    I would rather see 10 Al-Qassimis in 2017 machinery, than 20 Rovenperas (as good as he is) in an almost silent R5, any day of the week.

    WRC is also quite quiet, when driven 30%... not to mention speed and action.

    It's also sad to see such a waste of resource.

    Do you mind me asking - the guys that replied to me above (Barrels / StefanVV / Tarmop / Allez Andruet) - have you all seen both 2017/18 WRC cars and R5 live on a stage?

    No, I don't mind at all. To give you a short answer: yes, I have.

    Fortunately I've been lucky enough to have witnessed all the noteworthy rally cars from the late 80's onwards. Even the group B monsters, although not on a rally stage, but in rallycross and in what we call rallysprint here in Finland.

    I've seen plenty of rally cars last 30+ years. I can assure You the car doesn't drive itself, it's the driver who makes the difference, no matter what class it's in.

    I was going to ask the same of you to be honest. Are you mainly just spectating on straights or hairpins? I've seen Al-Qassimi on Rally GB last year and Rally Finland this year. On GB he appeared a bit 'meh', with the stop start nature you still get something out of the acceleration of the car, but in Finland he looked particularly uninteresting compared to many of the R5s, it was very apparent that he was just cruising with very little commitment being shown.
