[WRC] Rally Portugal 2023

[Doon]

When half of the top 10 is filled by the support catagory on a popular event like Portugal, it’s time to call it a day for WRC1. 3 head to head races at the super special last night….3. That’s not very exciting even for hardcore fans. All the casual rally fans I know have switched off completely now. It doesn’t matter how fast the top cars are when the variety in competition is so poor.

I watched only 3 stages throughout the whole rally, lost interest on Saturday and didn't bother even with PS

Yes, it is really bad craftsmansship from the promoter. What on earth are they doing? Nothing.

Cut the manufacturer-rule, open up for private tuners, it will take like 1 week before 3-4 energy-poison-drink-team are ready to set up a team.
Several good tuners will also give it a go if the rules is good.
Yes, Hyundai will probably leave, but Toyota and M-sport will keep up, if 3 more teams coming it is much better than today.
If pirelli also can make good tires, we know they can, this kind of rallies will be exiting.

Just watching the MotoGP in Le-Mans on tv, wayyyyy more interesting, as much as I love rallying, there's a need of a serious shakeup from the promoter & the FIA, or else I don't think we'll have a championship beyond 2029 and I'm being kind by saying 2029.
