    1 - What if Petter have to end his carrer due this crash (and age)? Like Dario Franchitti had to retire from racing after a big crash

    2 - No Tanner or Speed for the VW Polo. Energy Drink conflict (monster vs rockstar). Same for Marklund (Loco Energy). VW will probably run just Johan and Depping (already confirmed)

    3 - Loeb testing again with CitroenWRC (Ogier/Loeb/Meeke for 2018?), Ekstrom selling the cars (He dont want to be a team boss anymore), Petter with this big crash (Im thinking about that "forced retirement thing"), Block saying he would like to race in 'murica again (whatever). In my chaotic imagination, all 4 big WorldRX teams are in "DANGER" haha

    I think Petter has said he's already found the sponsorship to continue the customer relationship with VW Motorsport for next year.

    Peugeot - probably leaving, lack of confirmation at this time is worrying

    Ford - for sure Ken and others will be sick and tired of getting hosed, for probably little TV exposure. For sure it's known Ken found competing in the WRC bad for image to be coming 9th (if he finished). How many times has Ken made the televised Final this year? As far as I know the only LIve coverage in the US for World Rally X comes through the Ford Performance webiste. Hardly 'mainstream'. And this also means Ford have direct knowledge of the audience...

    Audi - for sure seems that Ekstrom is out. This doesn't fit their new image to play on electric cars...

    That could be a big, big hit for the sport. Perhaps it's the 'reality check' it needed to fix the rapidly and unjustifiably large budgets...

    EKS were hinting at some news around the corner on their FB. Whether that's because they're officially withdrawing or announcing new cars remains to be seen.

    THing is, if the 4 big teams withdraw then is it actually better for the sport? We go back to what it was in 2014 instead, which arguably is better for competition. It would open the championship back up to the likes of Marklund and Larsson.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    EKSRX said on instagram "It's planned to build new cars for 2018" on the comments

    Hmmm maybe they are planning a costumer VW program like PSRX?

    Final round of the Scandinavian RallyCross series ("RallyX Nordic")
    Oliver Solberg vs Thomas Bryntesson
    https://www.svtplay.se/video/1484964...nas?start=auto

    SuperCars semifinal at "-1.15.00" and final is the last feature of the video
    (theres also local rallycross series, rallyx lites and others)

    This one is probably my 'favorite' series right now together with EuroRX Cuz there are No manufacturers racing with the privateers.. And most of these guys are racing the EuroRX too so its a great level series with top spec cars. A great championship.. and we can watch the races on SVT's site. (At least I've been watching over the last 2 years, including RallyX On Ice - The "winter rallyx Lites championship" that they are hosting since 2015)

    Hope you enjoy

    Speaking about this year's British RX, does the Supercar have a full length semis & final in highlight coverages..?

    Apparently there were some shenanigans in Riga during the WRX round there but Ekström pretends to be innocent.
