FIA Rally Working Group: the future of WRC and the rally sport

[Mirek]

It's nonsense for everyone because it would not attract far majority of the ERC competitors. They come to fight for OVERALL victory and for their media and public exposure. They would get none of that in WRC.

Didn't ERC run with WRC in Spain one year, when nobody noticed they were there

Yup, haven't 100% calculated it yet, but watching more than 2 proper stages a day on Friday and Saturday in Sweden you will barely have time to watch all Rally1's on the first stage in the morning

"Thanks god" for all this calculations there is not so many Rally1 cars...

Well in one way yes, but I'm meaning time to the next stage, hard to know when you don't know at what point you will be at the stage anyway. In Finland i came from Laukaa after Greensmith, got the camera up and made Kalle at the Myhinpaa sideways jump by less than 1min so my calculations can be a "bit" close sometimes lol

First event wrap-up: without the "hammers" Rovanpera and old-Ogier, it's just a great battle at the front and it benefits the WRC so much. WRC-2 is once again on fire, fantastic fight for the podium and top spot, keep going.

TV: some improvements with picture-in-picture interviews to keep watching the action on the stage, some editorial things to fix, when there's battles going on you have to follow it and not focus on Fourmaux. As someone said this weekend, we need more fixed side cameras to get more action.

Social media: the new social media manager is doing an impressive job and, as I wished last month on another thread, finally they introduced the pre-rally and post-rally shows. Still room for improvement for the highlights, 3 minutes is just not enough, 6-8 minutes would be already better as asked by many fans on the comment sections. Hopefully it will get better in the next events.

Yes, with a different itinerary as I recall, so wasn't technically the same rally.

Same day 1 and 2 except for the spectator-stage on Saturday.

So who won the rally?
