Not sure if Raz is still on here, he competes quite a bit, recently winning the Modern Challenge category at Targa West. He is quite a quick driver in whatever he drives. Used to run a Charade GTti like I have.

Yes, I'm still here - best place to keep up to date with what happens when a WRC round is on!Quote:

Strong Australia entry confirmed: Seventy-nine crews will tackle the next round of the FIA World Rally Championship, Coates Hire Rally Australia, between 11th & 14th of September.
Oh great! 79 crews, that's lot! Let's look at the entry list: indeed, the numbers go all the way to 79. But wait, let's count: there are only 30 crews on the list.... so what happend to the other 49? :)

Yes, yes, I could also guess that the other 49 crews are starting in the national events. But it is boderline dishonest to claim that 30 crews is a "strong entry" and then trying to hide it by just counting the national entries as well.Quote:

What are the car regulations in Australia, I see they allow FIA spec cars, do most not? Too expensive?Quote:
