original quote ajp71: Yes I was actually having a discussion about this the other day, why WRC has become boring to watch over the last few years when the cars in reality are exactly the same as they were ten years ago

hmm... nup :-)
The whole philosophy of rallying has changed over the past decade.
rallying is no longer about sliding. sliding slows the cars down.
its about sliding as little as possible and this has hugely effected the cars. its why we had a massive generational change at the start of the 2000's in both the cars that were dominating and the drivers that were dominating.
and yeah i think its made the WRC alot less interesting. I still obsess over it but i think its suffered.
in regards to the original thread tho, yeah i can see what PWRC would be more interesting cos the traction and setup of the car is alot more rudimentary so there would be more sliding hence more proper rallying.
imho
