WRC rights holder goes into administration

Agree with all the comments - i used to love my Dave­ WRC fix - but would never pay ESPN for the privilidge,­
Bring back manual Gearbox - no Turbo - Remeber the­ clutch..... heal and toe,
all the real skill have been­ lost,
proper rallies - yes i remember doing 1000 mile­ in winter following the good old RAC - Kielder, Dalby,­ Escadavid and even Sutton Park
i suppose we can dream­ of the good old days
RS1800 - oh bliss... only had a­ mk2 Mex but best fun car i ever had.
i think the­ organisers have lost the plot a bit - lots of TV means­ sponsers, Sponser mean income, income promotes the­ sport, people watch and spend money with promoters and­ sponser - simple.....

St - You can see by the amount of "likes" on­ RS 1800 comment that he is not the only one.
Its the­ technology that is destroying rallying. Remove­ technology from the cars and spend the saved money on­ longer events. This way your fan base will grow with­ covering a bigger area for spectators, the WRC will­ become more popular and more people/companies/sponsors­ will want to invest in the sport. The IRC is a good­ example of this but it needs to be more....

Build yourself a time machine RS1800 and stop moaning­ all the time.

# 1,2,,3, i agree with you all, the days of a good­ clubman being able to mix it with the works has long­ gone along with any feeling of fun,
the cars are over­ complex and the rallys? are now three stages in the­ morning and a reverse in the afternoon,
i remember­ standing on esgar Daffid at three in the morning on­ 1980 RAC THAT WAS RALLYING.

The whole WRC thing has been on the slide for years in­ my opinion. Too few manufacturers, too few winners­ (i.e. one guy dominates) and the cars might be­ brilliantly efficient at covering ground from A to B,­ but they are boring to watch and expensive to­ build/run.

Honestly, I'd rather go and watch a­ bunch of Mk2s at a club rally.

Bring back a cheaper­ formula where only a few cars need be homiligated - or­ where even a private team or individual could build a­ competitive car from kit part (you can a grp 4 escort­ at home). Even Group B could return as safety and­ materials have moved on. They could be massively­ strong, safe and brilliant to watch.

Does this mean that after such a long period in some­ sort of wierd communication vacuum, we can pray for a­ WRC prepared to communicate its brilliant product (as­ seen recently on the Great Orme by people who live­ here!) to a wider world who are really not prepared to­ pay ESPN ( or anyone else for that matter ) for such an­ expensive privelege.....F1 please take note

Fuc$ off Bernie, don't get any idea's !
