What criticism is he talking about? I don't know about any driver/team who criticized the shootouts, journalists?

[Bruce D]

Probably people who have just told him straight to his face that he is an idiot. I don't understand why he even got into rallying if he wants to change all the fundamentals completely.

[skarderud]

Maybe he reads this forum?

I personally feel FIA should make rally format similar to rallies in 1980's along with adoption of same styled service as, that will bring fans much closer to the sport.

FIA should add more competitive kilometers instead of road section kilometers.

Would be great to be even closer to the sport. On the other hand, in Sardenga we went to the remote service in Bodusso, getting much closer whit teams/drivers/mechanics would mean that you are a member of a team i think. Standing next to Solberg, Gilsoul, talking to Bouffier, and hearing what Neuville has to say about the problem on his car, great moment that rally.

For 2015, P1/2 drivers will do min 3 passages at Shakedown "to provide greater media and promotional opportunities." #WRC

Let's hope they do that too in the ERC, because QS on Ypres, was boring as hell!

They did three runs in Ypres as well. The problem of QS is that they are NOT allowed to do more SD runs after QS.

[mousti]

I think that's what meant 3 runs in actual SD afterwards. Because in WRC they do already 2 FP runs and 1 QS run like in ERC.
