World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[N.O.T]

I somewhat agree, but I'm guilty myself as I've said that both WRC and F1 is like watching paint dry

WRX is an FIA championship and should have its own section, it's obvious.

Nobody likes you Ken block, go away.

Nawh, you guys are cute. And off topic.

Yes it does, because people some how associate it with rallying, and because of its popularity the promoters / organisers of WRC will look to watering down rallying even more until we have 12 super special stages making up one event. It is not rallying. It is circuit racing.

Some of drivers are great drivers, no doubt, but they've all had their day. It's a bit of a nursing home for the old heros. Solberg had years of disappointment and tears in the WRC, and basically settled for 2nd best. Loeb ran away from the WRC before he was shown up by Ogier.

On what basis do you say that the 'popularity' of WRX will lead to dumbing down of WRC?
What metrics are you using for WRX? I would say that it's a long way from being popular. It's still 'new', but it's not popular. It's hidden away on one of the most obscure and irrelevant TV stations, and even Autosport barely covers it!

It's not about talking down WRX, I simple stated that it should not be in the WRC forum and show have it's own section, most appropriately under circuit racing.

I wonder if Nico Rosberg will be in WRX next year?

I wonder if Nico Rosberg will be in WRX next year?

I doubt he'll be anywhere but home, honestly. Maybe in 2018.

WRC is like watching paint dry?
Wait.... Hold on a minute... Can you explain me exactly HOW? Cuz this is pretty much the most nonsense thing I've ever read on the internet

A French guy named Sebastian has won everything for the past 12 years. Hardly three manufacturers, about four drivers with some level of skill. This Seb dude usually wins by minutes. Talented drivers have to pay to get a car. And after spending millions they still get a crap car and even in a top car internal team orders and other shit takes the real competition out of it.

I used to follow every second of every WRC round, but a few years ago I just gave up. It isn't going to change. If it does I'm happy to return, but for now I'd rather watch paint dry.

[N.O.T]

you were never talented ken.

[Alpha]

Yeah, that was one of the few fun things about the WRC before I gave up, seeing guys like Kimi and Block get schooled.
