Spot on, Iskald.
I recall writing something like this a couple of years or so back;
In the 70's I watched Grp 4 cars. It was fast & exciting & good to watch.
In the 80's I watched Grp B cars. It was fast & exciting & good to watch.
In the 90's I watched Grp A cars. It was fast & exciting & good to watch.
In the 00's I watched WRC cars. It was fast & exciting & good to watch.
More recently I've been lucky enough to watch some very good drivers in old RWD Grp4 cars again and it's still very good to watch.
Perhaps it's the skill of the top drivers, and not so much the cars, that make it exciting to watch.
I would have preferred the new formula to be S2000 but whether it is, or whether it is S1600T, I'm sure it will still be exciting to watch.Never do anything you wouldn't want to explain to a paramedic.

It will become interesting when 3-4-5 more Manufacturers join. They should be queuing up to join, but they're not. So, why are they not joining - and I don't mean 'rumours'? Mainly because the WRC is frankly, rubbish - and is not relevant anymore.
I'm not totally sure S1600T are the answer. Getting too expensive - and no exposure in return.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

I love the sound of naturally aspirated engines and the S2000 are fairly new so they would get faster if they became the new WRC car.
Less electronics, yes, but technology moves forward so do the cars.There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!

Iskald hit the nail right on the head. To be fair though I don't agree with Solitt that the cars these days are good to watch, they just handle too well and have too much traction.
Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.
