ste91 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Subaru has been going downhill for a while IMO the cars have just been getting uglier and uglier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bourkey Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Not watched WRC since Richard Burns left and Colin went to Skoda. That was the end of WRC in my eyes. They were the two most extravagant and talented drivers going. They entertained me the most with their fantastic driving and explosive crashes. They were the last two "no guts no glory" drivers. It's all about money these days so it doesn't interest me anymore. Shame as i stayed up all night watching it when i was younger.RIP Richard Burns, Colin McCrae and WRC.

whitestarlet Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Very true Bourkey. money does make the rally teams operate in a big way and its got that expensive that a lot of manufacturers havent got the money to throw at it. so the big get faster and the little ones retire and less competition Quote Link to post Share on other sites
