Following alarm in the rally industry at recently reported comments credited to him, Neil Duncanson, chief executive of ISC, the FIA World Rally Championship’s Global Promoter has spoken further about his company’s objectives. Reports on websites this week suggested he wanted a limited manufacturer presence at world championship level, quoted as saying "I don’t want more than four (competing manufacturers) because any more than that and they can’t win". Speaking yesterday, Duncanson explained: "We want a bigger and better world rally championship, but we certainly want all the participating teams to have a chance of winning rallies. Currently many more than four manufacturers are active on world championship rallies. In Finland there were 11 competing marques, which was fantastic. Many manufacturers support the WRC for special reasons, for example because they are active in the Production Car or the Junior championships, and they are an essential ingredient in the WRC".
FIA has historically made provisions for newcomers to the WRC to enter the series in gradual stages, to gain experience for the future when then hoped to tackle the series fully. Ten years ago there were seven participating companies entered in the manufacturers championship, all seven of them scored podium results and five of them won rallies.
