[WRC] News & rumours (part IV) 2016

Rally Australia gets support from Council for 2016/17 in Coffs.

State Government has Supported it.

Local City/Town were the problem before but now they're all GOOD.

Shame, they all knew NZ were going to Pounce!!!!

[COD]

so the solution is to make cars slower, reducing corner speed, making them look like everyday cages rather than machines of war and other useless crap like that...

and instead of the sweeper to lose 10seconds in 20kms he would lose 7... because no matter the grip levels when a tyre meets a peeble that can roll.... it will spin...

go away and take Latvala with you.

I'm no fan of Latvala, so you can have him. Better that any driver you have produced ever, even with all his mistekes.

Yes, make cars slower in corners. More power, less grip. This will unfortunately happen anyway in next few years, because we will have a Toivonen tragedy all over again soon, because of the ridicoulous corner speeds the cars of 2017 will have.

Not all of us learned French at school, show off...

And it even isn't correct
Should be "acier"

A return to single tyre supplier with a rock-hard, single choice like the not so long ago Pirelli era would solve many problems...

there you go... i am a gracious god.

1.Ogier
2.Mikkelsen
3.Paddon
4.Sordo (maybe)
5.Tanak (tanak in a strong team where he does not have to overdrive to achieve results, if he crashes again all the time kick)
6.Lukyanuk (test for 2 years)
7.Breen (test for 2 years)
8.Lappi (test for 2 years)
9.Meeke (one last chance then kick)
10.Neuville (one last chance then kick to outer space in a galaxy far far away so we never have to deal with his hideous trendy glasses)
11.Abbring (test for 1 year then kick)
12.Bergvist (test for long term 3-4 years just so rallyper does not send ninjas against me)
13.Parn (long term plan 3-4 years)

I must say I have enjoyed it.
But I think that, following your "kick" policy, Mikkelsen should be one to kick too if he manages to get hordes of third places for another year.
Oh and I think Sordo should be also "thankful to god" if he is in that list.

Silly me wrong thread.

I think Meeke deserves to be higher than 9 NOT... or have I got the wrong end of the stick? is this list basically a ranking of talent, or who you think deserves a seat?

Cheers...

this is no ranking, just the people who in my opinion (which is basically a fact since i am awesome) should have a drive/chance at the top of the sport

[tommeke_B]

Breen and Parn, seriously?
