I keep watching just because I love rallying.
    Same here mate, I feel exactly the same way and I keep referring to the 2019 season because that was the first time someone in 15 years challenged for Sebastien's dominance, and I think what Rovanperä has achieved and will achieve this season is extraordinary but I'm sorry it feels like his competing by himself. The fact that Hyundai haven't won a stage this rally tells you the story of the season.

    On same level as Tänak on tarmac although he has got only one podium on tarmac event which he had done tons of times compared to others?

    On Croatia last year he was miles off Ott so even that case the results is 1:1

    There's no money to fund what is a minority sport - with very little returns. It's not a surprise.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    So some you find rally boring if cap from 1st to 2nd is too big or top3 are from another planet compared to others.

    It doesn't matter what other 40 drivers are doing ?

    Rally is just boring if there isn't fight for win ?

    I´m not saying it's wrong but for me rally is much more than just fight for win, never boring. Maybe it could be boring if all drivers would drive with same car, I don't like rallies with 40x Mitsu EVO in row.

    You change the record. You're always jumping on other teams and can't find fault with Msport. There's middle ground.

    Malcolm talks up Msport getting involved in F1 yet leeches off of payments from Gus Greensmith to fund the wrc team.

    I get your point but it just seems that for the time being there’s one driver and the rest are just there to spectate, I know I’m taking it to the extreme but that’s the way it seems as a fan watching from home. I know spectating out there in the stages is amazing but unfortunately due to covid (amongst other issues) for the time being I’m not able to go out there and see these drivers in these amazing cars go flat out.

    Also if you're not there, you either follow the text based times on eWRC or you don't hear about them. That's just a function of being informed not entertained.
