WRC main class in 2025
Nonsense indeed when you even yourself admit they cite other publications…
I wish them well but at the moment I don’t see them adding any value writing the same articles but this is my problem
Anyway. Off topic
About Cyril’s whining, there is always one in every series. Toto Wolff being the one in formula 1, especially couple of years ago when he wanted a changes when the cars were proposing a lot, especially his team cars.
Cyril been the most vocal about it but don’t forget that all 3 teams wrote to FIA not to change the regulations for next year.
I don’t mind his whining and I actually agree with him. New regulations for 2025 adoesn’t make sense and too little time to prepareLast edited by EstWRC; 17th May 2024 at 22:15.

I don't even know why they hire him. He is not from this sport universe. I'm sure there is plenty more people out there capable of running such big team.

Like I said before... Now I have a feeling he is more and more keen to actualy lead the team out of this sport anyway. We all know where his true passion lays. I just hope that they stay here as long as new teams do actualy enter. So the sport will not be harmed more than it is right now. Then we don't care about them, if they are gone.

He is manager of team, not an owner. FIA wants changes that are too rushed for team like Hyundai who was preparing for different timelines. I would say he is doing good job so far and you're way too dramatic about him.

I had this reply from Rally Journal re sources and credits:
Thank you for your feedback.
We always cite the original source if the article is borrowed from another media.
If you are referring to the article published this morning about Cyril Abiteboul's comments, then we have acted correctly. Our reporter was present at the same interview that Autosport and Motorsport.com had previously written their articles on. This time it happened that Autosport and Motorsport.com had published Tom Howard's article earlier.
Sometimes, it has occurred that we have published an article first from a similar interview, and later Autosport/Motorsport.com or DirtFish have published their own pieces. This is quite normal practice.
I must also mention that we are very good acquaintances with Tom Howard from Autosport/Motorsport.com, as we, like him, attend all the rounds of the World Rally Championship. Just recently in Portugal, he came up to me and thanked us for correctly citing the original source when it was his own piece.
I know that many smaller sites fail to mention their sources. We do not operate like that. However, it's good to receive feedback on this matter, so we can clarify things as well.
Best regards,
Toni Heinonen / RallyJournal.com / Rallit.fi

Abiteboul says new Regs aren't what is needed but reforms of the WRC media, rally formats and service parks...

McErlean's sponsors already mentioned some time earlier this year, that he has already shown enough progress to keep his fundings.
