Mirek, I absolutely agree with your position on HANS. I have fought for many years for my own ASN to refrain from making HANS compulsory in any level of the sport in my country.
HANS is a frontal...

Indeed I do!


That's hardly the same as having an equal opportunity to compete for the title ... which is what rallying is about and it's distinction from other motorsport codes.
Yes, factory...

And that, right there, is the biggest issue with the WRC right now. Until privateers can compete with the factory teams we'll have the same 3 or 4 person competition we've had for years. Imagine the...

Ooooops, that ended up in the wrong thread. Wonder how that happened.

I wonder if anyone has given any thought to the possibility that there could be significant benefits in the WRC containing itself to events in Europe only.
If the limiting of cost by having all...

Of course there's a 'step'. But some take steps easier and in bigger bounds than others. And some are already at the higher level but for an opportunity. Paddon is one of those. He's won in...

If that theory was applied in the past, you'd never have seen either Loeb or Ogier in a WRC car. In fact, Paddon's pedigree would surpass both of those drivers prior to them being given their...

Really? It appears to me to confirm exactly the opposite.

It's ridiculous to suggest M-Sport is not a manufacturer. Sure they're not Ford Motor company. But they never have been. They've been the chosen representative and flown the flag for Ford for many...

It's a shame that the sport should be used for 'political' gain, especially given the level of funding rallying has historically received from the tobacco industry.
I suppose though, drivers need to...

In rallying nobody has "claim" to #1. It's given to the champion as a matter of courtesy. If he's not there, it's given to someone else. Which is exactly how it should be.

It wasn't so long ago that competitors were 'seeded' on each event and given the corresponding number. That way spectators had an idea of who were the top competitors, who were expected to win, and...

You don't and won't know the answer to this until you test it. What we do know is that, as much as we all like Petter, he has developed a habit of failing to finish events, which is likely to...

Absolutely objective Mirek. The simple point I'm making is that people with a winning culture will continue to win regardless of what you throw at them. Each progression in a career that demonstrates...

Actually, everything. Apart from this year's SWRC, but glitches do happen .. event to the very best.
Many of you think of Paddon as young & inexperienced. At 25 he's no longer young. With 10 years...

Really? As I've said before, at lot of you have blinkers on. Paddon has the rare ability to win at will. It's long past time that teams looked outside the box for results, particularly when they've...

Paddon?

Or find someone else.

I don't imagine that Loeb will be entering any event with any intention other than to win, and I'd be equally surprised if the team weren't 100% behind that.

There is no question Ogier is fast and will provide much enjoyment over the coming years in WRC however there is really nothing in his history to suggest he will be the dominant force at all. But...

Totally different.

I have to agree with you Mirek. That was a disaster narrowly averted. It is unbelievable that spectators were permitted in the run off area of that intersection.

Glass half empty eh?

No point speculating on drivers for any team. All will come out in due course.

Only a handful of very childish cowardly forum posters used the term you refer to. No business with the wherewithall to support a rally programme would have given a moments consideration to the...
