Would be nice if I could access it, keep doing searches but it never shows up...it's like the mythical Channel 5 all over again

In 2016 it was shown Q3 & Q4 + semi-finals + finals for Lites and finals for Supercars on our channel. Last year half of lives were cut or shown next day. But I watch on Motorsport TV and directly from Official World RX site. Of course it was locked for my country like every live broadcast but I use VPN.

Bennett has revealed the Mini, looks better than I expected

Not sure what his aim is though, taken an untested car into the World Championships just strikes me as odd. It's an awful lot of money to plough into something that he's just looking to get into the semi-finals at some point during the season.

Edit: I missed this too...seems a bit fluffy though http://www.fiaworldrallycross.com/ar...d-rx-ambitions

Yeah, agree with both of your points there: it's much better looking than the car that was shown at Autosport earlier in the year.

In a way I admire him, he obviously has the money behind him to have a crack at the World Championship and, if I had a big pot of cash, I would love to do the same. That said I can't help but think Bennett is going to be very lucky to make a semi-final this year: would think that the European Championship would be a much better place to race this year.

New Mk.8 Fiesta for Eriksson and Larsson.

Just watched the official coverage of the event at Silverstone and was not too impressed with that track.

Lacks the character of Lydden and was very hard to see the Joker laps being taken and how they affected the races.

So, after all, Ford didn't really leave the series... Let's see...

22 minutes of paddock walk, very interesting!

I noticed that Pernilla and Johan underscored that they've only done "small changes" and aren't "reinventing the wheel". I wonder if they actually didn't do much or if they're just saying it to lower expectations.. Hmm

Petter on top? In the wet?! That's usually where we find Johan. Also, the VWs seems to be on the pace after all. And an MSE car I'm the top five? Impressive as well.
