Rallying in crisis. A shame but maybe if the governing body were a bit more proactive rather than reactive all the time it might help. I've often said it, but I get the impression the rallying is a pain for them - and they'd prefer if people went circuit racing.

Rallying has been in crisis for about the last 10 years. This isn't news.

Aye, but just when it was starting to look better with Rally GB improved, more R5 cars around & the BRC back in action... we get this.

Only in Wales though, so we still have England & even Scotland !

Off the topic and not quite sure where to ask this question or if it's been discussed before, but do the current crop of WRC cars have a place in the 2017 championship and onwards.
Are they still be able to complete in WRC events? Not for points obviously, but can a gentleman driver for example enter a 2016 Fiesta or DS3 in the 2017 Monte Carlo? Will they be redundant as far as World Rally is concerned at the end of 2016.

No u didn cause the 2ltr cars had an advantage over the new cars. Were group a cars still allowed to enter wrc rounds when the first wr cars came out i believe they were.

So obviously you don't know the answer either, but you thought you would just type something.
