I'm planning on adding a little detail to the rallying side of this, and also adding a link to this page from the relevant articles. However, I think "(athlete)" is too specific to the runners. The article isn't really big enough to justify splitting into separate "(athlete)" and "(driver)" pages, so I propose renaming in order to represent athletes and drivers amore equitably. --DeLarge 09:42, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Support move. I thought the move from (term) to (athlete) didn't really improve the page title, as athlete, at least for many Europeans, means "track and field" athletics and not sportsmen in general. With more about rallying in the article, this move makes a lot of sense. Prolog 11:04, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Support move. I would suggest "...(sports)" instead of "...(sport)" to avoid initial confusion about whether "Flying Finn" is a sport rather than a subject of sports. Peter O. (Talk) 03:58, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Support - I think with s is best. -- Beardo 01:21, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
