i wonder if there was a meeting and someone at fia went like: "well, liberty media strategy is to just flood social media 24-7 with brainless stuff and they are going richier and richier by the minute because 'eyeballs' is all sponsors actually cares so.... whaaaat if we start doing the promotion thing ourselves to get even more money?"
wrc is next if that worksLast edited by saco0o; 11th March 2025 at 16:27.

The FIA is probably risking breaching the EU rule of crossing between sporting and commercial that was put in place in the early 2000's, so I guess no one put their hands up to run it and they were left with no option.
When even WRC Promoter give it up, you know it's a bit screwed.....

TBH the World RX is stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment for anyone running it.
With the cars in transition from ICE to EV leading to low Manufacturers interest and a totally dominant champion in Kristoffersen making the driver title battle non-existent. Even hardcore fans have been watching recent seasons out of habit rather than for any real enjoyment.
I dont see any big improvement any time soon whoever is in charge.

They ''literally'' ''announced'' ''new promotor'' ''yesterday''... with FIA take charge of this new task. Their promises are just like government ones. Never realized or are announced very late or too late. So it's silly just to think about that calendar is even close to finish. I think it will be announce by their standards in 2030 for 2025 season. Again FIA taking charge... What could possible go wrong

rallyx round 1 is LIVE now

But they were developed (same like Suzuki R5) with approval of manufacturer. But in the final it didnt went into official homologation as nobody wanted to pay the fee for it...
