My biggest issue with this shootout (that's not a shootout) is that times are adjusted to create artificial entertainment. And I think it really goes against the integrity of the sport to adjust the...

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the only significant difference between Group A rules and WRC rules (at least initially) the number of cars a manufacturer had to produce in order to be...

I would love to see this, it's probably top of my wishlist, because I think the cloverleaf format has lead to generic events rather than events that have character and can create a higher profile....

ok that might explain it. cheers Jan. I know of a few spectator restrictions here where a stage is run through forestry, but generally most are held on public roads so spectating is basically free....

Sorry this is a bit off topic, but I'm just curious as I often keep an eye out on local & national events from other countries, and i've noticed so often that full maps/itineries often aren't...

Was this NZ clip the same clip where there was a funny moment when he makes a mistake and runs wide on a corner and then apologises to Seppo because he had been trying to wind up his window? (it was...

Last time for the northland leg with some careful planning we saw 5 different stages (watched just the WRC + S2000 cars - not the full feild) plus made it back to auckland for the latter half of the...

Normally they'll release a programme with maps/itinerary etc well in advance. In the past they have classified spectator points as being either 'prime spectator points' or just 'spectator points'. in...

what I mean is, maybe you could sell more cars to the Chinese by having a rally accross Antarctica, rather than having a rally in China. I know which one would get the bigger exposure, and it has an...

Is it the be all and end all to have an event in an emerging market? For sure it’s helpful, but I think, and maybe someone can correct me, that one of the biggest attractions to the Japanese...

Agree, I personally found the tech section to be interesting reading, especially starting out.




Do you have a motorsport manual? If not then get in touch with Motorsport NZ and get your...

Yes i'd forgotten about that, the end of october...

Farms are awesome to practice a bit of car control on I reckon. I certainly never worried about tyres too much back then, just jumped in a...

I may be wrong but I think you can run any tyre legally on the road as long as it's DOT rated and fits within the silhouette of the vehicle when viewed from above. So if you can find something...

Don't quote me on this but I think I read somewhere a long time ago, from memory it might have been David Lapworth explaining, that when the throttle is closed the compressed air, having gone through...

cosmicpanda, i'm sure you've seen what Reg Cook is driving

at least you don't have to stick your name in the side window :-)

agree completely on this one!

I would like to see organisers encouraged to run events in a format that best suits their particular country, instead of having one standardised format the world over...

needs a Sabelt harness too...

Here are a few photo's from Wairarapa if anybody is interested.

cheers.

think i might be missing it too, bugger. first time i wont be at the international for quite a few years

cannot get friday off work, and having had no work for about 7 months $$ is a little tight....

I believe that the first part of that is true. it's the same as any 4wd car that doesn't have a centre diff capible spliting the drive between the front and rear. such as the diffs in the group b...

Cheers heaps....some good comments

Zico - they are not from photos. i have a hard time of finding exactly the right photo for what i want to do. but i do get reference photos for the cars and...

hi guys

sorry i dunno if this is strictly world rally championship, but i didn't know where else to post it.

i was just looking for some feedback on these pictures i've done - from people who...

hi
does anyone here know how often the satilite photos on google earth are updated? if not, where can I find out? (i am looking to find out for new zealand in particular, but anywhere would be good)...
