    Given all the recent problems at the top of WRC, I suppose it's no surprise these things haven't already been worked out. I like Richards' stand, particularly those last two lines. :Thumbsup:

    Bam, there it is..

    Understand that without knowing what future coverage is going to be or it's quality; a team can't even make a proper pitch to a potential sponsor, much less a manufacturer...

    Hope it works out well!!:cool:

    Steve I think you should bid on the contract. From what I've seen you know what you are doing. :Thumbsup:

    I agree completely Crash. That could bring M/A to a new level. :)

    Progress...maybe.

    Like I said to Nathan a while back, you know the situation is desperate when you're actually hoping for the FIA to step into a situation and do something positive or productive. It's not what they're known for...we're usually screaming for them to stay out or stop meddling...

    This ought to bring some stability to the broadcast package. Who knows, with these being German and Austrian based companies maybe BMW will see fit to spend some money on the MINI Rally program.
