I doubt it will be the only rally this year to refuse paying 300 000 for Koepcky and Breen

lol, Kopecký would not be in San Marino anyway. Where is Your values come from? Maybe some events pay that much but definitely not all.Quote:

The strongest events are yet to come...
Besides, the extra entries and higher profile will also bring more fans to the stages, more team personnel and other staff to stay in the local area. Eurosport TV coverage and additional press coverage give extra potential for event sponsors and extra publicity to the region. 300,000 Euros (if the figure is true) really isn't very much in the big scheme of things.
Anyway, it is not very sensible to held two events of the same series in the same country. And while the economy of the country is not in its best state.
I agree with that but on the other hand the event organizers are free to negotiate with the promoter so such cases may happen.
If Kopecky wins the title this year, would Skoda/VW ever consider putting him in WRC/WRC2?
Sure not. WRC is playground of VW and that's why Wiegand is in WRC2. Besides that I don't find WRC2 to be a place for Škoda. No media presentation, no marketing value for manufacturer to finish 10th overall...
Breen is being massively overhyped now at fiaerc.com - 3 news features about him out of the last 8. Is this necessary?
Of course not. But you know what the media world looks like today. It's full of people who think that writing the same thing multiple times is more important than writing one really good article. As a result, you, as a reader, have to click three pieces of news. Unfortunately, after reading them you realize that you learned nothing. But the media owner will be happy, because you clicked his s/hitty website three times.Quote:

+1 (for when one "Like" is not enough)Quote:
