That Focus sounds filthy. Can't wait for Lydden, will be great to see so many different cars.
Focus looks great. Shame M-Sport isn't going to use it to build 2017 wrc car...
But it's strange how far the seat is pushed, it's like driving from back seat...
The small DS3s and Fiestas will fly left and right when the big bad boy smashes into the first corner!!!

Is there a way to watch it live? I googled a bit, but haven't found any functional livestream...
Tomorrow you will be able to follow the races in livestream here: http://www.lequipe.fr/lequipe21/Quote:

The Rx must revise its complicated and retarded points system if they want to go mainstream and not to become a has-beens playground.
So no website live stream of the heats, even on the second day... dont understand that as its all being filmed. The SF & Final will be shown live but the proper fans should be able to watch the whole event...
Watch Global Parking Lot Rallycross Championship then..:PQuote:

2nd 15 points
3rd 14 points
4th 13 points
5th 12 points
6th 11 points
and so on down to 16th 1 point
15.6.3 In the Semi-Finals points will be awarded as follows:
1st 6 points
2nd 5 points
3rd 4 points
4th 3 points
5th 2 points
6th 1 point.
In the Final points will be awarded as follows:
1st 8 points
2nd 5 points
3rd 4 points
4th 3 points
5th 2 points
6th 1 point.
You would like a system where the winner takes it all?
If so a team can sacrifice one car to torpedo another car in the final, and that driver will have 0 points from that meeting, even if he has been the best driver all weekend.
Is that logical?
The WRX will be on live immediately after Ranger/Celtic football match something like 10mn... http://www.lequipe.fr/lequipe21/
Its plain stupid and retarded, especially when there is no coverage of the qualifying...
The winner should have a clear advantage from the others no matter what happened in the qualifying.

for people that are affected by regional restrictions.

Nice win by Solberg although he destroyed the race for Kristofferson. What happened to Loeb ? who hit him ?
It was a bit of a stupid place from the organisers to have the joker i think, unnecessarily dangerous.
Gear box problem for Loeb
