I am probably going to get eaten alive here by suggesting this, but why does France have essentially 2 rounds? All of Monte Carlo's stages are in France, and the start is in Valence. I understand...

No Teme, not Panizzi. This is a guy who has been competing in the World Rally Championship at various levels the past few years. So could well be the second young driver that has been suggested will...

I can confirm after talks (from an exceptionally reliable source from within the WRC circle, who I cannot name due to disclosure reasons), that Juho Hanninen is not the only driver to have tested the...

This is an interesting bit of trivia...

I had a very big crash in the Targa Tasmania rally a month ago (car was on of the first Evo 1 privateer cars in the world, practically written off).

The...

There has been some murmur of Asian-Pacific Rallies on here. Here are my thoughts...

Australia
At the moment, I think the rally will be staying in Coffs Harbour. Despite losing the iconic stages,...

Brendan Reeves unlikely to return. More likely to do Australian Rally Championship and Rally America.

Sisteron-Thoard was used last used in 2002 I believe. I have never heard of St Nazaire!

Future of rally outside of Europe is looking very scary and could fall apart in 10 years, maybe sooner.

FIA has once again failed to make a cost effective formula for the creation of 4wd cars-...

If the rain continues, maybe Solberg can come back having used less soft tyres. However it will require superhuman effort. Sordo currently 2 sec/km faster than anyone else in the field. For Solberg...

You would be forgiven to think the rally world in Australia has gone mad of late.
- Targa High Country, Jason White wins by driving his Lambo up Mt Buller on fire to win the event.
- Targa Wrest...

Could it be Hayden Paddon? It'd keep Gaurav happy as it'd be someone who knew the car and could get Gaurav to adapt quicker to it perhaps? If not, it honestly could be anyone :S

It really depends...

If I was Go Fast Energy I'd be having second thoughts as Matt as a driver. I was astonished and really quite pissed when after completing the first stage of day 2 he said he wasn't pushing, and...

The Good
Petter Solberg
Could well say he was the star of the rally. Petter Solberg is back and hungry. His body language has completely changed and he is very refreshed without the pressures of...

Well I'm back after a long self imposed holiday from rallying, so hope you've all had a great Christmas/New Years break! Will get back to the 'what is wrong with rallying' thread and all the others I...

Tonight I am going to construct a very long post. There is a lot wrong with our sport, and sadly the F1A don't feel the need to act. Not to have a stab at Europe, but it is part of the problem. The...

Wales Rally GB 2011 SS16 ( should have been STOPED!!) - YouTube

What a total farce that they allowed Sweet Lamb to run... Poor effort by marshals who didn't slow the cars down, as that dug up bit...

iPad does have headphone plug and two cameras now. However I would get a small laptop. iPad is great for uni students for reading countless PDFs and note taking and those who like to present stuff to...

Outside of Europe I see rallying becoming very bleak. We've had a fair amount of growth in Asia and the Pacific over the last few years (excluding Australia), however this growth is going to go to...

Even people in local rallies have taken the weather a little more seriously than that...

2 Engine failures over 2 rallies makes me wonder that there might be a weakness in Citroen's armour. Who knows, Loeb could well be hit by another engine failure. Roads are pretty hard packed so...

Yep that's me! Though I am not a real driver so to speak, I won a competition with the WRC Academy to be featured in the game. I'll go PC as I certainly have a powerful rig to play it on ;) Thanks...

Last I heard of Kangas was in the ARC. He ran three years (2003 - 2005) with Les Walkden Rallying, which was the official Mitsubishi team in 2004. He won the Southern Safari Tasmania Rally in 2003...

Will Orders has had a long association with rallying in Australia. His rise to prominence came in about 2003, when he was about 22, when he drove selected rounds in the ARC under the Pedders...

I'm not sure about Ostberg. Though B-Teams are allowed to drop two rounds (Kimi dropped 3), which will free Ostberg's budget up a little. He still will need to make the choice of taking the car to...

I'm not too sure about that N.O.T, at the moment he only has Stobart and M-Sport logos on the car, and he only has 3 additional sponsors on his overalls (in Acropolis). British business, British...
