    Rally Turkey seems to be really harsh for the new generation rally car

    It is pointless to argue whether this event belongs to WRC calendar, the essence lies in the fact, that all top teams knew very well where they are going, so did the drivers and they should ADAPT the cars and driving approach to this kind of a car-breaker event. The mony is there, the knowledge too. Period.

    Nice but You're acting like the event was made only for those 12 works cars but the entry field is not only made of works WRC cars - quite the opposite. I can guarantee that event like this will never be popular among other competitors because there is no pleasure in braking your car without actually racing. Imagine You're a junior R2T competitor. Why should You spend money on an event which is no joy to drive, which will cost you fortune and where there is low chance you'll even finish? After that people will cry that there are always 30-40 cars entered like if it was somewhere in Mexico. Cyprus organizers also found that the car braking stages are not what attracts competitors and instead came with other unique concept.

    I´ll be quiet after this one.

    Technically Ogeir maybe could persuade some WRC2 drivers to step down (e.g. MSport) and gain maybe 8 th? What do we think of that?

    Edit: No. Silly of me. Thinking those thoughts...

    The money is there, the knowledge too But where is the sport? where is the talent of the drivers? where is the performance?
    From the very first day, the cars were so shaken that the rest was predictable. When chance replaced talent, the show replaced the performance. Then, to see these cars, jewels of technology, slaughtered, it saddens me..... But I respect your point of view

    He will prbly catch Kajetanowicz and MSPORT will then for sure drop Evans down so he gets 1 point.
