    And an important part to note is that nobody calls it 'rally racing', it's 'Rally' or 'Rallying'. Racing is an entirely different branch of motorsport.

    Yup. I only ever call it Rallying, gets on my ***s when Neil Cole says 'Welcome to World Rally, on Dave', always thought it should be 'the World Rally Championship'.

    In the same way that 'simple things please simple minds', simple things also irritate simple minds
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    Thought as much. Sadly I don't think it'll happen

    Agree, also hate it when Paul King says the same thing, i;e Seb Loeb - the King of Rally, or Rally is a tough sport.
    Aagh,..the sport is Rallying, the series is the World Rally Championship!!

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    I'm in two minds on the Rally vs Rallying issue. I think it's just as valid to call it Rally as it is Rallying. I think it mostly comes from languages other than English where Rally is a correct usage.

    Agreed. Paul King is a moron in the extreme.

    It's like calling racing race
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    No it's not You go to a rally to see rallying You don't go to a rally to see rally That's like saying you like motor race if you like motor racing
