    Mr Block returns.

    No Monster Energy on the livery is very odd, I guess they have cut ties.

    Nope. Monster is still his basic sponsor. Block said that Monster is focusing its adverts on the Gymkhana crowd. On the rally stuff he can use his own Hoonigan branding.

    Aha, thank you for the clarification.

    The organisers of Britain's World Rally Championship round will now have to rethink the final day of the October event after the governing body declined a planned powerstage using the all-asphalt Great Orme test, which had been extended into the centre of Llandudno.

    Anyone who have read the regulations recognized immediately what's the point.

    All asphalt power stage on a gravel event. What could only feel strange about it?

    I support of organisers of Wales Rally GB. Anything which is uncommon will help to break sterility, will make the championship more interesting.

    At least there would be no issue over road position...

    I don't really see why if you're giving artificial points out at the end of a stage that the stage itself can't be 'artificial'. Sounds like it could have been a good show for the TV but oh well. The GB route was a moving target last year and it sounds like it will be again this year.

    It is interesting how this all played out publicly. But the organisers effectively PR'd themselves into a corner with the press releases.
