Noticed it was on itv4 so put it on for the first time in years (used to be an avid fan).

:| so I've now discovered that itv's coverage really is absolutely terrible to the point of being basically unwatchable :roll: :cry:

yeah I know I was at Llandudno sunday the organisation was crap they are killing rallying in this country. I love motorsport but I just walked away they said there would be a parade of rally cars and group b cars.
I was pretty excited to watch them what turned up was a load of minis (10-15) some nice some with nothing to do with rallying one even towed through the town on a trailer :? some Mg's a couple sounded nice most were driven by really old men who never go above 2500 rpm then the best ones came through 4 rally escorts a rover 3500 a Nissan or something and a porsche :roll: I was gutted where was the fire breathing real group b cars none of them spun a tyre or did a doughnut they just rolled through and parked up :roll: then there was a few hours of nothing while they waited for the wrc to roll in I gave up

they had a great line up of group B rally cars at the service area last year, got some pics and film somewhere....

i never bother watching the wrc stages any more, mainly due to the price - £25 for 1 stage!!!!!!!!! WT actual F!!

i go to a lot of the local mid and north wales rallies, much much more entertaining and not regulated by safety nazi marshals lol

Lol


This was about banning this thing a couple of years ago, which was built by a farmer and was way more interesting than any modern rally car
