    Another wrong decision; Rally2/ R5 cars are enough for National events; another class for rich businessman is not needed. When are people in UK rallying going to wake up?

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

    is needed for business. a rally1 is worth like 5ish rally2... and it's easier to sell 5/10 rally1 without competition than 25/50 rally2 against skoda/toyota and the others...

    I don't give a toss about somebody's business.....the sport is far more important in the long term.

    As I said in the Rally2 thread, It's been a double-whammy for M-Sport with having to spend on developing the Rally1 Puma (and then hardly selling any); and this also led to neglecting the Fiesta Rally2 and losing sales of that too.
