[WRC] Safari Rally Kenya 2025

[TypeR]

Not sure why everyone is opposed to a little decorum. It’s only a sport (not a very popular one either)

How to say you don't know about rallying without saying it..

[Doon]

Today they say, you cannot swear. Tomorrow they say, you must wear a beard and all the women must cover their hair.

Swearing is banned on live TV in the UK before the 9pm watershed. Standards have just dropped and it’s become acceptable more so online. I actually commend the FIA for trying to improve standards. Not that many people are watching.

[Doon]

Please explain.

Unbelievable you are comparing linear tv with WRC and you are on FIAs side

Has society become more bad that couple of WRC drivers say some curse words based on emotion during whole weekend?

I answer myself, it hasn’t. We can’t make sport emotionless and make sports people act like robots

I´m against swearing, however when the world around you like musicians, sportsmen using the f-word, you can´t punish like FIA done. It´s not proportional to the circumstances.

[Doon]

Just offering a different point of view. Not saying anything at the stage end is a bit childish, why not protest openly at the stage end (without swearing lol). Doesn’t really bother me, stage end interviews are probably the least interesting part of an event for me.

[Doon]

It seems everyone else condones bad language by “role models” on live TV where impressionable youngsters may be listening.

Then people are surprised that the president of the most powerful nation on earth uses profanity during press conferences, was actually voted in for a second term.

Agree. I think much of the protest stems from the fact that WORDA asked for a meeting but were ignored. One question WORDA asked was where do the fines go? It's a fair question. The answer is.. you will never know. Extremely disrespectful behaviour from the FIA, but not at all surprising.

I support the FIA on clamping down on the swearing, I support WORDA for asking some respect in return, which is not happening.

Let's not go here again on the Safari thread, theres a dedicated one if you want to discuss it (again).

I will say again: all this cheap theater at the end of stages is maximum disrespect and stupid. If the cause would be some dispute on some real values in the life, especially considering what a sh....hole is world today, then I would accept that. Other than that - stupid!

About rally - Hyundai is falling apart. Its like relationships - if one side has secretly decided that it will call it end, then nothing would go right.

About McErlean - i am telling again, this guy has a potential in long run. Plus, finally, second year on row M-Sport can breathe - youngsters are not demolishing their cars. Good for their budget.
