"In an effort to boost entries on events outside Europe, for 2015 nationally homologated cars will be permitted to participate in non-European events, without the eligibility to score Power Stage or championship points."

That looks like a sensible move.

Common sense at last - for now. What is the next mad cap idea Capito, Ciesla & RedBull will come up with??? Any ideas??

Fortunately, it seems as if Todt is going to have a more hands on role in the WRC future.

Kubica has so far picked up only 14 points.
I do not destroy anything. It's just a fact.

He won more stages than Evans, Sordo and as many as Neuville this season in worst WRC car. It's just a fact.

he has crashed more than evans, sordo and neuville combined.

rallying is not about being the fastest on a few stages.

Thank f*** for that!

They still need to get rid of Ciesla and WRC Promoter (unfortunately they are powerless to get rid of Capito) & get a promoter in that will PROMOTE the championship, not try to alter the way the sport works, & has worked for many decades.

Judging for one season is too soon. Kubica will progress. That´s for sure. Let´s talk next year this time. He has all qualitys to be a top five guy in WRC.

According to this article: http://www.rallye-magazin.de/rallyes...mmt/index.html, there will be almost no changes to WRC format. There will be no shoot-out (luckily), no points at end of each day, only starting order will be changed. If i understand it right, championship leader will be first on the road on friday and saterday, whilst on sunday it will be reversed order. Seems Jost has lost his fight for shootout.
