Wrc Rally China 2016

[Simmi]

Yeah I struggle to see why people are having such a hard time with the WRC going to China. You can say what you want about the country but the car market is undeniable. Mirek is absolutely right it's about marketing. The teams aren't running as a charity.

It's for the same reason I can't understand (as much as I love the event), how anyone can say the WRC 'needs' New Zealand. I'd take 15 works WRC cars and a couple of questionable events over a calendar of classics with no competition any day.

Anyway here's an Autosport article on the China situation: http://www.autosport.com/news/report...ve-rally-china


The only thing I would add against this year's event is that it does seem this rally has probably been rushed in due to press from the likes of Citroen. And that may well have led to some of these funding issues.
