I feel the direction too often lacks intuition and living in the moment. It sometimes feels to me like it's being directed by a bot.

Ogier has his windscreen badly misted: "Let's cut to Evans...

We simply don't know enough of what the long term effects are of catching this virus...for anyone, no matter how healthy or young you are. It's still too new, we have only data for a couple of months...

Three completely different events, three times three Yarises in top 5. Not the reliability record many were probably expecting after 2019. Definitely not from the car, nor from Rovanperä for that...

Ott's pace was very good considering it's still early days for him at Hyundai. Taking that into account and the by now notorious difficulty to get accustomed to an i20, it's quite impressive...

I really struggle to see anything positive that could come out of running this event in any shape or form. On the other hand, in the worst case scenario it could end up becoming an unmitigated...

I don't think FIA really has any alternative there. Sadly, motorsport in this current scale will quite possibly be dead anyway in not that distant future from now (I am talking decades rather than...

Well, it's a complete no-brainer really to do the switch, win or not, no need to even think twice about it. If you would start to feel very bad about doing this kind of simple team order decisions it...

I was also reminded of this. :D

Yes it's Safari, but still modern era WRC. Difference being, apparently the roadbook in that case had two...

Yesterday's gate-gate brought a little flashback into my mind. Nothing new about Argentina & roadbook confusions. :D

Nothing away from master Loeb, but I think there is no dispute that WRC has been more competitive from 2017 onwards at least than in any of Loeb's Championship years. Sainz, Mäkinen & McRae were not...

Ogier is not a six-time World Champion for nothing. He never gives up, is ruthless and will fight like a hyena for every possible little advantage that he can gain, both on the stage and off it. I...

Every time I was watching Mads past weekend, I was once again amazed how rough and aggressive his driving style is in comparison to most other drivers. It's the same style he was driving the Fords...

I fully understand Ford's tactics. When I was watching the final stage and realised that the games were about to happen when Ogier didn't appear, it brought a smile to my face. Not because I am a...

Yes.

Regarding the other comments, I won't go anymore into the issue of comparing different incidents with the Tänak case and whatnot. That one I have explained in depth already and you will find...

Update regarding FIA's involvement in the case. Jean Todt's chief of staff Mr. Malenfer has informed me that the Tänak incident has been now reported to the Stewards. So the FIA is having a look into...

I am definitely for harsh penalties for this type of things, but in the sporting context. I have never talked about hanging people here. And rally organisers in WRC have taken action against these...

1996 Rally Portugal here

Check out from 3:35 onwards the most stupid rally spectator you are ever likely to see.

Ironically and sadly, 1995 Rally...

Ah yes lack of intonation, good point. Different drivers have different preferences, but I think good use of intonation is one of the key elements of good pacenote reading. Timo Rautiainen and Luis...

Apart from the other RACs mentioned before, also 1981 RAC had 13 past event winners. (Toivonen, Vatanen, Alén, Frequelin, Mikkola, Salonen, Waldegård, Ragnotti, Mouton, Kulläng, Eklund, Blomqvist and...

Ah yes indeed, I remember Vatanen talking during the sad 1995 1000 Lakes how he really wants to have a full season drive for 1996 and how the calendar is like tailor made for a Finnish rally driver....

This was a very interesting interview, thanks! About alcohol, Hannu gave it up for good in either 1975 or 1976. And it's funny when you look back now at footage of him from 1978-1979 for example, he...

Yeah a good point about Alén's driving style. I think in the end he was actually more at home in an understeering car than in an oversteering car, which the Celica definitely was at least when...

My impression of Kris Meeke is that he can still become a World Champion if he just manages to relax himself in the car a couple of notches somehow, it is not a question of talent or speed and the...

Oh yes, the first thing that comes to mind from 1992 is Auriol in the fabulous Super Delta and not that Sainz somehow actually managed to win the title. That was Auriol's best year by far, he was...
