We have to have privateers, without them there isn't a rally. Who want's to see 4 factory cars competing and no one else. This is what has made the sport at all levels.
I have been a novice, a club level, a state level, a national and finally an international competitor. We need all these levels and have people who are novice's dream about the day they can do a State round, then a National round and maybe one day compete at WRC. They are not there to win, but to live a dream and make up the numbers. We have to have them or there is no sport.
And if you tell me I don't know anything then you don't know the sport that I live and love.

Thats probably the most ridiculous statement ive heard. How has kubica and prokop lowered the value? If anything he has increased it. Im sure there are people who tune into check how kubica has done probably check out his crashes on youtube that raises the profile of the sport. Look at how vatanen and mcrae raised it in the 80s and 90s with their flat out driving and frequent crashes. Im not saying kubicas capable of being a world champ but kubica has every right to be a competitor on the stages theres only one type of person lowers the value of the product and thats biggots like you who run down a competitor who entertains and gives it his all yes prokop isnt a flat out flamboyant driver. But i dont see the czech team knocking on your door to drive their fiesta you really do let the rallying community down as far as i can remember rallying has always been about supporting each other

The sport and events can't survive with only works teams. Allowing Joe Bloggs on the same stages as the World Champion was always the sports unique selling point.
I'm sure it was DR who was keen on cutting entry lists, so that the sport became more like F1 - another move which hasn't worked.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Really?? I'm no fan of F1, but too many here have a giant chip on their shoulder about F1......Compared to the WRC, it's actually a well run series....unlike the WRC which is extremely amateur a lot...
