Modern Rally is dying a slow and painful death.

It's not popular enough to get the cooler or larger marques interested and none of the cooler or larger marques are interested in advertising as World Rally Champs so there's no "oh hey, this rally thing looks interesting" experience from the general public.
Ford, Citroen and Hyundai are all in there, but Ford is pushing everything else as it's sports car championship (I genuinely have no idea why they're in Rally the way they are) and neither Citroen nor Hyundai seem to be generating any traction. Toyota is joining with the Yaris, but I doubt we'll see the height of the Mitsubishi vs Subaru WRC days, let alone the Group B days.

So it's in a death spiral unless someone big decides to take a punt on it again (I saw that Renault is bringing back a modern version of the Renault Alpine A110 1600S, which as a side bar: yes loving please, so maybe they're going to do a thing in WRC?).

I should say that WRC used to be my jam in the olden days when it was genuinely Subaru vs Mitsubishi (even if the Peugeot 206s were better... I loved me some Marcus Gronholm in a 206). Then you had the pre-Loeb years and it all felt like it was getting a bit stale, and then the Loeb years which always felt like a foregone conclusion.

Have you not watched any of this year's WRC?

I last watched a couple years ago during ?Ogier's first win?, and it all seemed a little more amateur hour than I remembered.
I also heard that VW were pulling out.

Why does anyone in this thread think that Verstappen or Stroll did anything wrong? Is this everyone's first race? You can't stop without brakes, and you can't someone coming from 100 meters behind you to hit you once you've already taken your corner.

If you want reduced ads but also a lot of 'Indycar for children' analysis, find a stream for BT Sport ESPN in the UK

NASCAR, in its drive to engineer some kind of playoffs system for motorsports, has introduced a "stage" system to their races

so at least twice every race, everything stops and they break for ads so they can award championship points to whoever was leading at the end of the stage before resuming the race under mandatory yellow flags

That's incredible
