Since Liberty Media bought Dorna (MotoGP), WSBK is in their hands as well.

It's possibly something that Ott has been told to say from the Manufacturer.

On the other side, it's all discussions and potential "safety issues" when we don't even have the full regulations and...

You can't compare how a WRC rally was organized and arranged in the 80s and today. Look at Australia with the "jumps arena" in Bannister North, or the "purposely-built" Monte Lerno. In the USA...

I'm sorry for being that honest, but entries etc are not key factor for hosting a WRC event. The 1 Million euros WRC calendar fee does. All the rest is just chit-chat.

As for the USA event, let's...

Both were above their daily average ratings on the same timeslots.
RAI, for example, during Rally Sardinia got 200k more viewers (in a channel that gets about 400k on average) on all stages...

This is up to the WRC Promoter adjust the price tag for what it offers to broadcasters. On the other side, Broadcasters weights the budget they can gather from advertisers and take their choices.
...

It's 2024, TV broadcasters wants to purchase live content and not highlights to be broadcasted at 11pm CET.

Hopefully for Hyundai there's not another Dieselgate. Situation is quite different tbh for such a comparison...

Finally, finally, FINALLY they understood the WRC Promoter is not doing its job well! Finally someone pointed this issue out!

There's a bunch of marketing tools still unexplored that NEEDS to be...

That's basically the issue. The WRC Promoter's TV distribution architecture is based only on RallyTV-revenues and few highly-produced "World Feed" stages sold to Pay-TV. It's not sustainable in the...

Spot on!!!

That's exactly the reason why I reached my 1250 characters in the final feedback of my survey.

With whatever car you will do the championship, this won't change LITERALLY anything in...

Redesigning chassis components, appendix for suspensions, suspension itself, more elaborated bumpers, more aero sessions to get more speed, new wheels design to get more air and optimize braking, new...

lol, hopefully we continue complaining then

I was doing a social media review of Rallye Monte Carlo and yeah, basically the post that engaged more people than everything else combined was the "fireworks" moment (30" video played more than 10...

As a simple fan I'd totally agree with it, but this is exactly a situation in which a Board wouldn't ever want to deal with. Without the manufacturers, you'd get 60% less marketing and promotion of...

Again, with the budgets the WRC teams have (think about Hyundai's 80M), in less than 2 years you'll be at the start point: almost the same costs. They'll spend them over useless small wings and aero...

It was definitely NOT generated by AI, instead by someone who already took a decision and need a "people's justification" for something they want to announce and ratify.

It was probably made for a more general public and not really for hardcore fans tbh.

Lol I reached the maximum 1024 characters on the last page. Hopefully our POV would help out the WRC being great again as in the past.

This is a joke. If such high-profile personnel wants to get in touch, they would have Domenicali's mobile literally in 5 minutes. lol

It looks like something is going on over the pond, since selling early-morning TV coverage is not really breaking into the American market. Having more events at "their" timezones would drastically...

I was reading some Italian reports about a test rally to be held in Paraguay, which will be observed by FIA and WRC Promoter, in order to be added to the 2025 calendar. Any news about that?

The visibility of Red Bull TV is nothing even closely comparable to the reach you can get on YT. They would have a lot more views on YouTube and get some proper money from ads as well. I really can't...

First event wrap-up: without the "hammers" Rovanpera and old-Ogier, it's just a great battle at the front and it benefits the WRC so much. WRC-2 is once again on fire, fantastic fight for the podium...

I'm having so much fun seeing the whole event, especially since I can follow everything out (thankfully I got 2 days off this weekend!).

Without Rovanpera and with Ogier not pushing as years...
