thanks for you reply rallycross could not run with out deidacated marshals like your self and I know it would be a lot colder for you and your freinds so thats way your veiws are invalueable, but how much longer can rallycross run the way it going at the minute? I have put some answers to you veiws
1. Tracks are faster in summer (no mud baths slowing the cars down) so better TV spectacle. ( no I dissagree I think it would better spectacle in the dry they are just like racing cars )
2. Sponsors - better TV coverage for sponsors (I can recall many occasions when it was hard to know which car was which in the mud - let alone see any sponsors livery). (The cars could be washed after every race )
3. Less unavoidable accidents (cars are harder to control in mud).
( If the drivers cant drive in mud they should go racing)
4. More spectators - as has been said the winter months will reduce casual
spectotor numbers. (have you ever been to the RAC in November if there are big names then the crowds will be there)
.
6. Less competition from football and rugby.
(I dont think people who watch football and rugby would go to a rallycross event anyway)
7. More daylight hours to run races - better value for drivers and spectators.
(OK you win that one but I still think it possable )
