Every pilot who rent a car at Msport can do those KM's if they pay for it.
Maybe less criticism on Block now that he gave a drive to a (bit) talented driver like Atko. I can't imagine Atko made this deal on his own, Block has for sure something to do with it.
I think so too. Chris would not have the influence to talk to Monster and DC to get this. Perhaps a duel Gymkhana in in the offing?
Great news, and so happy to see a deserving driver back in a WRC machine. Let's hope this turns out to be a long term thing...
i have recently read that this years rally gb will not feature the great orme stage because the rules state that tarmac cannot be run on gravel rallies.if this is the case what is the difference to rally portugal running a superspecial around lisbon before tackling the gravel stages?
Super Special stages have generally always been treated differently in the rules.Quote:

However for the use of limited sections of asphalt on gravel stages, a waiver may be sent to the FIA.
So, it is possible, you just have to get a waiver.

The M1 Mini team will be humiliated by the Sordo/Sandell Prodrive team :D :D

Sandell is not bad; Meeke would do better but Sandell has the money. Can't help feeling that the "Sweden World Rally Team" would be better off investing in a decent IRC or sWRC programme for Pontus Tidemand though.
Pontus T is already in an investment programme. EvenRally.Quote:

We have to accept that Rallying is circuit racing’s dirty and less glamorous cousin – and the media will show an interest when it suits them.
Saying that, Motorsport is a good magazine....and the idea of a Hall of Fame is to be applauded, just don’t expect too many Rally drivers to pop up.
You only have to take a two second glance at how the race of champions has metamorphesised in recent years to support that theory.Quote:

Maybe they should call it the Brittish Hall of Fame, then the choose of rally driver makes sence.
Lets hope they do not include any other rally drivers...because their criteria are a bit grim.

I now only that Andis Neiksans will participate in this class
Is it still running without NOS?
I think it has only been fair, that the old masters have got their recognitions first. Your view is a bit shortsightedQuote:

Doesn't matter how many Nancy boy F1 drivers you want to recognise first, all of these are far more deserving of a hall of fame position than McRae.Quote:
