Supposedly it was a money issue for Speed when it came time for renewal a couple years ago. That is why they cut it..

I hate that Mosley is all about making money, he doesn't give a damn about the sport, I watched an interview, he said something along the lines of "I hope it gets big, like Formula One, where everything is awesome." The teams HATE the rules in F1, the rules they're starting to impose on WRC are going to do as much damage here as they have to F1. They removed active diffs a while back, they're putting restrictions on everything (I understand the safety aspect, but why restrict tech advancements?) and they might force the teams to not use turbos? Seriously wtf is the FIA thinking? The worst thing that could happen to any motorsport is to be absorbed by the FIA...

This is going to have a negative affect like when they banned Group B. The viewship dropped astronomically. Max Mosley's time is up. He ruined F1 and now he's ruining WRC.

To make it more affordable for manufacturers... or to relive the time prior to 1983.
