However, being a rallyfan since the 60´s for sure there has been dirty tricks.
But - today we find it done openly and more aggresive than I ever seen before. And that development is not good. Also ruins the spirit of sportmanship I always thought rallying was.
Remember like father like sons, meaning cheating and dodging might become even more aggresive on National basis, affecting the group of amateur drivers still wanting to follow the rules...
I don´t know. Maybe a bit naive.
You're not alone. Such things also lower the value of the rallies they enter, in terms of the "real competition".

This is a gross twisting of reality. On very long straights, the cars from last year might go slightly faster, but the acceleration curve of the new cars and initial speed advantage gets them down...
Me thinks there's better chance to see Tanak building a RedGrey WRC27 then even driving a RedGrey WRC27 over driving for anybody else.
Maybe odd events but can't see Rovanpera doing full seasons...
I've been hearing this story of Hyundai leaving for like the last 6 years and they're still there. A lot of people take their wishes for granted.
