How long before wrc introduces a drifting power stage. Points for style/ angle, closeness to the walls etc? That Colwyn sss is more like Gymkhana/ autokhana etc RAC Zero Cup tests rally uk 2018 - https://youtu.be/3Xl4U8oXdY0

Spectator stages have always happened, but now they are less and less like the sport they are supposed to promote.

Who comes up with these SSS? Do they ask the drivers anything before coming up with such shite. Who thinks doing multiple donuts is cool as an actual competition? There's enough lame Ken Block videos on YouTube to entice people into that ....

did you read the article at all ?
and it never bodes well when FIA has one opinion and the teams another, and for me it doesnt seem they are afraid, what can they be afraid of when they dont exactly know whats coming and how?Last edited by EstWRC; 8th May 2019 at 15:31.

I think only Citroen is 100% in favour of hybrids.

Actually, last year manus were still undecided about the degree of electrification they wanted for the WRC and VW was still pushing for full EV’s (a totally unrealistic option knowing how hard and expensive it’d be). Apparently, only at the start of this season there was a general agreement on hybrids use: https://www.motorsport.com/wrc/news/...-todt/4332167/
Taking some time to decide what hybrid system the WRC cars will have is not a waste. Matton said recently the FIA wants to avoid making a disruption into the series, suggesting they’ll use affordable and easy to implement mild hybrids (additional to current engines); that sounds quite reasonable, especially having in mind the recent WRX electric flop or WEC manus desertion through the high tech hybrid years.
Btw, the timeline Matton mentioned is pretty close to the one the IMSA is also planning for their series hybrid transition and no one seems to be complaining there: https://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/i...n-for-dpi-2-0/Rally addict since 1982
