Costs - as always is the biggest issue. Well keep to a sensible budget regarding cars....and spend less on 'other things' - but we all know that will not happen. It's a World Championship - it is going to cost. However, it has to give value for money - and a return on investment.

As for the routes - they have to be different; a WRC event has to be an 'EVENT'...it has to be special. 40km on a Sunday is almost a waste of time.
