After all those news, posts and threads about circuits being dropped, drivers, teams and manufactures dropping out I cannot help myself to chuckle about it.
All that bla bla about manufacturers, sure it's great that they like Rallycross and are sort of involved. But I for one don't want a manufacturers kind of sport like WRC. I prefer a sort of highly tuned cars, professional tunes clubman style like it has been for years.
Sure IMG make great live broadcasting, but what if you can't access that as a European fan? You get a rip off of 30-60 minutes and some limited stuff of the finals.
So no Ford, Audi or Peugeot involvement? I don't mind! No Ken Block, Tanner Foust or fancy drivers from other disciplines? I don't care! I do however feel it is a damn shame all those cars aren't available for others and if they are they can't be properly entered by privateers due to limitations.
Such a waste, especially that those who have been involved in "new" RX have pulled out. Worse of all some had no Rallycross interest of history before, they came, see and left.
And electric? Sure, eventually I would even consider, drive or even prefer a electric car myself. But I don't want a manufacturer to spoil the sport because the races are so short it suits them. Nor do I want generic cars with a custom body!
Maybe later, but for now electric will rule out the clubman even more...
