    Why, if you look at the ewrc results.

    Wilson said several times that Camilli wasn’t a paying driver ant that he believed in the French potential; apparently he got tired of believing.

    Btw, Camilli never had big personal sponsors but he’s close to Michelin WRC top staff; maybe it was them who suggested him to VW.

    Barritt suffered concussion during the pair’s sixth-gear roll at Rally Guanajuato Mexico earlier this month. After hospital checks, he was advised not to continue and the pair retired their M-Sport Ford Fiesta.
    He has since been recuperating at home in Britain and experienced co-driver Stuart Loudon partnered Evans for the Welshman’s two-day test on the Mediterranean island roads which started yesterday (Monday).
    Barritt will undergo a medical examination ahead of the Corsican event to check his fitness, but M-Sport is confident he will be given the green light for the fourth round of the FIA World Rally Championship.

Pathetic, and very bad for the sport. Bernie never sidelined Ted Kravitz because he asked a tough questions once in a while. Oliver Ciesla must have a very, very fragile ego.

    That said, I've never been happy with the coverage on WRC Radio. 99% of it is Becs making puns, talking about the weather, giving split times, or apologising because we couldn't hear the stage end interview because the equipment isn't working.

    Your only job is to keep the audience interested. If you can't do that because Ciesla is swinging the sword of Damocles over your head, resign and go work for Red Bull TV. Mike Chen and co have been doing really great stuff over there without fear of upsetting some vain idiot. I've been going back after each rally and watching the RBTV coverage and, frankly, it's still better than anything All Live has done since Monte.

    For us it’s our fist Wales Rally GB. Is Betws-y-Coed a good spot for an accommodation? The stages on Saturday around Aberystwyth are a bit far away from Betws-y-Coed. But Thursday, Friday and Sunday should be ok? What do the experts say?

    I find her a nice person and enjoyable to listen to but I admit that I can't disagree with you when you say "The teams have literally been paying these "journalists" the whole time to ensure nothing bad is ever said about anything the teams do. No wonder everything they say is pure fluff."

    I would not blame Becs and Colin too much though, everyone in their shoes would have done the same... It's this system that is pure cancer. Promoter should have done different if they want the sport to be told in a proper and effective way.
    Maybe I was naive but I was sure that they were too "kind" with drivers and teams to ensure their collaboration with them, not because they were literally paid by the teams. That's not journalism, that's press office...

    Yeah seems like a good shout to me. A bit hard to say without seeing the route in full. But that should put you in position for Shakedown (probably), Penmachno (if that runs) and anything around Brenig/Alwen etc. You're never going to get a perfect location for all four days so you just have to make the best compromise.

    We should know more in April. This pre-press release press release is the new strategy now it seems.
