In any case i dont find any interest about gt cars at rallies for many reasons.

Of course I know that. I like them because they are very spectacular for the people. In most of typical spectator places R5 cars are boring (Fiesta especially). GTs are loud with bad traction, people like that. Of course in high speed sections they are not so nice to watch like S2000 for example but that's life. Something is good somewhere, something else elsewhere. I always like the variety and I'm absolutely sure that even though GTs would be quite slow and dangerous for Czech roads everybody here would welcome them just like always when they came to Rally Lužické Hory (Lausitz Cup wih Germans). They never did any good result but they always entertained the crowd.

Besides that don't forget that the cars currently running in Alsace are restricted with less power than stock ones...

In my view VW made a big mistake in overlooking his potential, but then, they were desperate for Wiegand to succeed to the exclusion of common sense.

Actually Weijs did the same. Remember his crazy driving with old Golf III Kit Car?

Excellent work again by Evans this morning with a 4th best time (after the VWs) and two 6th best, very close to Meeke and beating other tarmac aces, Sordo & Neuville. Promising for 2015.
