    WRC has managed 40 years without them because they have nothing to bring to the sport that would somehow make it better.

    It hasn't managed for 40 years without the US/North America.

    There were WRC events in the Us as late as the 1980s and candidate events in Canada as recently as 2001/2002.

    I am not saying that the WRC needs the US, or that rallying in North America needs the WRC (and they are two different questions). Just pointing out that the WRC hasn't always been without a North American event as your 40 years statement would imply.

    What did WRC need 4wd for when it managed to do fine without it for over twenty years?

    I'll spell it to you. C-H-A-N-G-E.

    I don't get it Everybody is whining that WRC is not in good shape and obviously something has to be changed in order to fix things.

    I thought I was conservative....

    I dont know about consrvative, but its difficult to see what taking WRC to a country where is practically no rally at all, would give.

    How com you look things so black and white? What did Norway offer before Solberg? Or Estonia before Märtin? Surely there's some rallying in USA. Heck, after Uuspaavalniemi, we have curling stadiums at every frigging corner

    Nothing much, the thing is that us dont have any Solberg or Märtin only a bad copy of Rautenbach. The us rally is about the same as in Vanuatu.

    Have you ever seen US Rally? It's pretty entertaining actualy, eventhough they only use N+ (open) cars.

    Just to bad they lost the coverage this year cos watching rally in HD is cool


    Bad copy of Rautenbach? Rautenbach can't even crash properly

    Watch how Pastrana skillfully writes off a brand new 08 Impreza at 5:40 lol

    Is it really realistic to say USA will NEVER produce a quality driver and it's useless to even think so, based on just because you say so ?

    Anyways... I believe that a successfull invidual in any sport can isnpire new ones to join in by his/her results, should it be in USA or Vanuatu.
