I react because you posted that under my and Pluto's post.

I have never changed my stance on the subject and I dare to say that it applies also to PLuto. You can easily check that. If someone has...

Come on. Petter is nearly 50 years old. Petter driving once per season is fine attraction for fans but nothing more. It has zero impact on the championship quality and that is what the discussion was...

The cost would never go back again and the damage to the regional and national championship would be permanent while the benefit for the WRC would be just temporary. R5/Rally2 worked perfectly for...

IMO any radical change without being announced at least 2 years ahead logically can not bring any new manufacturers anyway and doing a change just for the sake of change isn't a strategy.

How is a one-shot drive of an old retired driver supposed to make the championship more exciting?

That would be a disaster for regional and national championships ERC included. There's a reason why nobody voted for that.

It's not over until it's over. Other punctures or issues may come. Yesterday night it also looked very different than now just four stages later.

The Austrian championship was running a special schedule of the events just to make it possible for the car to finish each loop. Also I heard the car wasn't following the FIA rules in terms of some...

ewrc doesn't work for me now but if you search for Raimund Baumschlager you'll find it.

It's a showcar for PR.

Nice example of how random social media posts drive an opinion while being completely wrong. The decision is about to be taken on June 11th at the next WMSC meeting. Nothing has been decided yet.

It looks like a slightly curved brick on wheels and it's about twice as high as coupe shall be.

The main thing is that a global series like WRC can not live without manufacturer's money and big sponsors bound to them. Privateers can't fund the series as it is. That is simply impossible.

Rally2 based regulations would only make Rally2 a lot more expensive, less equal and less reliable. It is not a solution but a quick fix to WRC which would do more harm than good in a long run.

The video is nice but large part of it is taken from places where spectators shall not be allowed and therefore shound't be counted as spots for spectating.

Don't take that seriously. There is always a portion of stupid comments under in event discussion.

Not only. It is WAY cheaper to run the current cars than developing new ones. It's normal that they don't want to develop something new. On the other hand without that no new manufacturers will...

The problem with events like this is that while it is for sure great fun for the crews it is also rather boring to watch for the spectators. Still I think that at least one such event shall be on the...

The stock-based engine is becoming a disadvantage of Rally2 not an advantage. Less and less stock units are suitable for racing use and I'm quite sure that no other manufactruer will build a special...

Franceschi has been awesome so far this year. He can realistically win the title.

It's an EV. That gives the answer itself. Nobody sane would try to promote sales of an EV with a CE rallycar.

Sorry but that must have been a lot more. A crash with 17G is something like a hit into a lamp post during parking. When you play a header in football you achieve a lot more. Unfortunately most of...

As I wrote you in another thread* the simple problem with EVs in rallying is that at the current tech level they are not competitive at all and they won't be in forseenable future. The only way to...

Ionic 5 N has 84kWh battery. That means that if you use full power it's done in 7 minutes*.

It makes no sense to speak about these maximum power figures of stock EVs because those numbers make no...

In ralying you can't compensate weight with power. It's not drag racing. Heavy cars are slow in corners.

Fully electric COMPETITIVE rally car is impossible at 2024 tech level. You would need...
