This year in the WRC the competition has been incredible - but although I prefer rallying, the last few WRC seasons have not been as exciting as World RX has been! I agree that World RX has limited potential, but to right (write - mod edit) it off is foolish. Drivers like Ekstrom, Loeb and Solberg are no joke, and any sport they respect is a sport I respect.
Well WRX is only at it's 4th season so far but I disagree that WRX have been that exiting in 2014-2015.
In 2014 Petter had almost no real opposition but it was a bit better in 2015.
IMO, 2016 was the first proper year of WRX. It had 5 different event winners and it was pretty tight finish to the season.
I think WRX will suffer from the same problem that plagues WRC for many years and that is that if you are not in a factory
team (full factory team or a team with manufacturer backing) you probably won't have a chance of winning the title.
I think the more the season progresses, the more it will show that the factory team cars/drivers are those will be most successful.
Outside of them I think Bakkerud are the probably only one who might be able to challenge the factory drivers.
I also don't think anyone have said that the WRX is joke and most certainly no one said that
Loeb, Ekström, Kristoffersson and Solberg are a joke because they are certainly not.
My personal opinion is that WRC is more exiting then WRX, despite Ogier's dominance.
I just don't get the people that have point out how they feel that WRX is boring, doesn't take much skill etc. While WRC is much better. And I don't get the people who have the opposite reaction either. It presents different challenges, it is different kind of competition, and neither are for everyone.
Hoonigan Racing get the most money and support of any teams alongside Audi! Ford have invested a lot into Hoonigan and are getting rather fed up at the lack of results - Block has proven he can't compete at this level, and Bakkerud has already been named Crasherud by the Scandinavian press!
Peugeot get a little less factory support, but still a fair lump due to the Loeb factor. VW is by no means a factory team yet - they have a little bit of support technically, but they fund themselves and the old PSRX team are still in charge there. The whole team deserve a hell of a lot of credit to be leading the team's championship in a brand new car with far less support than their main rivals!
