@NOT About where to live your days: you should try Sweden, and especially Stockholm Archipelago. Or Lappland (in Finland or Sweden, when talking about Alaska...)

Googling "wooden sunglasses", quite the selection. But they certainly look cool.Quote:

Can they please get in someone in the studio that has driving experience, to analyse the drivers live.
the UK bimbos is a waste, that talk the stream into boredom.
Of the subscribers of all live, 98% are following the sport closely. Quality of rally knowledge neeeds to go up.
It's controlled by the director, but yeah it was more than normal this weekend.Quote:

This week would be a good time to rewatch Rally Australia 2011 highlights and think about comparisons to Rally Turkey 2018. Very different road surfaces but many commonalities. Both events were 10th event out of a 13 event season. Points gaps between top 3 drivers when rally started were identical and the similarities are just starting.
Apparently, not an easy DTM experience for Ogier: last on the grid for both races; P13 in race 1 (16 finishers) and P17 in race 2 (17 finishers).

Grid 2: https://twitter.com/i/status/1043822484296994817
Race 2: https://twitter.com/i/status/1043853190658228224
Considering his lack of experience, and how tricky DTM cars are, I thought he did okay. I don't think he had a good set up - as he was making constant adjustments to his steering & throttle inputs ;he was nowhere near as smooth as the regulars - which is understandable. And his windscreen got covered in fluid in the 2nd race.....
Good points. Raw data can’t tell the whole story and behind the handicaps you’ve mentioned is also fair to say he was fighting against top racing drivers (including some ex F1 or WEC).Quote:

1st day: championship points order
2nd and 3rd day: reversed order to the current overall positions. Rally2 after them.
Power stage: first rally2, then overall positions reversed
Next year Rally2 runners will star first 2nd and 3rd day
Got it! Many thanks!

Rally Catalunya maps from 1993 onwards are now mapped, thanks to WRCWings for supplying the map material for digitizing.
Also RAC Rally 1994 and 1995Quote:

Talk about stupid liaisons, the whole of first day...
Ah SS4 - Clumber Park; that was the live TV stage on Top Gear Rally Report....still got it on video somewhere.
I think it was only about 30 stage miles on the first day; but it was taking the sport to the masses. Unlike now when it's largely invisible. So much for progress.
Here is the 1993 video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6l-1f_XsRsQuote:

The question comes mainly since I have been working abroad and know a lot of people from all across Europe and I basically know nobody who knows anything about rallying besides Estonians and Fins.
Not a single UK person I have spoken to knows who Evans is for instance. Even not the Welsh! (and we both work in and around sports).
I know rallies get a lot of people on the roads but how popular is Thierry Neuville in Belgium? Does the media cover him closely there. Do regular people even know who Seb Ogier is in France and so on?
Really interested in this, since my experience is that we Estonians and Fins are the only nutjobs following rally this closely.
Rally is getting more and more popular in Belgium. With reports of 20min to a half hour on sunday after noon of every round of the Belgian championship, even Belgian top drivers are getting more known. For sure, there are quite a few people how know who Neuville is. Football and cycling are far more popular for sure.Quote:

Loeb is quite well known in France but I don't know if that's the case with Ogier as well. Here in Turkey, people know no one from motor sports but Schumacher. :)
This makes it double spectacular how 2 of the greatest drivers of the 21st century come from France where the sport is not even popular.Quote:

There are not many fia world championships, so they have not much choise. And besides f1 all the others are even more unknown to the general public.Quote:

Fair point. Moto Gp should still be a fair bit more popular but otherwise good points.Quote:

"EXCLUSIVE, Ott ate an sandwich"
I Norway everyone know who Petter and Henning Solberg is, most people also know about Oliver Solberg:)
Maybe 30% know Mads Østberg and Andreas Mikkelsen?
I think most people don't know who foreign drivers is, exept colin mcrae of course:)

MotoGP is irrelevant for carmakers simply because they don't sell motorbikes but cars.Quote:

Rally was born in France and till the mid 70’s French drivers and manus were regularly among the rally elite; actually, the first WRC manus champ was won by Alpine Renault, with the iconic A110 driven by local aces like Andruet, Nicolas, Darniche or Thérier. After a period were F1 become locally more popular, the 205T16 rally achievements made the sport noticeable again among the French and many still remember Vatanen (probably the most 'Frenchie' of the Finns) wins with it. Before Loeb and Citroen domination era, guys like Auriol, Delecour or Panizzi also managed to impress the rally world. Btw, all French manus (Citroen, Peugeot and Renault) have been directly involved in the sport, not only by running huge profile programs but mainly for providing privateers a wide range of rally cars, from low budget to top spec machines.Quote:
