FIA creates working group to address future of rallying
The FIA, the governing body of motorsport, has announced the formation of a Working Group to assess and recommend the future direction of rallying. The group, led by FIA Deputy President Robert Reid and David Richards, will focus not only on grassroots rallying but also on technical, sporting, and promotional aspects of the World Rally Championship (WRC). The group aims to address the concerns raised by drivers, teams, and fans about the current state of the WRC. The proposals being considered include shortening road sections during events and introducing a new points system to make Sundays more exciting. The initial working paper will be presented to the World Motor Sport Council and WRC Commission for consideration within the next two weeks.
