Favourite Drivers & teams

[kolly69]

hello. Am new to this. My husband is a huge rally fanatic. Goes to many events around the world. Am trying to impress him with my knowledge. Can someone tell me who are the names in the sport that I could mention. Favorie drivers and teams

Riiiight, ok.

I think you asked this a few weeks ago, but back then it was your girlfriend who was into rallying, not your husband. 0.o

Matthew Wilson. The biggest rally star in the UK.

wait, if it's a shared account and you both are asking for names to drop to sound knowledgeable in rally, it sounds like neither one of you is actually rally obsessed and needs to impress the other. just come clean and learn about rally together!

As a female fan it isn't at all hard to find which drivers to talk about, you just look at them.

Hirvonen, OK not exactly a looker but boy is he cute, like a living teddy bear - therefore my number 1

Ogier, Well you just can't ignore him

Loeb, Hmmmm maybe he still has a lot of charm

P.Solberg, only when he is happy

Actually it is hard to think of any I don't kind of like, must be the rally suits or something

You then just need to find out what team they drive for and you are sorted.



Probably though it is much easier to watch the highlight shows and actually find out who they are, how they drive, what their current form is, which rallies they do well on, which they don't. What they give away in interviews etc. If you and your partner are actually fans you would be watching the shows together and discussing?

Personally I have to say I avoid talking about Mathew Wilson.

Craig Breen though, now that is the one with a future in the sport. (In my own biased and humble opinion)

Be careful though, it sucks you in.

Or then again it could be a trolling expedition by an inept exponent, I am monitoring the situation - though Sprocket appears to be the only poster taking this at face value!

Trust me I had my doubts

If you´re from England you´ve got to know that M-Sport handling the "factory" Ford Fiestas is run by Malcolm Wilson and situated in Cumbria...

Next lesson will be the drivers in Ford team.
