FIA launches WRC fan survey
The FIA has launched a new fan survey to collect data and understand the future direction of the World Rally Championship (WRC). This follows the creation of a working group led by FIA Deputy President Robert Reid and David Richards to evaluate and recommend the future direction of rallying. A meeting was held between the working group and current WRC manufacturers in December to discuss the format of the top tier of rallying. Options on the table include continuing with Rally1, moving to Rally2, and the possibility of creating Rally2 plus regulations. The FIA has announced the launch of a fan survey inviting WRC supporters to share their views on the championship. An independent agency has been commissioned to produce the survey, and focus groups and in-depth interviews with manufacturers are also planned. The findings from the survey will be presented at the next meeting of the World Motor Sport Council at the end of the month.
