The 'launch' at the Autosport Show was a perfect example of were they're going wrong. It was a good idea, but poorly executed.

And as far as the coverage of it was concerned, especially here in the UK, it was poor; e;g Pistonheads reported on a new BTCC car and a Toyota Gazoo road car, but nothing about the WRC launch. And none of the other car mags bothered.

I thought the whole point of using the Autosport Show was to launch the WRC , and 'sell' the sport.....
