I don't post on the forums anymore for various reasons, but I thought I'd post this.

Eurosport set to become World Rally Championship promoter as North One's Qatar deal falls through - WRC news - AUTOSPORT.com

North One is dead. For god knows how many years they've screwed the WRC over with dismal coverage and now they're finally dead and buried.

Some person North One source said: "It's unbelievable. We have come so close to landing this. The deal was on the table and, believe me, it would have been by far and away the best thing for for us and would have allowed us to further devalue the World Rally Championship for many years to come When will people realise that these sort of companies go out of business because they do a poor job. This isn't the credit crunch, it's not Islamic militants or even the coriolis effect, this is some people who were rather disconnected from the audience and were making a product that many didn't want and kept on doing it for many years not realising the mistakes they were making.

Together with the ineptitude of the FIA, North One are responsible for the downfall of the WRC and I think with Mini and VW throwing their hats into the ring, we could be in for some good seasons.

Goodbye and good riddance, you won't be missed, don't let the door hit you on the way out etc etc etc.
