Robbie said most of it, but I reckon the cars are a fair bit stronger than GrN cars -- they use improved TCAs and lat links to start with.

FYI - we discussed this a bit on pg. 31 of the News and Rumours thread in the WRC forum.

I think Travis and Derek will do very well this weekend. And in Argentina for that matter.

No, no, just need to focus more on my career. If I were 25, it might be different, but at 31, I am too old to bet on being a professional co-driver. Especially living in America.

I have truly...

That's the one.

As far as I know, Travis is doing 9 rounds of the Rally America Championship and 6 rounds of the PWRC, sponsored by SOA and is trying to get together money to do an additional 5-8 rallies in Europe....

Yup. Not a rally, but a good time for sure.

It's a TV show... 1/2 the organizers told us to go to the final. 1/2 told us we were eliminated from competition. Then we raced for bronze. Who knows what the rules were. It's a TV show...

I've done the event 2 or 3 times. 2, I think. It's totally forgettable. Quite poor organization who seem to think they're running the Monaco F1 race. Road wide enough to spin a TIR tractor and...

Nevertheless, if non-mousse tires (tyres, if you prefer) are made stronger, this will benefit all runners, not just WRC. A big part of why PWRC and especially JWRC are "puncture" championships now,...

I think getting rid of mousse is a good idea actually.

As it is, the WRC boys have mousse, and as a result make exceptionally large cuts. The PWRC/JWRC boys are then forced to take these same...

Citroen Stops Carlsson

Rally World Champion Sebastien Loeb's Citroen Team is responsible for Daniel Carlsson's exclusion from the WRC. Citroen have not...

That's what you got from Argentina? I think that I, along with the other 147 people on the "blue" plane, would tend to disagree. Remote servicing would be good, but let's make sure it all happens...

Tomi - while, as a fan, I agree with some of your sentiments, JAM and COD have got it on this one - it's about maximum exposure to the most number of people, bringing in new fans, and maximising the...

Ah, sorry, didn't realize you were speaking strictly about the UK market. It appears you get 1500cc and 2000cc normally aspirated Imprezas and the STi, all in hatch form.

In North America, we're...

What? Impreza will still be available in three flavors: 2.5i (normally aspirated), WRX, and STi.

I think the point is, the first year, you get casual fans at the SSS. Then the following year, you get them to come out to the stages. Seems reasonable to me.

As for what the real rally fans...

I suspect you'll see much more of this in the future.

I think ISC aim to bring rally to more (and paying) fans by doing remote SSS in major cities. When I first heard of the Buenos Aires SSS, I...

I believe the saloon is intended only for the American market. I quite like the hatchback.

1st pass of the recce, driver tells co-driver what notes he wants. Co-driver writes it down.

2nd pass of the recce, co-driver reads notes to driver. Driver tells co-driver what changes,...

Yes, let's hope the cars all get back on time. And that everyone is quiet on the flight back, so we can all get some sleep!

Should be a fun show, though!

Charro - I like the first photo! I remember that corner; that time it didn't go exactly as planned. Oh well, SSS!


Correct, we're also in Argentina and Wales Rally GB this year. Trying to do...

The only place people whinge about Matthew Wilson is on this forum. In real life, Matthew is an absolutely fantastic guy who is very serious about becoming a future rally champion and who has put...

We are not all spectators and some of us would be significantly affected by the decision.

For instance, Pirelli has virtually no distribution in North America and the prices are much higher than...

Thanks for all the kind words, boys, but expectations of stage wins and a top finish in PWRC are months away yet. We're just aiming to keep our noses clean, drive all 350km of stage, and get to the...

No. Subaru Rally Team International is the team name under which Takuma Kamada and Travis Pastrana are entered in PWRC. Entering as a team gives you access to all the PWRC amenities - radio...
