Does anyone know if the route will change from the last few years? Will the Friday stages be the ones south of Porto again?
Where is the best place to be for post rally celebrations on Sunday night in Porto?

modern cars and the touch screens.
Is the forum also for you up and down?
One moment it works and the next moment I get an error. Has been like that for a week already
yes, didn't work for like 4 days, then it worked for an hour, then dropped again for another 3 days or something like that.Quote:

I though that I only had issues, because I'm using Brave, since everyone is so alergic to blocking ads.
I haven't had any problems until today when I had to refresh the login page & resend the login data to get in. I'm using Firefox and wondered if it was a browser issue but after seeing these recent posts, maybe its a forum issue.
Definitely a forum/server issue for the past few weeks. Many functions (settings/messages/profiles) not worked for years.
Chances of PWRC returning in 2027?
For all the Rally2s to be renamed PWRC27 lol?
Aberdeen, Scotland takes another step in bid for a WRC event:

Hope not lol. Otherwise the lone pair of "R1" Toyotas will win every round.Quote:

Apparently it's impossible for new users to register here too which is a shame.
I'm thinking WRC27 wouldn't be production cars whereas Rally2 are derived from Group A homologated cars. Of course this would only work for a few years if Rally2 is to be replaced also by WRC27.Quote:

True. But I always saw everybody calling it "Rally1". Maybe "calling it" R1 is the next JAMQuote:

As an extra question, what happens to WRC2 in 2027? Maybe Rally3 becomes WRC2, which will confuse a few people, like when WRC3 was Rally2.
I can already see the PR team at FIA posting a "Class Restructuring" guide on social media with SuperRally, RallyLites and RallyJunior that nobody will understand or support lol.Quote:

Using R1 as shorthand for Rally1 is natural and only people who after all these years can't comprehend the change of class names get confused or worked up by this.Quote:

Slightly off WRC, there are some interesting names at this year's Safari Classic event.
Jourdan Serderidis navigated by Greg Munster. PG Anderson co-driving Evgeny Kireev. Jos Verstappen in a Porsche 911. A host of well-known names such as Martin Rowe, Stefan Prevot, Alex Gelsomino, Osian Pryce, Michel Perin on the list of those entered.

It's interesting what Vivian Campell says here:Quote:

My bet is he joins WRC in 2027 again.
He will have paved way into F1 with Toyota. Why would he quit so early
It wouldn't suprise me. It will be a good reality check.Quote:

I don't think he made up the illness. It sounds like something similar I have, I can't drive when it happens.
Lol, yea he made it up that his medical condition and doctor doesn't allow him to drive for some time..
Super formula + suzuks is pretty difficult combo for first outings..
Doohan, who drove in F1, was ca 4s down
