i dont trust this promoter when it comes to promotion tbh. they got world rallycross in 2021 and they managed to kill the sport. tbh rallycross has so much action and close racing and strategy and jumps, its literally one of the coolest forms of racing out there, sooo easy to promote, especially because the heat races have just 3 minutes, its suuuuper "tv friendly", mega "casual fan friendly"... and they killed. they simply killed the sport. idk if their "promotion" can do anything to wrc. especially because is not "door to door" action. its days of following times on a clock. this stuff will never work in this modern era of fast pace action quick spam attention. so we are literally left with the hardcore fans and the "spirit" of rallying, which is closed roads and drivers competing. how can we have that? rally2 is the answer. such a shame wrc choose to spend 6 months talking about how they are not in a good position just to come back with "yeah, the BEST THING WE CAN THINK IS TO KEEP THE SAME SHITTY PRODUCT BUT WITH 2 MORE YOUTUBE CLIPS FOR 2025"

Didn't WEC has quite nice revival last few years? It's not exactly friendly series for short spam attention. This factor seems overexaggerated.
For me, whether it's rally1 or rally2 is not as important as making WRC more accessible for new fans. Even 8 rally1 cars could provide interesting battles.
Improving rally.tv experience and moving 26-minutes day highlights from Red Bull TV to official WRC youtube channel would be good step.

Come on. Petter is nearly 50 years old. Petter driving once per season is fine attraction for fans but nothing more. It has zero impact on the championship quality and that is what the discussion was about. Also you hugely overestimate his marketing value. Old retired drivers have been running here and there since forever. That's pretty common practice.

I react because you posted that under my and Pluto's post.
I have never changed my stance on the subject and I dare to say that it applies also to PLuto. You can easily check that. If someone has been changing their stance on the subject, you need to address them, not me.
The true madness is oversimpliffication of problems. That's what you just did and sadly that's what we see everyday in the social media all over the planet no matter what topic.
In our case it's not that there would be no need for a change. There is such need for sure. The issue is that such change has to be realistic and viable. That's the difficult part. In this case there was simply no proposal good enough to be accepted by all parties involved and meanwhile the available time run out. You may not like it but that's about all you can do about it.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

oh, no, sorry, it wasnt "for" you or "about" you. it was just another random rant hehe. im just really lost in general on that decision, as a whole.
i agree my post was a simplification, but its literally what happened. fia/wrc lost months talking about how to improve the top class, even announcing hybrids were gone, just to come back and change nothing. so we have a problem and the solution is to continue with the problem.
thats just non sense to me.
easy for me to say that from my chair, at my house, of course. i guess i was being too optmistic maybe. back to reality.

Okay, let's keep the cars as they are..
But I don't understand, why there is zero or even less) information about the hybrid systems..
No logos or anything anywhere..
3rd year into HY cars and nothing has changed in that system.
Why don't let teams use the given amount of ,,extra power'' as and where they think is best for them..?
Would make the strategies more interesting..
