Ban pacenotes in favor of maps? Possibly...
I feel like I'm beating a dead horse, but I want to see the WRC class scrapped more than anything else... We need to go back to Group A, or perhaps even Group N. Lightly modified production vehicles.
WRC is big enough now that manufacturers _want_ to be involved, and it's more likely now than ever that Mitsubishi, Subaru, Audi, Ford, and perhaps even Honda and Opel to compete with all-wheel drive, turbocharged high-performance editions of their small compacts or sports coupes.
We also need _more_ multi-surface rallies, not fewer! Rally Deutschland was the best of the year! And we do need restrictions on service and support for the competitors, it's a big cost, and is one of the main reasons that only manufacturers can really compete.
And, if we bring down the per-car cost, we could see more entries, which is great for everyone!
And what's most important in the long term, I believe, is to sever control of rallying from the World Motorsport Council, which is _far_ too focused on Formula 1 and safety at all costs!
