Rally need simplifying, not more factors that makes it hard to explain to non-petrolheads.
Classes: wrc 1, wrc 2, wrc 3 as today.
System: you start in Ss1 and end the rally at the last stage. The quickest man wins.
If the car breakes, you are out.
If you go offroad: you are out.
More services than today. Drivers can have team support from a team of mechanics in a van, as it used to be.
No double points, no points for the win of the last stage, no other tricks than that the car that wins most rallies during the season becomes world champions.
The key here is streaming over the internet. This is the area they need to put money into.
Make it simple, rather than more intricate than it already is!
But more drama to come if you can vid mechanics trying to repair car down the road section, which should be allowed in the future. That gives the people more heroes and the media more to review.

Tommi Mäkinen, back in the years...
Road position is definitely helping where Solberg is concerned, but its worrying that the MSport cars directly behind him are already nearly a second a kilometre off his pace!!!
Also Neuville really surprised me with his time there, being on the same pace as Kalle.
