It could even be Dovizioso. He's done the rally show before, and the MotoGP season is over before the Monza rally.

it doesnt look good for anything...i would stop the season, hand the title to Evans and concentrate on next season.
IMO the promoter and FIA totally missed the right window in summer period where the numbers were low, it should have started earlier than in september, like Ogier and Makinen also said to dirtfish.
its the end of October and we have had only 3 rallies, now a huge gap between Ypres and Sardegna, i dont get it why.
sorry for the outburst and i know with rally the things arent so easy to manage but im just a huge hardcore fan and disappointed.#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

Have to agree. The Promoter and/or FiA handled it poorly. The last major motorsport series to return, and by a long way. Add that to being invisible during the lockdown when other series were active with various activities.
I accept things are difficult, it's affected everybody - and you can't organise an event at the drop of a hat, but it really has shown them up.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Yep - well said Est and Andy. Unfortunately, their handling of the championship this year seems to go hand in hand with a lot of the decisions (or lack of) that are being made at the top.

Liepaja was attempted to make into a WRC event but it didn’t work out, I guess it was their best shot. You don’t really put up a WRC event from nowhere in a couple of weeks.

+1. It's very easy to judge if you don't know how much work goes into it organizing an event or championship. Not even talking about the extra challenges they're facing these times.

M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
