I just think the WRC is boring. The only driver's who are capable of winning are Loeb and Gronholm, so it's always utterly predictable. I think we need more manufacturers competing.

Suzuki coming next year is an improvment, but we need a few more, to make the rally's more exciting and competitive.

Yep, Rallye should be the most spectacular Motorsport
But at the moment it is really boring! Just Ford and Citroen! The Subarus are in terrible shape. There are no longer Lancer Evos, Peugeots, Skodas or any car else which is factory backed! I can ´t understand, why there are no more car manufacturers in the WRC.
And the layout of the courses should be more interesting again. (Remember the nights at the Col de Turini ! )

They need to bring back night stages too, night stages were one of the greatest things about rallying. They really test the measure of a driver.

Also, the stages are far too short, there almost like sprint racing. Bringing no real interest, excitement or depth to a rally.

I'd love to see the Eurosport's TV viewing figures, they must be rubbish.

Subaru are doing rubbish. Although the new Impreza is coming next year, so let's see...

Also, we need more factory teams, like Peugeot, Fiat, Renault. Maybe a premuim car maker (BMW, Audi) too? To really spice things up.

The lack of a top British driver at the top of the sport has got to be hurting the ratings as I haven't really watched the WRC since Burns and McRae left the sport.

The lack of manufacturer support is the main issue for the sport in my view and some serious work needs to be done in order to attract new manufacturers if the sport is going to survive in the future in my view.

Absolutely true deano, we need more manufacturers to make the action more exciting.

However, as a diehard Motorsport enthusiast, I will continue to watch the WRC.

The rallies aren't even closely fought anymore, Loeb goes off into the distance and Gronholm can't keep up, and the others just stay where they are - not battling with each other.

People consistently moan about F1 being boring, well should take a look at the WRC...
