[WRC] News & Rumours 2019

[Tarmop]

They are not planning to introduce full electric, read about it first, before making assumptions out loud.

I guess that we need to forget about Skoda and hope for Subaru to really step into it.

Subaru are looking to go hybrid with their next generation of wrx .

A new great super special for Wales Rally GB...

I wonder if that's it.

There were strong rumours of a street stage in Liverpool.

[AnttiL]

The rumors were of a Thursday street stage in Liverpool. But this one's planned for Saturday.

Very disappointed in seeing more and more "stages" like these. Has nothing to do with rallying.

Yeah, but it does in 'paying the bills'.

Yeah, but it does in 'paying the bills'.

In events where the entrance is free, you can use that argument indeed... But in Wales spectators are paying a lot of money to see the cars in action. Nobody buys an entry ticket, looking forward to see a WRC car taking a donut on a parking area. Having this "thing" in the itinerary means there's probably no room for a proper forest stage at night.

The Mickey Mouse stages of the old RAC Rally (in the grounds of stately homes) were like real rallying compared to this !

Ceremonial start in Liverpool & maybe street stage:
