I find the WRC virtually unwatchable these days. The cars are almost too good and most of the drivers, with a few exceptions are either technically very good or not good enough (I'm not sure which) - meaning they are not particularly exciting to watch. The TV coverage also leaves a lot to be desired.
In the days when Pentti Airikkala was a big name in rallying, things were different. The car's were uncontrollable monsters to all but the elite, so only a few drivers really stood out as having immense driving talent. Pentti was one such driver and I used to love watching him drive.
He died yesterday.
