Also... we've watched some recent WRC rallies and the response was that "rally was interesting in principle, but WRC is 'Formula-1 boring' due to only two manfacturers, and Loeb's dominance"
Any tips on whether to watch previous seasons [prior to 2004, I guess], or other champhionships/classes/categories [and if so, which ones]?
I have early 2000's British Championship seasons on DVD which were great due to variety of cars - Opel, Renault, Pegaut, Fiat, Skoda, etc - but even they seemed to homogenize quickly in the open/top category toward mid-2000's. The lower classes don't seem to have much meaningful/interesting coverage in either TV specials or DVD
