Nasser is also contracted to Red Bull so it'll be a sponsorship alignment as well as the whole percentage of VW with Qatar

I agree with Wilson that it's daft not to use the current generation cars. I also don't see how it screws over R5 at all - given the cars run in a different class and are aimed at different people.

Surely it's just common sense to allow current WRCars into the 2017 top class? I'm sure there is a solution so that they can remain relatively competitive.

I don't know if it's the filming, places or what but to me this seems like nearly a complete waste, you have nearly no chance of seeing the improved performance. Maybe they need to do something with the sound, the Polo doesn't give me the buzz in these testing video's anyway.

if current wrc doesn't give You the buzz, 2017 won't do it either. Even supercars in rallyx aren't exciting enough.

All they needed to do was make them louder and more sideways.

[AndyRAC]

I just suggests that those in charge aren't sure what they are doing - and they haven't thought everything out. But, I suppose we've come to expect that from them.

They don't know how to put right onboard camera angle to attract the audience so how to expect more?! But it could be good if more drivers start to win next year...

You can't make them louder. Please don't forget that rallying uses normal public roads in the nature, in villages etc. For that reason there are noise regulations which have to be followed. We are not the only people or animals around the stages and it doesn't help anything to behave like an arrogant noisy louts who care only about their sport and not giving a f.u.c.k. about anything and anyone else.

Regarding driving sideways. They actually did the exact apposite which is hard to understand when current cars are near pefect in this matter. I would personally further reduced the aero package but I'm not the one who decides...
