A technical article on Prodrive's Subaru WRC car + banning

[Richard L]

Lame excuses, rules and regularation is a sign of the man in grey suit stretching their muscles to ensure thaeir presence is felt.

I would consider Rally is a poor relative of Formula1 just because of difficulties in filming in the wild for TV coverage - F1 is a "ready-made" spectator sport that requires little or no-effort. Frankly it make me go to sleep everytime I watch it.

Rally, on the otherhand is struggling to keep the sponsors interested due to less TV coverage and little advertising revenue (banner placement etc) and teams pulling out is a regular event - I think the man in grey suits have a hard job in keeping the expenses down for the manufacturers.

Water injection is not an expensive item compared to some little things like the gear lever!
