World Rally Championship needs more new manufacturers such as Honda and Dodge. Dodge wants WRC expansion to challenge Ford and Honda wants WRC expansion to make the sport manufacturer's become crowded. If Honda joins WRC, Honda probably to use Honda Civic car and Dodge joins WRC to use Dodge Charger sedan car. Your thoughts?
Taking stock of the current state of WRC affairs...I believe there will be no new manufacturers any time soon. The sport is in free fall...searching for an identity.
Toyota's attempt has been a bit of a long suffering fiasco. The 2017 cars will only alienate more purists and not attract new fans. Instead of clownish looking abortions, stick to stock looking cars with monster horspower and limited traction.
& if the Dodge Charger was orange, with 01 on the doors, had a rebel/CSA flag emblazoned on the roof, & was named 'General Lee'..
..& being hammered by them Duke boys.. sure, I 'd watch 'em.. esp' if cousin Daisy was in her cut-off jeans, doing park ferme..
"Just them good ol'boys, never meanin' no harm..."
Yeee-haaah!
"Well, we knocked the bastard off!"

Im stoked about the new cars. Does that mean I'm not a "purist"? In whose eyes? Yours?
