So, end of a decade. Which rallies were the most entertaining/greatest of the decade? I'll start with a few:

2015 Sweden
2017 Poland
2018 Sardinia
2018 Spain
2018 Australia
2019 MC
2019 GB
2011 Acropolis...
And we met in 2012. The last WRC Acropolis rally. Do you remember the name of the Japanese guy who hanged with us? Do you Dimviii?Quote:

Can some of you guys look at this short little clip of some mad-man named Pasi Erikilä in a bad-ass Toyota in a rallisprint and tell me what the big signs are with numbers he passes with such grace and beauty??
I'm guessing interval time or splits or something Here's the vid

I would like to know where is that stage? Hope it´s situated in Keski Suomi. Would suit as stage in Rally Finland. At least as SD... :) :)Quote:

Rallisprint is a form of motorsport where you create a track out of roads and you can drive also on rallycross cars because the way back to to the service and start of the stage doesn't involve driving on open public roads. Everyone drives two passes, with no pace notes.Quote:

Here's another old RWD incar which looks totally crazy thanks to the camera angle and lense. This is a part of the Juupajoki stage driven often in Rally Finland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2ywOOOc-sc
To keep the price of the future wrc rally cars down. How about just keep the current petrol only cars for the stages and then tow or trailer the rally cars with an electric or hybrid car/ suv or pick up ute through the villages between stages. The electric/ hybrids can be used as recce cars as well to keep the noise down during recce.
That way the manufacturers get marketing exposure for their SUVs/ utes. as well on the event. (A lot of rally cars get trailered to events around Europe etc how about just extending the trailering to between stages?
The WRC drivers could give the stage a real go if they know a team trailer is waiting at the end of the stage to get a broken car along a road section back to the service centre.
Small problem and we had to stop on stage 3. No dramas and everything is working! On to the next one!

If you want to die early, buy a helicopter and fly with it.
From what I've heard he learned flying from the people who are filming WRC for many years. Their company is based in Spa, not so far from his original home. He's also flying one of those yellow helicopters. Think he's been doing it for 4 years now, and yes, he knows you can't take any risks with a helicopter.
Thanks for the information, cheers!Quote:

The Super cars round for NZ in 2020 has shifted race circuits because someone did not look at the first circuits rules of operation. The backup circuit still needs a special permit to allow a bigger crowd than is currently allowed to attend the circuit.
Local bureaucracy gets sillier every year in NZ.

I heard an interesting discussion on a recent podcast about Toyota vs Hyundai and their different driver strategies.
Hyundai are going with their 'driver rotation' system again, bringing in a different 3rd driver according to the rally; whereas Toyota are keeping the same 3 drivers on every round.
So who will have advantage this year, especially now that Toyota has an arguably stronger full-time line-up than in 2019 ? Is it better to rotate drivers for their best events, or is using the same driver's on all rounds and their extra seat-time going to pay off ?
For Toyota we have all three drivers with possibility for title challenge (Yes Rovanpera too - I think that he can be up there). Lack of permanent Breen, Sordo, Loeb, Latvala, Katsuta, Greensmith program just made that option easier. And lack of drivers of Mikkelsen, Meeke, Ostberg and Paddon just add another step to the upper places on leaderboard. But on the other hand all three or at least the first ones could clash and make tension in Toyota's camp.
On Hyundai side the case is not any kind of different just the 3rd driver is not always the same so it's only on two guys, but tension could be the same.
But who cares, as long is there battles to the end and not normal Sunday's cruising through stages and then one Suninen who ''pushes'' on the PS.
