I guess the Rally Safe system in the WRC won't be based on GPS points for start and stopline like in the APRC?
Because the times have been up to 3 seconds wrong there I'm hearing.

Tracking map is handy if you are interested in actual locations of accidents. For Finnish championship GPS is very nice to use while spectating a stage and a crew is not arriving on their slot. If GPS shows it's just around the corner, I walk. Or run, actually.Quote:

So Skoda will be back in a couple of years...

I mean that there is nothing new in that article, everything (and I think also more) was told in lot of other articles before.Quote:

Isn't the commitment moving from Dakar to Rallycross programme? Hence why they've dumped the Hansen family and taken the programme in-house?Quote:

Apparently well known in the service park for some time. Just waiting for Autosport show announcement.
Lets see how that goes - and notably, what price they expect people to pay.
Sometimes the love isn’t worth the price now.
That would be quite something.Quote:

Wich caracteristic you use the most in wrc+?
I almost never use live tracking, but for me to have all the onboards is very useful to plan a rally and find a nice spot to spectate, and of course the live stages.
Sorry for my english
Sorry, I can't remember nor can't check it right now either. Will have to wait three weeks for Arctic Rally - for which GPS tracking is difficult due to its distant location. Ralli SM have also a GPS based split time system.Quote:

Live stages, GPS tracking when no live stages and onboards archives with map for preparations.Quote:

For me personally, it's worth having it for the onboards only, without the onboards I'd cancel my subscription immediately.
For me Live tracking is the most used part of WRC+. I cancelled my pay TV subscription and now use WRC+ to watch preview & highlights shows before they appear on our local Free To Air TV channels.Quote:

2018 has started randomly for Luis Moya. The Galician copilot (57 years old), two world champion of rallies with Carlos Sainz and standard bearer of the extinct Volkswagen team, was operated on an emergency yesterday afternoon at the Model Hospital in La Coruña, suffering from three brain aneurysms of various kinds.
Moya arrived at the hospital center of his hometown - where he was spending these days with his family - with a severe headache, triggered by the cerebrovascular condition detected by the doctors who treated him. Fortunately, the surgical intervention was satisfactory and the doctors were able to reverse the situation.
As MARCA has learned, Moya is stable, resting in the ICU. He must remain hospitalized a few days before being discharged from hospital and be able to return to Barcelona, the city where he lives and in which he practices daily, for years, his favorite sport: swimming.
The president of the Royal Spanish Automobile Federation, the Valencian Manuel Aviñó, showed his support for Moya.
Wish him a speedy recovery!!!
Shit this is so dangerous happening, I always feel bad when I see physically active people suffer something like this. Hopefully he got good doctors around but not everyone is so lucky, life is a game of luck.Quote:

Meeke says he took the break in Poland on his own free will to prove to the team that it was indeed the car that was unstable and not his driving. He says he was happy to have Mikkelsen and Loeb testing the car and confirming that it has a very narrow operating window.
After him coming out saying it is a mistake not to give Breen a full season and now this it seems to me that he's really fed up with the team and its politics.

They would change WRC+ after I decide to drop it! Oh well, at least without auto renew it will be cheaper if I do decide to get it again (don't get me started on how they normally screw their returning customers).
Matton set to be head of the WRC.....

On the one hand, having someone who has managed a team can be great for the WRC. On the other, you could argue he's not been that great at managing a team!
My gut reaction is "No".....but whoever they choose is likely to be under 'orders'......
All stages, from all events.Quote:
