With the way things are going, if Dirtfish started a forum, I think we'd all Rok off there instead... Such a shame.

Do we have mods here or is someone willing to be one?

Seems there is none.
I can easily be one if allowed. I’m here almost all day long
Please contact someone to become a mod or let’s start something else.
I dunno if Mark is active anymore but Pino sometimes shows up here and there.Quote:

Discussion point.
Friday of Rally Portugal 2012 was much more dramatic than Friday of Rally Portugal 2022.
From a safe source, Citröen going to quit rallying, but Stellantis going to keep up with other brands.

Are we back in October 2019? I thought they already quit rallying. Also, does this mean will see Lancia back in 2024 or something like that?Quote:

No, the WRC2/Rally2 operation.Quote:

It is 12 brands in Stellantis, Opel and Fiat is obvious candidates.
I guess/hope for 1 brand in each class.

I know, I was only kidding, I'm aware that for now they're running their WRC2/Rally 2 program.Quote:

even with one new car made for rallying, not man cars will get sold.
lancia plan is to launch brand new vehicles every 2 years from 2024 on. a new ypsilon, a new suv, the new delta. also revamp the hf brand for sport sector.Quote:

Quite strange from Citroen to withdraw from Rally2 whereas their program is going well and now competing with Skoda. They could keep a joint program with PH Sport as Skoda does with Toksport.
If another brand from Stellantis comes, most logical would be either Opel as they are improving in Rally (+ some experience with e-rally) or Lancia (if Stellantis wants to make it their equivalent of Alpine)
One from the ROK family, that are spamming this forum, is out driving rally this weekend. :p
Turk Rok does well!
https://www.ewrc-results.com/results...-velenje-2022/
as said: 2024 will come new "Ypsilon" which is "same" car than C3/Corsa/208 so perfectly suitable size for rallying. I don't care which brand Stellantis chooses, I just hope that come/stay in rallying.Quote:

*Pirelli getting unfair criticism in Portugal, roads worse than Turkey.
*Heat in the car, what they can do about it, the Rally1 build,
Neat brief pre-rally vid IMO, caught the one with Gus last time out too. Both drivers more relaxed than usual media.
I started wondering, what was the reason behind removing paddle shifts in Rally1 this year?
Cost saving measures.Quote:

Two random question for you, fellas.
1- Does any of you follow the SCORE championship from america? The "Baja" race's Trophy Trucks.
2- Do you think Having Dakar's Lightweight and SSV (t3 and t4) cars in a WRC class would be a good thing? Not sure if they actually sell products in europe as they do in america, for example.
this spamming here is next level already, lol
who the mods were here? I could write and ask to help with this
I wish the Rok's would just Rok off and not reappear here
point scores from the two gravel rounds (found from EE forum)
Rovanperä 44p
Tänak 35p
Sordo 34p
Evans 22p
Breen 22p
Katsuta 21p
Loubet 18p
Neuville 18p
I've just ignored the Rokbots then set a ublock rule on .postbitim.postbitignored. Now there's ~3 posts on a page so not really as good as blocking them but at least you can view a thread without scrolling through shitty links. Thirty second temporary half-fix.

Rally's road-relevance is already out the door so tube-frames with plastic pickup truck stamps over them would look fancy and be exciting to watch on a stage but they're a lot larger than most rally cars. They're also not particularly suited to corners unless it's for a three-wheeled sliding spectacle.Quote:

In US rallies dirt bikes and UTVs are creeping in to the less stringent events. They're cheaper, simpler and have more resale value than a prepared car.
1. No, I can't relate to it. I drive production touring cars on roads whenever I go anywhere.Quote:

There are cross-country rallies for off-roaders which also allow cross-country cars in T1 and T2, so there's no pressing need to put them in WRC. Interesting though, Middle East and African Rally Championships let T4 in so good question for the appeal of WRC outside Europe, but for me keep on-road and off-road disciplines separate.
I give up with this sh*t
