mark Thompson director general of the bbc mark.thompson@bbc.co.uk

Not a bad idea, maybe worthy of a new topic? If anyone has ever done this(surely someone on the forum must have) then...who knows...Saying that, the BBC have shown what they think about motorsport by getting rid of half of the F1 races.
