First of all, not to be greedy. When searching for a promoter, please study and investigate the backrounds of volunteers if they really are cabable of managing the job their given and NOT accept them with a first sight of cash. Now FIA is in a situation of panic and they have find anyone to fill promoting. Also, I wouldn't mind they would actually take the responsibility of their f**k ups... krhm, actions.

FIA is full of money, why won't they take over the finance of televising as long as they find a proper promoter. When Mr. Todt was elected, I was happy about it. I'm not so happy anymore. It's either he is not interested of WRC's well-being or he doesn't have any voice in FIA. Either way, WRC suffers bad

FIA sees the WRC as a problem, not motorsport.
There was an interview with one of the protesters sounded like the situation is a more extreme version of other tourist places where the long time locals get forced out by the increase in costs of...
