With respect, who wants to see an FIA World championship that is mainly about 'gentleman drivers'? We want to see the best drivers competing against each other and preferably with a high level of competition rather than someone walking their way to the title. Not some drinks magnate who's bought himself an expensive rally car.

WRC needs manufacturers otherwise where are the cars going to come from? The problem at the moment is we don't have everyone involved pulling in the same direction. Namely Jost Capito's insane idea to change the basic concept of what rallying should be and a promotor that seems to have had zero tangible influence on the championship in just over a year.
