FIA Rally Working Group: the future of WRC and the rally sport

[PLuto]

And how do they do it in ERC where 30+ Rally2 cars is a norm in every round?

There is only 2 min gaps in ERC. And still it is a big problem...

Guys, there was plenty of comments from you here. Maybe now you should add them to the official WRC fan survey? FIA wants to find out what you think of the series:

I think this was discussed and linked in another topic. I think most of us has filled it. But I am not sure if it will help to anyone. But should be curious to see theraw data...

Like I said in the other thread, this was not designed to survey opinions. More like a way to say 'fans agree with what we are doing' when they announce/propose any decisions that they already took, which is why many of the questions held a bias. Some questions, eg. on safety, fans are not qualified to answer. If they can't use the survey because the fans disagree, we will never hear the results. Only a fool would think they would take the advice from fans on shaping the championship.

Hey guys, did anyone here joined in a zoom meeting considering the working group/forces they wanted to do after the survey? Curious if anyone here managed to have his say.

Interesting to see what (if any) updates will be shown from these polls.

In other topics, man these cars are fast and pretty much any time there is a crash -> big one. Luckily in Sweden there is these big snowbanks, but honestly the cornering speeds are getting kinda out of control.

Promotion

In order to leverage promotional opportunities around each event and maximise the WRC’s full potential, the FIA will establish a WRC Promotion Team within the FIA in close collaboration with stakeholders from the WRC Promoter, event organisers and manufacturer teams.
The WRC Promotion Team’s key focus will be to develop a WRC Charter that will define a set of commitments from all stakeholders to promote the WRC to a wider audience against an agreed set of objectives and KPIs.
This coordinated approach will leverage the expertise of each party in order to promote the WRC outside its current fan base as one of the foremost motor sport championships in the world.

This sounds like an extra layer of obligations, which when you have champions exiting the game because of them... hmmm.

KPIs.... lol. Definitely sport!

hmmmmmmmm Interesting point. Now they have to COMPETE and PROMOTE?
I mean, I heard a Msport guy from social media is now with Hyundai, and they had a really great video on youtube after Monte Carlo. DirtFish have also great content in video. We have some decent amount of "content"... The problem would be "how to reach WEC, F1, MotoGP and Nascar fans", IMO. How to TOUCH their little road racing hearts. Cuz these would be target, right? WRC would get nothing by trying to reach Soccer fans... (for example)

Continuation from 'main class 2025' thread for relevancy

DR says tuners will be able to build the 2027 FIA chassis and attach homologated bodywork from the manufacturers.

That aint happening.
