I think what Redbull are doing for motorsport is quite commenable...even if it is largely for their own gains (ie lots of tv coverage, and the brand association). Its good to see a different outfit happy (and able) to provide the backing for teams who are competitive enough to be interesting. (thats mostly in reference to the redbull team in f1 last year).
Stu mentioned DC - was beginning to the "old DC" last year in F1...before he became a shadow/underperformer at McLaren...lets hope that (a) that continues and (b) they're able to convince someone like McRae back into rallying, and give them the
resources to challenge for wins.
Sad that Skoda are pulling out as a works team, only hope they come back entering another form of motorsport soon. (ie like Seat did when they left rallying and then entered touring cars).
