WRC commission sucks.
I don't understand Todt. Of course, I was delighted that his approach was so different from that of his predecessor — the lack of constant outbursts over any motorsport matter under the sun, his quieter 'behind-the-scenes' approach, his definite enthusiasm for the WRC in its more traditional form, and so on. But the fact remains that one can only judge from results, and the WRC has gone further downhill under his stewardship of the FIA. It's a real shame, and I don't know what to make of it.Quote:

Forgive me, but is it possible he's trying to run it down and start again with his 'blueprint'. And does he have other Manufacturers lined up?? It just seems almost bizarre the way the WRC is being run/ or not being run.
However, JT has resurrected a World Championship for Sportscars - so I still think he's in credit, but that's no use to what remains of the WRC fans.
First we had DR now a banker from Finland, (Mahonen) and I did say banker :-)
Well, it might be, if we're into such theories. The trouble is that if it does get run completely down, what will there be to pick up in terms of public and media interest in the sport? Its profile will be shot to bits.Quote:

some times nature saves the sport from these people like a few years back... but most of the time they survive and destroy the sport...
If WRC wants a future it needs to leave the FIA.
when you see things black and white is easier to distinguish the bad from the good...Quote:
