Managed to go back and watch the interview with Budar on AllLive. Good to see Porter pressing him on next year's plans. No harm in a few difficult questions to team managers every now and then.
I hope Citroen don't back themselves into a corner again though. They've said they want a driver who can win any rally on any surface and challenge for the championship, so at the moment that is only Neuville, Ogier & Tanak. But Ott is under contract so not available. Only other option could be Lappi but that's putting faith in potential more than what he can definitely deliver now and next season. I still don't see Ogier, Neuville (or even Lappi) going there. They basically need to offer the biggest contract in wrc history to attract Seb or Thierry, and even then it probably won't be enough - unless Seb feels he has unfinished business at Citroen or wants to go back to a manufacturer (and French) team.

Hybrids were the fault of the green agenda, not because anybody in rally wanted it. Paris Agreement was signed in 2016, Todt's WEF luvvy Calderon barged in to a climate position at the broke FIA,...
I have WRC+ since inception on a yearly plan. Next year I will go back to monthly since I do not know if I want to spend that kind of money to watch Rally2 and Rally2 equivalent cars driving around....
Wholeheartedly agree, and it would be hard retaining people even, as there won't be any live product to watch if it got to this point anyway. Only hardcore rallyists are paying £13/month to watch...
I appreciate his oppinion. Mine is that no one will watch WRC when the cars are boring (like Rally2). Rally is one of many types of entertainment and they all compete with each other. Good luck...
I read this here and then watched Maximum Attack where the 17 cars are the cause of what's wrong with rallying today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1Ful9HnPkQ
