[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

[focus206]

I don't see any difference between this and the one proposed before, it's just as stupid, doesn't matter if the shootout is made of 2, 3 or 10 cars... "not a big change"

[Hartusvuori]

Gundersen method must be mentioned :-)

How on Earth can we rally fans make this not happen?

[AndyRAC]

Did they happen to watch the past weekend? Rally Finland didn't need any gimmicks. Just a battle between drivers going to the final stage. There is nothing essentially wrong with the format of WRC events; they just need their own signature, rather than 10-13 identikit events.

What does need improving is the Promotion by RBMH..... It's still average.

And now RBMH propose their version of shootout... this is getting more and more silly

Well as long as the stakeholders are happy, then who cares about the fans eh?!

they do have a point... the fans all they do is nag about everything before they even see how the changes affect the sport... the stakeholders have their money on the line.

As long as Red Bull have a team in F1 forget about proper coverage.

Maybe so, but you need the fans that have watched through the decline to still be watching to make some money

That Ciesla has no idea.

"...don't increase the complexity and keep it simple."

HE. HAS. NO. IDEA.

"Ciesla admitted the original discussions had brought confusion and disharmony, but said he was happy with what has emerged."

OK so you don't like that idea, what if we made it worse still would that help?

I hope Jean Todt as a possionate WRC fan, having been a former competitor, steps in to get rid of these half-whits that clearly don't know what they're doing and have some vendetta against the very sport they're "promoting".

Todt, during his time in office, has done nothing about anything. I don't expect this to change.

I wouldn't say it's even that good.
