WRC, end of an era?

With the end of the WRC calender looming it looks like it is the end of an era for WRC fans. After Rally GB the top level of rally racing will be reigned in, with the cars engine sizes dropping down from 2litres to 1.6, and there will be sever constraints on gearbox technology.
The current regulations on engine have been in force since 1997, and the cars have developed so much, is this the death of WRC? Or is it going to make it more exciting? We'll have to wait 'till next season to decide...

  1. what the hell really?! i had no idea they were dropping engine sizes.... You might be right about the end of an era... with mini coming back and with the new displacement restrictions i think next year will probably be the start of something new and, hopefully, very interesting.

  3. If there is demand, I'd go with the "more exciting" over death.
