Some guys just have to have different opinions that's all. Great entry list and I hope it to be a great event. Although not to prone to crashes and mechanical problems, having a close battle for the title will be great

Well entry list is very good
but
All those "stars" who were driving Monza 2018/2019 with WRC are "chickening"
so for me WRC is just normal (11 cars)
WRC2 only 4
WRC3 only 13
JWRC only 6 (Rally Sweden had 16)
so it´s not that great
R-GT entries are big +
Privateers with Rally2/R5 also +"quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"

As you said as a "rally show". Now with the proper stages on Saturday and the quite different stages also on the monza racetrack area it has not much to do with the old "show" event. Only the "Grand Prix" stage can be compared to previous years. It's a proper rally now.

For what? Mainstream media attention? Rossi has not the star power he once had (some of my friends didn't even know that he was still in MotoGP) and Kubica, although I think it would be fast, it would cost money to the team. Don't forget that his car must be adapted and take in mind that he didn't bring more audiences or anything to DTM this year. If you want mainstream media attention, you either bring a footballer (and a big name) or a movie star (Patrick Dempsey or Fassbender comes to my mind as they like racing).
I would rather see this as an opportunity for WRC Teams to test new guns like Solberg Jr. or Huttunen in a WRC car.

Sorry mate, even with all the changes there's no way it can be seen as a proper WRC rally (69% of the stages, coresponding to 52% of the kms, are run on/around a racing circuit).
Don't take me wrong, ACI efforts to provide an alternative season finale on such a difficult time must be praised, but we can't forget that Monza is in the series mainly because the FIA and the promoter ruined the chances of running seven proper WRC rallys in due time.Rally addict since 1982

ACI must be praised indeed, they seem to put a lot of effort to make this happen. I think it's alright to have Monza in the calendar being the year that it is, it's just very disappointing that it's round 7 of 7 of a world rally championship... added with the fact that Evans just needs to cruise to win the title, I really can't feel the excitement for this.

i dont know why, but with each day the rally coming to closer and closer....
the more i have a feeling that Ogier will snatch the title, i dont wish or want it but i just have this feeling.
we will see in a week if my feeling was right or wrong.#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8
