World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[skarderud]

Mattias Ekström is Swedens most talented driver ever. Racing, rallying, RX, ROC. More than 10 years I´ve seen his skills (and mentioned it before on this forum) and now he proves it in WRX as well. Given enough time and he´d been WRDC also. Now it´s too late I´m afraid.

He was fast both in Mitsubishi and a fabia wrc in sweden, i remember. He has earned his money in dtm, but i should loved to se him in some different cars earlier in his carriere!

That Focus is a beautiful machine

For sure I think if he'd gone down the Le Mans route like a lot of his Audi team-mates I think he would have won there too. Interesting that he didn't. Maybe it was due to his love of more aggressive driving.

Brill to see the three best drivers on the podium.

Puts into perspective just how new those Focuses are that they hadn't even taken it off a jump in testing. All things considered making 2 out of 3 finals so far is a very decent achievement.

It really was fresh out the box, think they only got a shared day on an airfield with the WRC boys before the start of the season.

Just caught up on yesterday's action, not as interesting as last week but I like Mettet as an RX circuit, gives the drivers a test even if it's difficult to pass. Some impressive drives through the field, not least Bakkerud in Q4(I think). THought the penalty on Baumanis was harsh though when you consider the contact we saw through the qualifying and previous events. Think it's the first time in RX that I've thought the stewards have got it properly wrong. I know some people don't like the level of contact, but they at least need to be consistent.

Can't wait for Lydden though, hopefully it'll be dry

Indeed, for free, online for all to enjoy. It also comes on the back of a 2 hour show for the main series, a chunk of which is live and is also streamed around the world on Youtube....and you can also watch all the races from the last 2 seasons on Livestream. I almost feel required to drink Monster just to show my support for the series
