rallycrossnl should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I might have a few teensy weensy adjustments to suggest .
Most are in the ERC2013 topic.

Rewrite the stupid rules. We all know there's loads of errors in there.
Re-install the clerck of the course and race director in their position.
Restrict the power and the sphere of influence of the 'meeting of the stewards'. We all know that's needed.
Get a promotor in that has a good track record in car sports, let them promote. No take over, just to the publicity side of the sport for the whole of Europa. Yes, Europa, W(orld)RX is just a funny thought for a once a year race of champions between ERC/GRC/ S(outh america)RC A(sia)RX etc.
They also will have to bring in the experts that get all the ERC drivers bigger sponsors/contracts/travelmoney/team outfitting money. Not just say, hé, you will be on telly in (fill in some obscure far away country) and that will bring your sponsor gazillions. Guide them, help them, bring in the big bucks.
Line up the future, with good support classes, a young drivers academy.
And they better have a good plan and the full contacts and contracts before they want drivers and tracks to signup. No, Oh yeah it will be on telly, euh somewhere, not known to us yet...'.

Jokerlap, hmm on some tracks it works. I'd say let the drivers have a vote, per track. It did change a lot of runs outcome, it takes tactics, it did cost a few cars.. , it brought some great images etc.

Night/evening race under floodlights. Blyton has it, Marshall (Detroit) has it. Could be fun, for the WRX race of champions event to broadcast live in the right countries at primetime.

So yes, the cars run on part dirt part tarmac tracks but it needs a 2013(and 14/15/16.....) update at the office end of it
