Subaru And Suzuki Drop Out Of Wrc

[phunky_monkey]

You're right, it's all good publicity. Just thought it may have been better publicity for the old Pugs

Bring something like this back please

[sav man]

as long as they do better than the 307, that was a shit car.

[phunky_monkey]

Sure was, bad move for Peugeot that one!

[sav man]

Atkitson is driving a Citroen for a 2nd factory team in Irland! Hopfully he get more runs during the year.

[GTS4WD]

Does this mean Chris Atkinson is out!?

Anyone planning on signing him up!?

[sav man]

He's Signed up the the Citroan 2nd team, but he's not garenteed a run in every round.

F*CK YEAH!

My two fave drivers!

Seb and Chris!

Surgeon precision vs heavy handed balls to the wall!

WRC is my favourite form of motorsport, and it's getting worse every year.

I love watching the skills of Loeb & Co...

...especially after my skills went to the limit at "Rally School" lol

Rivetting stuff to watch & experience!

Yes, I hope rule changes encourage more manufacturers to come back when world finances aren't on the edge.

[phunky_monkey]

Well it looks as though the S2000 cars will definitely add some manufacturers back into the top flight for next season... but still no Subaru

Loeb once said he'd quit before dtriving an S2000 car so we'll see!

[sav man]

But the WRC S2000's are getting turbo'd. I think from memory he siad he'd quit if it was a NA S2000 series

[Marlin]

I fast forward the coverage when the S2000 cars come on. Sound shit. Look shit. Go shit.

i like seb... hes a funny guy.. aslong as he doesnt leave.. i will continue to enjoy and support wrc..

I do hope they have some more pace to them, and perhaps a bit more torque for some nice sliding... but if not anything else at least the competition should get a bit better and hopefully we can get back to the early nineties when it was exciting to watch, not a two horse race.

See, I don't really notice the lack of manufacturer variances, I tend to focus more on the skill, the commitment, and the outstanding ability of the cars.

yeh same... i didnt even know for ages that there was more than one car to it... when the driving is fast and spectacular... it doesnt matter what car it is... and when the wrc car resembles nothing of the road car... then it doesnt really matter what colour it is and what badge is on it.. aslong as its fast and the drivers are pushing it.. those guys have large kahuna's.

Maybe the FIA have been infiltrated by Greenies who are slowly succeeding in killing off all premier motorsport events...

Conspiracy theory??

No, thats pretty close to the truth, Haha.

Which is why I still enjoy watching it, but the lack of variety of cars brings in too much tactics which ruin it for me (though I understand it). For instance we've had rallies this season in which Citroen has had the ability to slow up 3 cars to give 1 car a better starting position for the following day, and with more manufacturers involved this would be less prominent in my eyes, which should bring back more straight fights to the finish.

I'd also love to see other manufacturers in just for varieties sake, as I loved the 206's and Rexxies in the early 2000's.

[Marlin]

True and agree Dane, I just meant the lack of manufacturer variety isn't a deal breaker for me.

[NZM.031]

yeh right on phunk.. bring back the SWRT cars from the early 2000-2006.. they are hwat...
