Sorry for this message, but I think you'll appreciate it. Today has been released (both on the App Store and Google Play) the brand-new interactive edition of Rally Emotion magazine, after many months of behind-the-scenes work and efforts.
The maiden English-written edition has interesting views about WRC and rallying in general, with a long interview also to Oliver Ciesla about WRC future and, alongside all the old editors, is now enriched by new international contributors like Juha Piironen (Finland), Becs Williams (UK... well, Wales!), Keiko Ito (Japan) and Hans Erik Naess (Norway)!
It's available both in English and Italian, hope you'll enjoy!

A silly innocent question, what is the size of the wheels of the current WRC cars?
https://motorsport.hyundai.com/en/i20/main?goSec=2
If you scroll down to "The Two Faces of i20" heading, and if you press on the side view of the car, you will notice the difference between the WRC and the production wheel size? I wonder what is that size?

The rim size is listed as 8 x 18 for asphalt, 7 x 15 for gravel.

Pirelli tyre size - asphalt 235/40/18 and gravel 205/ 65/ 15 - the tyres look bigger than in the past because the cars are smaller than the focus, xsara, 307 etc
road car i20 likely 175/70/14 etcLast edited by Zeakiwi; 24th August 2014 at 21:56.

Too early for him. If you want to ruin his career. He should do full season in R5 car or smt similar and learn all the events. I belive he has never driven Australia, Argentina, Mexico, Poland, Monte Carlo, GB, Sardegna.. that is more than half of the events. He surprised me a littel bit positively in Germany, but it was his third start in Germany as well.
Edit: and someone mentioned Lappi as potential future.. I have seen him twice live now (last time in Rally Estonia).. and I was very dissapointed. He is very far from the top drivers.Last edited by bluuford; 25th August 2014 at 01:36.

What are Msport's options for 2015 - keep Hirvonen on for another year, see if they can get Hanninen or Ostberg, take a chance on Tanak or some-one else?

And here's something else to think about for 2015. What is the chance of a second Citroen team with Kubica & Chardonnet? Reasonable i think!

No point of kubica sadly, he is fun and spectacular, but he should test dtm or something.

Pretty sure it was just him thinking out loud about possible line ups, rather than actual fact

The game didnt last long with Ingram's off on SS8. :( Pryce, Evans and Williams also failing to finish left the win to Cronin. Great for him and keeping him in the series this year. Creighton...
