There’s no doubt that DirtFish site is a bless to all rally fans around the world, as it’s a joy to have people like Evans or Clark fully dedicated to inform us about this splendid sport, yet sometimes it’s a bit annoying to see DF pushing some matters with very little, or none, interest to Rally, particularly the Extreme E future series.
After all the exaggeration on Formula E coverage from most of the media, affecting the traditional forms of motor racing, is it reasonable to give so much attention to this new entertainment (it’ll hardly be defined as a proper motorsport form), potentially hurting the WRC and other long established off-road series?

Well no... it is categorised as Dirt... meaning a sport that will feature on Dirt. What would be silly if they started reporting on ATV's!

Despite the green propaganda, the change to electricity is not about saving the planet; it’s about saving the automotive industry and the consuming society. It won’t be easy for any of us to face the consequences of ours unsustainable way of life, but hearing hypocrite politians promising the world salvation if we start buying EV’s or eat tofu instead of beef won’t certainly help.
Unfortunately, this neo-green BS already started in motorsport with Formula E, turning racing into a real scale video game, and apparently it’ll continue through Extreme-E TV reality show, disguised as a cross-country raid. For sure that’s not the future I wish for Rally.Rally addict since 1982

EV's may not save the planet but they are the future as the auto industry sees it and therefore rally (and it's fans) has to also if we want car Manu's to continue in the sport.
I'm no fan of EV's in terms of driving, but I admit they will be a big help to people in our cities who are dying younger due to air pollution.#M-SPORTER

To put it correctly, studies state there are 1000's of premature deaths in cities linked to air pollution caused by vehicles.

Well, then we eat it in or drink it in, either way the end result is the same.
