It's good to read. Much more open words than North One's "pink world"

"But, we must be unsatisfied about the present situation. We have certain rallies as part of championship distributed around the world where there are limited numbers of manufacturers, this needs to be addressed. We are in a strong economic crisis and we need a strong effort to promote the heart of our championship"

Interesting words from Mr Todt which could be interpreted in several ways! Is he planning a calendar shake up to have rounds in countries that have manufacturers currently or intending to compete? Or does he simply mean the series lacking manufacturers in general which is a no brainer?

Either way it does appear that his years in F1 havent dulled his enthusiasm for rallying..

At wrc.com a (small) picture of the drivers. With Block and Prokop(?), but no Henning...

Sorry, not excited about this season at all.

Someone once posted that love for rallying was like love for a woman (credit should go to Daniel I believe). Well, being a rally fan is like dating a pretty girl that likes to set your clothes on fire.

anyway, IRC is a one-channel broadcasted series, WRC has lots of contracts all around the world... many times on free-to-air tv! :p

WRC launch. I know that they did such kind of picture at the beginning of Monte Carlo rally in every season. And I am really excited about that launch video in wrc.com and I must say that watching it made me soo inpatient while waiting for the first SS in Sweden. All I wanted to say is that I really liked that launch idea in Monaco just before the season in different environment than normal rally:-)
