For me rallycross is mostly a show. The result is mostly decided by what happens in the first corner, and a lot is based on pure luck. There are too many factors where the driver has no influence on (for example being hit by an idiot or being held up by somebody in front of you). I don't know any proper "sport" where your opponents can accidentally ruin your results so much as in rallycross.
And on the other hand we can say it's very spectacular to watch. I've been to the European rounds in Maasmechelen a few times in the past. And last weekend I watched Mettet online. Also what the promotor is doing is simply great, the live-stream is fantastic. Let's hope Red Bull Media House learns from this, in a positive way...
Spectacular to watch and a show - nothing more. Rallying need balls in every corner in 400 K´s. That´s the difference.

I don't think Thierry has real chances this year, but you mean to tell me that Tanak in 2022, with the most unrealiable car in recent memory and 72 points behind dominating Kalle with tank Yaris,...
Can we please get Oliver in a Yaris Rally1 for Finland please? Been a sensation to watch, really hope he takes this one.
