Anybody knows when it is out?
Esapekka Lappi: “I’m excited to start this adventure with a new team. I’ve only had one test day on Tarmac, but I will go there with my mind open and not give up before we’ve even started. I am confident we can have good pace – maybe not from the very first stage, but certainly we will develop a lot during the weekend and hopefully finish well.” (wrc.com)
Every sentence from that Lappi interview begins with a positive and ends with a negative, hinting at what he really feels. It's my big worry that this will be a season where ONLY Neuville and Tanak will be fighting the obvious might of Toyota. Is there anyone out there who seriously reckons there will be a manufacturers' title battle???

No not really, with M-Sport focusing all their efforts on Ott Tänak & Hyundai being Hyundai...I don't see them challenging Toyota in the manufacturers' title Imho.Quote:

Im wondering, that is certain in my opinion that Toyota will win the MANU championship. But theoretically M-sport can be in the fight with Hyundai for second if Lappi and Breen cant deliver. If Tänak is able to fight for 1-2-3 places on all rallies, and loubet would be able to score constant points on 4-5 places or even a lucky first podium on some event and if M-sport is able to throw loeb into the mix next to Tänak. It is theoretically possible. But i guess we will see it more clearly after 4th or 5th rally.
With a bigger Redbull support for M-sport (as team?) I think several RB-supported drivers could be seen in a puma this year, both Loeb and Mikkelsen, Fourmaux can get a drive if he do well in wrc2, witch other drivers without a seat but with RB support is around?

I had a talk with Deividas Jocius about his start in 2020 Monte Carlo.
Quite a fascinating story, when he traveled to Wales rally GB with 13 broken bones after huge crash to discuss future plans with M-Sport...
I put the words in this arcticle:

Hiroshi Seiki died here, yesterday. I think a lot of you would have seen him on the stages. To many of us he was a legend in APRC & WRC and a great person to have dinner and/or a drink or three together with! R.I.P. Seiki-san https://www.facebook.com/wrpseiki
Any idea on how much it costs to redbull to sponsor all of those drivers in rally1 and 2?? I dont believe these guys are making tons of money. I'd bet is more about ideal (safety) free helmets and some Daily-Fee for footages?? Haha any idea?
I doubt we'll see anyone else than Tänak and Loubet driving the Puma with Red Bull colors.Quote:

I dont know why but Im having this feeling that the rallyTV thing is a sign that redbull will jump out as the WRC Promoter in '24... They were doing well by just promoting "their athletes" in this year's Dakar and last year's American Motocross, instead of being behind the whole series, u'know? Idk, hope its just a random thought...
Edit: oh, add to that the new Dirt Fish's Live Center too... Idk, those stuff are looking like a shift in comand, no?
I don’t get this dude again
Most of the time it seems he is happy that Tänak joined the team but then again seems he doesn’t like it

Any promoter change would be good. The current one is not actually promoting the sport.Quote:

Haha kalle's insta description is cool hahaa "world rally champion and wanna be drifting king" haha now I reeeeally want to see Kalle doing more drifting. Cmoon red bull
Watching race of the champions and Solbergs won the nations cup again second year in a row. Oliver won all his races today and Thierry lost to Oliver in the final but won all the other races he contested.
Oliver didn’t hold back at all and said “it’s good to kick Neuvilles ass today”. Clear to see there is such a beef between them
Thierry came second in all star nation team together with F2 champion Felipe Drugovich
Based on today I would say tomorrow in the individual race Oliver and Thierry are definitely the favorites.
Loeb was quite underwhelming today but he couldn’t test the cars cause he only arrived today but I’m sure he will be good tomorrow and wouldn’t be surprised if he wins
Here is the Oliver vs Thierry race https://twitter.com/raceofchampions/...TGVeFCPxTwk4Aw
Cupra built this electric car for ROC too.... Its a rallycross/rally mix I guess??
Looks interesting in a way, tho its just a smalle Extreme-E / NItroRX car

Last year the QUATTRO beat the "AMAZING 1000HP ELECTRIC NITRO RX CAR THAT IS FASTER THAN A F1 CAR"...
This year the QUATTRO beat the Dakar Audi e-Tron Monster haha

To be honest, I've said before, I wonder how much influence Red Bull actually have with WRC Promoter. Other series they cover are far better....WRC seems like a continuation of ISC/NorthOne.....evolution rather than revolution. I expected a lot more from them.
After Monte and Sweden, Tänak goes up two positions to #13, past Solberg and Latvala.Quote:

I just saw that WRC is following Lancia on Twitter…
Lancia back in rally would be something!Quote:

I don't get it. I remember reading a couple of years ago that the Lancia brand would disappear soon. They didn't have any new models and there was no marketing for this brand at all. Are they back now?
They have 1 model, ypsilon, only in italy.Quote:

Chicherit was racing a Lancia in World Rallycross.
Btw... The scandinavians are having some fun racing UTVs/SxS in Rally Sprint format.... I feel.theres "something" there.

In America red bull is runing a fun championship with these type of cars called Scrambles.
Yes new models expected, they show Pu-Ra concept as main starting point of design (new Ypsilon, new Delta, new Aurelia)Quote:
