I watched a couple of rounds last year but didn't see anything that made me want to watch it again - and it seems to be a common view. Sad to say but I think GRC is dead in the water - there aren't enough entrants to make it worthwhile. As you say Mark pushing away the privateers was a big mistake (and possibly one that IMG are making too with WRX?) as it leaves a very thin field of entries - get a couple of retirements (always likely given the likelihood of contact and the general reliability issues of supercars) and you're looking at a very meagre grid. Are any of the events financially viable with such a small field? It seems inevitable that the series will die.
