Well he's picked EnduroGP as opposed to Hard Enduro which was run by WESS, which is owned by the Peirer Group, owners of KTM.
endurogp looks interesting. its the closest to a "wrc" version for bikes haha maybe now with kalle's team there i can try to follow it more
Yes, it's basically the 2 wheeled version of special stage rallying. It's not easy to follow, but has gotten better in the last year. Highlights on You Tube, and the Friday Night special test streamed live. Also previews from the FIM track delegate, who rides the tests.
Here in Uruguay, a record 62,913 cars and light trucks were sold. BYD ranked 6th with 3,750 units (6% share). Chery, Jetour, and Geely each sold more units than Ford, Jeep, BMW, Mercedes or Audi.Quote:

have not found Forum Rules so dont know if it is allowed... if it is not, please moderators remove this post
is there any place where we can watch WRC live for free?
I failed to make a decision. So, I will support whoever wins the first stage in WRC2 this evening. It looks like Gryazin, barring surprises.Quote:

Is there any adjustment for driver/co-driver weight in WRC? Or does a heavier co-driver weigh you down?
there's a fixed weight limit for the car, if you have some margin u can play with that.Quote:

On the last point: Toyota was under it from the beginning, Hyundai was struggling or so it was said.Quote:

The combined minimum weight of the car (under the checking conditions mentioned below and with only one spare wheel) and crew (driver + co-driver) is 1350 kg.
When two spare wheels are carried in the car, the second spare wheel must be removed before weighing.
Checking conditions
This is the real weight of the car, with neither driver nor co-driver nor their equipment.
The equipment comprising the following :
• Driver’s helmet + head restraining device
• Co-driver’s helmet + head restraining device.
At no time during the competition may a car weigh less than this minimum weight.
In case of a dispute during weighing, the full equipment of the driver and co-driver (see above) must be removed; this includes the helmet, but the headphones external to the helmet may be left in the car.
Ballast
The use of ballast is permitted in the cockpit in the conditions provided for under Art. 252-2.2 .
Ballast and its supports may be fitted in volume Vh (see Article 211).
Question for the experts: When was the last time that four world champions were at the start of a WRC event in the top category?
off the top of my head '98 RAC had at least 6 world championsQuote:

Thierry Neuville to drive a BMW M3 at the Legend Boucles a Bastogne 2025.
He has a very nice M3.Quote:

It seems that Mark Wallenwein is the pilot/driver who does the recce for Hankook (Hankook recce website).

Just announced this morning, Ford will compete in the 24hr race of Le-Mans in 2027 (and effectively will join the WEC that year).
It is beautiful:Quote:

A bit worrying as Ford isn't flush with cash and WRC support may have to go...
You can't race Le Mans on it's own; they're entering the WEC.....and very likely IMSA in the following years.Quote:

In 2025 it is allowed to do some Remote Service Zones, like in the past. I think they tried it at CER Rally in 2024 on the Czech side on Friday.
Recently there were some articles on Dirtfish about a possible WRC Event in UK/Scotland.
https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/what-...uld-look-like/
https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/feasi...return-begins/
Based on that, I tried to make a route with a service park in Aberdeen, Ceremonial Start in Edinburgh, SSS at the Knockhill Racing Circuit. It was important for me to put in some legacy from the classic RAC events in the past. For that I put together some park stages as well. The rally should be a forest gravel event – what else.
Day 1 around Perth (Knockhill Racing Circuit - Perth - overnight halt Perth, remote service Perh Airport like in the IRC days)
Day 2 northwest of Perth - road section to Aberdeen
Day 3 southwest of Aberdeen
Day 4 norhwest of Aberdeen
All stages, except one park stage and the Shakedown were used already in the past as a rally stage. The stages are from Events like: Speyside Stages, Grampian Forest Rally, Rally of Scotland (IRC days), Colin McRae Forest Stages Rally and Knockhill Stages Rally. I tried to connect some stages, made it a bit longer or shorter, sometimes with different start and finish areas as run on the events above.
In total the competitive route includes 21 special stages with 348,38km. The total rally route is 1406km. The distances are not that exactly but I did the route with mapfab and I think the distances are not that far away.
I would like to hear your opinion about that fantasy route and maybe some locals can say if these stages are still possible and are available for rallying?! In Kirriemuir, near the Bon Scott statue, I placed a refueling zone during the road section. ;)
Here is the full itinerary and the rally map.

Great idea! Lots of fantastic stages in Scotland all across the country. Perthshire and Aberdeenshire offer great forests right enough.
I would probably go a different way and pick a route across the Trossachs stages and Argyll forests; brilliant roads with plenty of elevation in classic Scottish countryside.
But there’s plenty of other great routes using other regions too.
Unrelated to Rally but the Race of Champions is back this weekend after 2 years hiatus in Sydney. Not as cool as it was in Sweden back in 2023 but still cool.
I would rather watch paint dry than this

So pretty!!!
If only it had an engine in it, ready to head for Rallye Monte-Carlo 2028…

new game! more "arcade" but I loved the visual
Great work, but you missed out THE best rally stage in Scotland - Drummond Hill! Possibly only second best to Grizedale West in the whole of the UK. I would suggest that instead of Griffin.Quote:

When did wrc.com get a makeover? It now loads the same day for me.
I noticed last week that FIAERC.com was refreshed so I assume they were done at the same time. Much faster and nicer looking.Quote:

hahaha THE REAL FUTURE OF RALLYING. so cheap, mate... SO CHEAP
idk if its just me, but I loved how the new zealand championship builds up the story on their highlights. its really simple, i dont even understand. sure, you gotta be open to just "ok, let me watch these 20 minute and understand who these fellas are", sure... but yeah, it gets really cool until the final fight on the power stage.
