Why only 8 rounds?!

17-07-2002, 02:47 PM

After chasing the 2002 Safari Rally where all the big names dropped out, I got thinking, how bad would retiring be if the WRC had only 8 rounds? Even without a licence from FIA, you guys could have added more rallies e.g. Indonesia, S/Africa, New York city... anywhere just make the rallies fourteen. Secondly, use the official points system: 1st 10pts, 2nd 6pts, 3rd 4pts etc

Finally, where in tarnations is the Safari?! Coz you know that I know that you know that the WRC aint nothing without the Safari!

HDA tell me s/thing, Is Colin McRae really a big name? Thanks to codemasters' Colin McRae Rally, many think he's a big name. But lets talk achievement. He was World champ in 1995 AFTER Toyota was disqualified, it was handed to him coz second place really doesn't count does it?. Kankkunen, the only big name to finish this year's Safari, was stripped of the title yet he didn't know the Turbo was illegal. I like Colin and I hope he wins the title this year but he'll only be a big name if he does it on his own! Cry baby Burns has accomplished even more. Think about it.

Don't forget that Colin has set a new record of 25 wins on WRC in the last Safari, so Colin McRae is a big big name.
