WRC VS X Games

[surfevo]

So I was reading an interview with Tanner Foust here: http://autoeclectic.com/august article starts on page 10.

He talks about this year's X Games rally and how it was running 4 cars wheel to wheel. He also talks about rally cross and forest rally. So the question came to mind:

What is the most exciting form of rally to watch X Games, rally cross, or forest/stage style rallying?

I personally liked the X Games format, kind of a British Touring car meets Moto style action. Check out the article and post your thoughts.

X Games is nothing compared to forest rallying, especially WRC, IRC..

I am no big fan of rallycross, neither am I a fan of X-Games. Although it offers a lot of 'excitement' it has almost nothing to do with the endurance aspect of rallying. Ok, that aspect if not anymore what it was, but at least there is still some.

Sum up all the excitement you have over 2-3 days of rallying and compare that to a 2-minute finale of rallycross (or X-Games?). I know what to pick!

rally-cross, X games and the various show stuff, have more things in common with Touring car racing and with the F1 than with rallying....

Forest/stage style any day for me

X-Games is just like a SSS from a rally isn't it?

[N.O.T]

i think it has some stages as well but the main part is held in the stadium...never bothered to check to be honest.

You can't compare WRC to X Games. HAHA!

But there is a few SSS's in WRC rounds... That is all.

However, X Games is a good tool to be using in the USA for rallying. Live television broadcast, lots of action, sideways cars, all in a stadium. It is great for gaining new fans and making the cars really accessible to those in the city. So X-Games style has its place, and with any hope, if USA get a WRC round, they can have a super special like the previous years X Games circuit.

However, X-Games will never be good as special stage rallying, X Games is a bit of a giggle, and can definitely work in raising the profile of rallying in USA.
