Rally Discussion and Bar Talk Thread

[Katvala]

With more entrants there'd be less of a chance of boring Sundays. When we had more entrants and manufacturers, there was often cruising Sunday, but there was more often battles for positions and podium places so that there usually would be something of interest to watch. Nowadays I often skip watching Sundays until powerstage.

There is a lot of feedback loops in WRC. Less entrants causes less interest causes less entrants and so on..

Spot on.

Of course its more fighting with more entrants, you can't drive safe if someone pushing you.

Weird, those insane spectacular cars people need to have, are boring most of the rally....
People want fighting and close racing all weekend, Rally1 formula don't work, then Rally2 can give fans what they really want.

Do u guys follow more motorsports series on social media? I dont use it a lot.. i honestly open them one or two times a week or so, but man, sports championships are getting SO ANNYING with lots of 5 to 20 sec pointless clips. Jeeez is this how Youngster live? Its weird to think "this is what they gotta do in order to be relevant". But like, I still dont believe these people are actually watching motorsport. They probably just watch these quick clips of a crash (nascar, rally) or a "funny radio message" (f1/indy) or a nice whip (motocross) and think "Cool"... And thats it. Its like, these Championships need to have racing for their fans and "CONTENT" for non fans. WHY? I dont understand haha whats the point in having mu cousing saying "rallying is awesome, look at this car going crazy fast into a tree"...- Oh, do you watch rally?.. "No".
Haha is there value in this?? Or its the same BS about "Electric Cars will make the world clean, lets transport them on aeroplanes to Kenya"?
Haha ahh everything is so weird, mate

I think your point is really good, this tiktok stupidity is what they get used to, its ruined peoples attentionspan.

I don't use [un]social media that much, mostly FB og Instagram due to work and follow some motorsport, mostly rally.

The concentration and attention of both kids and adults these days is close to a joke, its ruined just in last 10 years.

You guys are right. Nothing has really changed that much in the way the WRC events run, but people's general way of being entertained has. They've started to expect action and drama non-stop.

All-Live can show a lot of boring onboards of just a dirt track ahead. People who aren't interested should dip in and out more and if there are no battles to excite them then just wait for the Power Stage.

I think whatever you do with points, do it gradually. Start with one point for the best time over the Sunday morning excluding PS. If that seems to do something but is not enough, increase it to one point per Sunday morning stage. Keep with small, steady tweaks and plenty of time to see how they work. Stop when done.

Really enjoying the drifting vlogs on Kalle's channel. I wonder when he will start to focus his efforts at being a champ in one of those Championship. Maybe after a second WRC title?
Do we know if his drifting mechanics work in his WRC car?
