    Would be cool to do a 3 day test with two top F1 drivers and two top WRC drivers using two days to learn eachothers 2017 version cars
    3rd day competition on asphalt and gravel in the wrc car and a real F1 qual session.

    Who will come out best in total time:
    1. asphalt for both cars
    2. adding gravel time to get final time.

    Will it be a F1- or a Rallydriver on top of the podiums?

    F1 world champion Kimi Raikkonen did the WRC in a very good car. He completely sucked. That is all you need to know.

    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 clock. Junior may have even been faster than Dad as he mentioned he had been driving that dirt road on their estate since he was five years old!

    Happened last year - few different versions of this video - Sainz Jr vs Sainz Snr in crosskarts on dirt.

    I'm currently exploring the many different faces of gin and bourbon cocktails. For the Iberia derby Sagres with Brandy or Port might be more fitting.

    Rom and coke are too sweet for my taste. Grape brandy and cold beers for me.

    In addition to being a rally (and music) geek, I'm a big craft beer geek. Basically I don't even consume any other types of alcohol.

    Considering France is a big wine country and Belgium is known for its strong ales, I like where the WRC title race is going

Maybe the car manufacturers felt like it was an important event to show off for car endurance, but us fans were more interested in fights for seconds (we didn't do timing in tenths back then).
    Yep, from the mid 80’s the Safari struggled adapting to a more ‘speed centered’ spirit of the WRC, boosted by Gr.B introduction, but in the 70’s the Safari was an iconic rally, probably the most prestigious of the series, alongside Monte-Carlo. In those early days of the WRC the endurance character prevailed in most events and rallys requiring a flat out pace, like Sweden and Finland, were somehow an exception; like at the Safari, their specific nature also granted local drivers huge success.

    They're quite famous with their Cognac as well.
