Hiroshi Seiki died here, yesterday. I think a lot of you would have seen him on the stages. To many of us he was a legend in APRC & WRC and a great person to have dinner and/or a drink or three...

I just reported the various ...Rok spammers to hopefully be rid of them before the rally starts. Please do the same by hitting the caution mark at the bottom of any posts by them.

Yes, but I thought the Day 1 results were interesting from a WRC point of view!

It's only Day 1 of Dakar, but surprisingly WRC drivers occupy the first three places; namely Al-Attiyah, Loeb and Prokop! Sadly, Carlos got lost and is currently 37th....

Bit of a stretch to call the 2021 Safari Rally a 'returning event' and no way can the tarmac Rally Japan near Nagoya be seen as a return of the previous Hokkaido-based gravel event.

Yes, I believe in India they still have motorcycle rallies with navigator riding pillion. I have seen pix & video from a few years ago.

APRC, NZRC, Asian GT, ERC, ARC & FIA Cross-Country, in that order (when they are actually running!)

Actually, this was done from 2019. The list of homologated cars is from that year. I agree with the rest of your post.

In Japan we use winter rally tyres without studs due to ban on studded tyres on public roads. IIRC, Canada does the same.

All part of the 'show' that current Organisers think they need to add to their events, I suppose. What's next for SSS, co-drivers skydiving into their seat while drivers balance an egg on a spoon in...

Exactly!

Not too many seasons ago, some crews were fined for doing `doughnuts`. However, `doughnuts` have recently become almost compulsory on SSS. This weekend will see the shortest ever SS in FIA...

When I watched that Red Bull promo video with Sainz senior and junior as rally instructors for Mark Webber and David Coulthard I was disappointed that the instructors weren't given runs against the...

Well, I thought it was a very good movie with some of the key scenes borrowed from the WRC. Also, a lot of effort was made to portray authentic Service Park action (the movie mechanics were trained...

Not to be confused with the Fast & Furious-type junk movie with the same title released last year, 'Over Drive' is a Japanese-made drama about two brothers,(and the compulsory love interest girl!),...

The long-term future of motor sport is not so bad (even if, in the short-term, Mercedes F1 Team needs to upgrade their data-acquisition system...lol) ...

I noticed that guy with the beard and had similar thoughts, too. Maybe his German twin?

Edit: TV commentator confirmed it was David Richards in his new role as head of MSA (UK's ASN).

Apologies for raising your blood pressure, but no WRC paparazzi with long lenses were involved! As M. Dupanton states above the couple merely posted a selfie beach pic on Fadesbook. Oh, and there it...

OK, as I am trying hard to be a gentleman, I'll comply with your wish so as not to upset your delicate feelings ;-)

So, is this the thread for reporting romance between two WRC drivers gossip?

AFAIK, the Organisers of WRC Rally Indonesia and some other APRC rounds applied to the FIA for special dispensation on wearing long-sleeve flame-proof overalls on the grounds of extreme heat inside...
