Neuville shares his vision for future WRC event format
Thierry Neuville, a Hyundai driver in the WRC, has been vocal about improving the format of WRC events to increase its overall appeal. Many drivers have criticized the current format, particularly the length of the days and road sections. The WRC Commission has gathered proposals to address these concerns, including a new points system that gives more weight to Saturday and Sunday stages. Additionally, the FIA has formed a working group to shape the future of rallying at all levels. Neuville suggests introducing more variety in rally lengths, bringing back iconic events like Argentina and Wales, and making some rallies shorter to focus on Friday and Saturday. He also proposes having a Sunday stage with repeat runs and a remote service area for fans to interact with drivers. This, according to Neuville, would bring the rally experience closer to the people.
