World Rally Championship - News - Nokia and the WRC agree ground- breaking new partnership
So, as far as I understand, it will be possible to see the exact location of the competing car on the map with your Nokia? The same map that Ralli Radio is reporting with moving dots and speed? It would be nice :-)
…and also car telemetry data.
That would be really nice, but I get a feeling already that it'll cause a few unnecessary heart-attacks, sort of like until now with missing splits.Quote:

Confirmation that BrazilWRT will be competing during Rally Australia with their MINI's!! :)
Nice budget.
Mini's ? For the moment BWRT Has always just run the 1 car.... and it was always the idea to do all events except Sweden and Mexico...Quote:

One thing that comes to mind is that a WRC car (1200kg minimum) is over double the weight of a F1 (640kg minimum with driver) car.Quote:
