The WRX has really fallen off the planet in the last few years. It's probably similar to what happened with F1, as Loeb is one of the greatest drivers ever so competition has suffered. But it's also suffered as a result of regulations that removed the two biggest drawcards of the WRC - you could buy almost identical roadcars and they weren't even expensive...

I've thought this for ages but the final straw happened this weekend when I found out the current round of the WRC was taking place in Australia. It may be because of the Rugby World Cup and football finals on at the moment, but it was amazing that this received almost no media attention even as it was taking place.

It's sad, but the competition isn't all bad, and rally does seem to be making somewhat of a "comeback" in america

Man I wish WRC got more [some] coverage in the states. I haven't seen any in years... other than that X-Game stuff, which is cool, but nothing compared to the real deal.
