FIA launches WRC fan survey
The FIA has launched a new fan survey to gather data from WRC fans in order to understand the future direction of rallying’s top tier. This survey follows the creation of a working group in December, headed by FIA Deputy President Robert Reid and David Richards, to evaluate and recommend the future direction of rallying. Discussions were held in December between the working group and current WRC manufacturers to discuss the format of the top tier, including options such as Rally1, Rally2, and Rally2 plus regulations. The FIA has encouraged WRC supporters to participate in the 5-10 minute online survey 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 to gather further qualitative information. The findings from the survey are expected to be presented at the next World Motor Sport Council meeting at the end of the month.
