WRC10 (game) will have more historical cars. I've never played these WRC games so IDK if they always have historical cars.
But Its crazy to think that WRC kinda "survives on its history". Its worrying in some aspects IMO but at this point I have no idea what WRC could do to be more relevant in nowaday's motorsport.
As I've said many times, the WRC should/could be the most relevant of all motorsports - it takes place on 'real roads' not circuits.....but for some reason it's not like that in reality. That's for the stakeholders to solve......Quote:

Its the way people consume media today so we gotta embrace this type of thing in order to see WRC growing more to the nowadays public's eyes! Hope his channel grows and more people start to do videos and clips like this. Its the only way

Who is the guy producing this amazing vids?Quote:

They are good videos. However, there has been small factual errors. Also expression of opinion through cherry-picking of facts, for example with Katsuta they seemed to give a little more positive image than I would, like for example frequent crashes were not mentioned. Another concern is that they use footage from other sources, which could lead in the videos taken down or the channel being banned.
There´s always room for improvement. But the format (?) is good I think, too.Quote:

Nothing else than rally, and nothing as closely as WRC.Quote:

Other than rallying I follow touring car racing, GT racing... rarely rallycross, I find it less exciting. I'd follow hillclimbing and cross country rallyes too, but can't do much to follow them, especially now.
I only follow WRC. I know nothing about F1 etc.
i follow f1, wrc and the belgian rally championship. and a bit of erc, dakar, lemans and rallycross.
Interesting. I always thought rally fans would follow way more off road stuff but it doesnt looks so.
What do you mean by "off road staff" ?Quote:

Like pantealex says, what? ERC? National championships? Or things like Dakar, Enduro etc.? Much is limited by coverage as well.Quote:

I only follow WRC, ERC and Polish rally championship. I also like Italian rally scene, but don't follow it closely.
I used to like Dakar, but stopped watching it when TV reports started to be extremely boring a few years ago.
Is it car-shaped or a prototype? :DQuote:

In hillclimbing you can find some of these "car shaped prototypes", I'm surprised this one is allowed in some rallyes in the Canarias. It gets a thumb up from me :DQuote:

I've raced at some EFRA events - I competed in the 2015 1:8 buggy Euros in Italy, in 2017 I raced at the nitro Euros in France and also at the electric 1:8 Euros in Croatia, and finally in 2019 at the GT Euros in Germany - where I even managed a decent result :) And yeah, all the Euros got cancelled - last major race was the GT Worlds in Miami last January. This years Euros got cancelled as well a week ago, so no major racing in Europe till 2022 I'm afraid :(

The WRC Calendar History series continues with the "new beginning" of WRC in 1997. 14 events, 400 km maximum length, per event all drivers doing all events for the first time.
Gutted :), someone got to a road going version before me:
https://www.carscoops.com/2021/04/le...ra-automobili/
My consolation is that I still prefer my version for a modern Rally 037, appreciating that taste is a personal thing :)
If they went for a restomod, I think I would have liked it, but not the mash up of 037, S4 and Integrale they have gone for. Considering that they are Italians and no one can beat their tradition when it comes to car styling, the result is quite surprising.
Coincidentally, a restomod 037 would be a fantastic exercise.
Nothing changes for me though, still want to build my Rally 037 MkII :)
Apologies, if this was put up before.
Paddon put the i30N TCR up for sale again.
His results in the one round NZTCR title event. race 1 dnf- driveshaft broke on the warm up, race 2 : 4th race 3: 1st

Also appears to be trying a different engine tuner for the i20 AP4+ before the next round of the NZRC at Whangarei.
Is there anything ""like"" the "wrc" but with motorcycles?
Enduro I guess?Quote:
