    I really like Rally1 cars, but the reality is - it is quite dead from a sporting perspective:

    * From a performance-wise, it is a Toyota's show. Others have a chance, if Toyota's top3 (Evans, Solberg, Ogier) make mistakes or do not compete. Luckily for others, it has now happened 2 rallies in a row.
    * There is no competitive field, Rally1 cars struggle to fill the Top10 O/A.

    RC2 cars in Top10 O/A:

    1. Monte Carlo - 4/10 (6. 8. 9. 10)
    2. Sweden - 1/10 (10.)
    3. Kenya - 5/10 (5. 6. 7. 8. 9.)
    4. Croatia - (as it stands after SS18) 6/10 (5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.)

    "Dead" in the way the sport lacking competitive drivers.

    There is no lack of drivers, even competitive ones. There's shortage of seats and teams.

    Rally1's is "cool", but competitionwise it is a sad show.

    I like RC2 cars, but not one that has scored WRC points on the first 3 rounds has entered more than one round. Sure, each rally may be individually entertaining, but it's what binds these rallies as a World championship? That's just as concerning.

    Toyota's dominance is really the Rally1 problem. Hyundai have let us all down and Ford not going all-in with MSport.

    It is a chicken and egg situation. There are too few seats obviously but at the same time it is very difficult to replace a top driver as was sadly proven three years ago here.

    Of course more seats means more youngsters get better opportunities and therefore reach the required level quicker.
