Kevin likes to bend a 208, doesn't he? Apparently he did it on turn 5, must have properly fluffed up it up to have done that.

Pleased to see Thomas Bryntesson back, his drive in Loheac in the wet last year was brilliant.
GRC Europe Info from MJP:
the Platinum car is not a Lites car but more like a current Supercar built on a custom space frame.
The body will be our own design but it will be possible to put any body on.
It will have a little less power around 500hp and 700nm but it will also be 300kg lighter around a 1000kg.
Due to that and a much better suspension it should be as fast or faster on the track.
The cost will be around €200k to buy the car and per race it should not be more than €10k.
The engine will last for 3000km or 3 seasons. Teams do not need to stock parts as we will provide them at the racetrack.
You will not need an engine or electronics engineer and we can also transport the car from race to race.
So it will be only 20% of todays Supercar cost but it will be at least as much fun to race.
Also the race format is slightly different with more cars in the finals and a little longer.
It will be a really exciting series and we will offer test rides in the cars already in summer.
IMG just launched the ARX: Americas Rallycross Championship. Opening round will take place at Silverstone (as part of the World round), R2 at Canada, R3 and Circuit of the Americas (alongside the World Championship rounds). Location of the fourth and final round to be confirmed.
VW (Andretti) and Subaru confirmed to enter.
And certainly not for an "Americas Rallycross" event. It wouldn't be cheap but they would need rounds in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and maybe Colombia in addition to a few more in the US and Canada (east, central, and west for example). Or be more specific and make it a North American series, though the distances will still be daunting.
I'm driving 450 miles tomorrow for a rally that's only one state away.
