The WRC was in action at the famed Acropolis Rally in Greece last weekend. It was a rally where Ogier struggled after mechanical issues early on, and the young guys shone. We took to Twitter to find out what you thought of the Rally.
First off – this. We agree. Rallying was huge when the stages and cars were. Rally is not there to be shown live. It is there for great media, a great TV package. The current media and internet world is great for that. Though we still love what we have

Citroen should work with Peugeot to do what VW/Skoda have done with Mikkleson. The winner of the IRC Championship looks like a future Champ in the WRC

Word
Can’t imagine a #WRC series without the Acropolis Rally in it, even in it’s 2013 truncated form.Whilst there’s no Safari the sport needs it.

If these guys got hit, it would be the fault of the Rally. The driver would undoubtedly be impacted emotionally. People like this are pure idiots. Natural selection will have its day, I just hope it is never in a motorsport event. It would be great if they grew a brain but I don’t see it happening
These guys aren’t too bright. Acropolis rally fans flirt with death @carmagsashar.es/wjk6g
