[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

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.

There is no QS run this year, just 2 mandatory passes for FP

Just remove that whole QS system, definately for tarmac..

QS can be a good media product if it's rightly used. As it's not, it's uninteresting for rally.

it sounds awful. like a diesel on 3 cilinders.

[Eli]

let's hope the R5 will sound better

[almostracing]

thought this might interest those who are competing in rally. Nothing to buy, just email them.
