Death of the WRC.
Who actually thinks that a final day shoot out will attract more fans? That is mental talk.
We, the FIA, the teams and the promoter need to face facts. The WRC is not a popular sport and NEVER will be. Lets make do with what we have, excite the minority to the point of wetting their pants, occasionally impress the masses, and give the car makes a platform to sell some cars.
The main thing is, we, the WRC etc etc cannot sell out. If anything we need to go back to basics, where people can buy showroom cars and race them on roads they are never supposed to see. That is more romantic and enticing to a casual spectator than a sport that has adapted to modern society's needs.
Personally, I've never been to a final stage just because a driver is in a battle. I go to every stage thinking 'I can't wait to see these cars flat out'. This is what they need to sell



He was offered millions and he turned it down, it must have been that bad and not worth driving over the sensible risk.. Going back just to remember why he left would be quite harsh :D
