Today me and my friend took a ride in the Simrac rally simulator which is built inside a Focus WRC with a screen ahead of it, the car moving on a hydraulic platform to get a bit more authentic feeling with the car going over bumps, jumps and slides. The stage on the simulator is no less than Ouninpohja (well, split into pieces). The gear shift, pedals, steering, seat and the seat belts are the real deal so just sitting in a car like that is an experience itself, let alone getting to operate it. Keeping the car on the road is surprisingly difficult but it's also very fun.
Here's a video bit that my friend shot from the co-driver seat https://twitter.com/AnttiL_WRC/statu...30643728175104 doing the stage in the 2016 direction. We also drove the Kakaristo part, even with the virtual version it's a goosebumps experience to drive through that junction.

The long-term future of motor sport is not so bad (even if, in the short-term, Mercedes F1 Team needs to upgrade their data-acquisition system...lol)

Barman - Hi co-driver what would you like
Co-driver - Anything just make it strong and make it a double
Barman - What's wrong ? You really don't seem very happy
Co-driver - I've been calling notes for years and what have I achieved ? What chance do I have now ?
Barman - I don't understand, what's happened
Co-driver - Here read this https://www.star.kiwi/2018/03/co-dri...-rally-winner/

First of all congratulations to both Matt & Jared!
I was about to write a longer story about this but decided otherwise since it would have most likely been taken the wrong way to most of you since i'm bad at expressing myself in English.
Jared and his parents are great example of giving their kids a change to pursuit motorsport in a different way than driving.
Co-drivers should deserve the same level of attention as drivers do, they have atleast as important job as drivers do but normally they don't get as much of recognition as they deserve.
Hopefully Jared keeps doing what he does and learns to rally with notes aswell. We have a lot of young drivers but new and young co-drivers are always needed to keep the sport alive!Last edited by Essaj; 24th March 2018 at 00:32.
Solberg to Toyota would surprise me a lot, what would happen to Pajari in that case?
