During the Rally Monte Carlo pre-event press conference, ACM’s (Automobile Club de Monte Carlo) Media Director Michel Dotta expressed critics against the strict set of regulations applying to all World Rally Championship events. Questioned about the difference between arranging a WRC event and an IRC event Dotta said:
- The main difference is very important: the IRC is definitely something that is more easy to manage than a WRC event. We have all the other stages, which can be completely different. We can manage more easily the last ones together. You can see the last night of Turini, which could not be in the WRC…
Dotta get’s straight onto the problem – that the FIA has made the WRC an expensive championship covered by strange rules for both manufacturers and organizers. Instead they should focus on making the championship cheaper, easier to understand and more consistent regarding regulations and costs.
I promise to get back to this subject soon with more opinions…
