For 2013 I hope you are booking flights and not 2012! I would say at previous years dates the 2013 event will run Wedensday 16th to Sunday 20th January 2013.
I would think next calendar released normaly end of April/some time in May.
I bet NZ/Aust won't be on it. I am hearding bad things down here
Oh no, the hippies arent back are they? Park a range rover next to the stage, they might tie themselves to it or something!Quote:

In my opinion, in 2013 we will have this calendar:
Monte Carlo
Sweden + Norway
Mexico
Portugal
Argentine
Greece
New Zealand (Australia)
Finland
Germany (France)
Brazil
Spain
GB-Wales
Italy
AFAIK, it will be something with:
-Monte
-Sweden
-Mexico
-Brazil
-Argentina
-Portugal
-Finland
-Italy
-GB
-Spain
-France
-Germany
-Greece/Russia
:laugh: yea, just a bit of finger trouble there, I meant 2013!Quote:

Hyundai have been seriously considering to paticipate in WRC
News and rumors are going around in Korea souced by anonymous hyundai engineer

yes but it is easier to lengthen a car than shorten it....Quote:

Depends on the driver line-up :-)Quote:

The giant went out with a wimper last time sadly. They just ruined their chance with the accent. I think that was one of the biggest flops in the WRC's history (remeber they were supposed to come back in 2006). I just hopeif this is true they do it as a factory effort and not throught a proxy like prodrive (I couldn;t face another good car sidelined by politics)'
Esapekka Lappi is in Italy doing some tarmac driving training.
International tarmac rally(es) coming up in the summer...
Put Ostberg in the factory seat and someone into Mads seat, that's what I think will happen. Tough news for JML :(
Could be good ! Can we read something about that somewhere ?Quote:

There're a lot of media that handle this rumor in korea (like car magazine, web-base magazine, F1 magazine korea, etc..)
but just like what i said, there's no official announcement yet :(
p.s1 Latest date of the article that handle this rumor is April 14 2012
p.s2 sorry about my poor eng.
Those are the best sentence i can write
Don't hesitate sharing news and rumours from your korean medias and forums. The same applies to Hokkaido and Toyota.
Maiden points with eight place...
World Rally Championship - News - Neuville tipped to build on Portugal points
hillclimb car.
big difference
That's the car Hyundai is using for the global rallycross championship in the United States.
I think we all now it's not a rally car, but dam it is nice.
It was long-rumoured in the Service Park in Faro, as it looks Ford isn't going to committ beyond 2013... :)Quote:

Interesting. How does this car perform against the other rallycross cars (ie Fiesta, Impreza; DS3 etc)?Quote:

That was the week of Pikes Peak and another driver Laughlin O'Sullivan(former factory Mitsu USA driver) was brought in to drive the car up pikes peak where it lost its clutch about 3/4 the way up the hill.Quote:

That's cool. I only follow GRC casually but I am a fan of the Millens so of course I want them to do well. Its good to hear that the Accent had finally found its calling. It didn't seem to be very potent in the WRC sadly. Has Millen made the car any faster? I know he did use it as an "Accent" in a previous season before putting the Veloster body on it. Also its nice to hear an Impreza guys say something good about a new entry into rallying (comparatively speaking).
A car with those looks DESERVES to be a rally car!
If Subaru had released the latest generation of the Impreza with those looks I would that everyone, even die hard classic Impreza lovers, would like the car.
God damn, its just so bloody HOT!
