    Coverage of WRC2 has been very good on this rally and in Croatia, hope they keep it up for the rest of the year

    However you forgot about the heritage of rallying, son.

    Pity the FIA cant mandate a RWD diff bias for the current cars.
    Aero and long suspension travel are the reason it looks boring. Specially these stupid huge wings

    The WRC17 had more of both and were amazing to watch. Most likely then multiple factors

    Quite a doninance, stage positions 1 to 5 for Toyota for every proper stage (SS2, SS4, SS5, SS6, SS7). (SS1 and SS8 short stage, SS3 cancelled).

    I wonder when and if we see they say thanks to everyone but they’re leaving WRC for good…a travesty watching them…

    how it would be different? i was talking purely about stages/rally and their profile, not about the competition.

    no matter how close the battles would be or if we would have Group B cars on the stages, it wouldnt make look the stages and rally itself better.

    Eh, boring! How to sell this product to wider audiences outside the die-hard fan base? Interesting that Hyundai has done some adjustments that Sordo is not the fastest of them 3 anymore.
