One of Portugal's finest rally and racing drivers. R.I.P.

Yep, next year C3 upgrades and Lappi’s evolution are probably vital for Citroen future but I mostly fear they can make their long-term plans to depend on new partnerships. DS is in FE alongside a...

Honestly, it’s hard to guess. Untill last year, all PSA brands were runing major motorsport programs but after Peugeot WRX pull out and in face of Opel limited return (through Corsa eRally Cup) it...

The piece sounds a bit silly; we all know Citroen wasn’t allowed to homologate more jokers this year.

+1. More than the risk of a short term pull-out, failing this year manus title may be decisive for Hyundai long term WRC commitment; they can always run the current car and drivers one season more...

Who knows, maybe Neuville is already feeling that his WDC chances are gone and it’s now time to play for the team.

Hard to believe Tanak will leave Toyota and Neuville is still under Hyundai contract for two more years. The i20 and the C3 are now closer to the Yaris and even the Focus can win; 2020 can be even...

Todt seems also happy with Formula E, which is mainly run in coal burning or oil producing countries…

Honestly I don’t give a zhit if they’ll use biofuel in the WRC, as long the FIA avoids...

Apparently he got a better deal; maybe MSport asked him money for the R5 Germany drive (they’re always looking for it) and later his partners found it’d make more sense to invest on a new WRC outing....

Yep, entering 2 cars will always feel a bit short; just hope it could mean Citroen is planning to save a part of the budget to prepare the future Hybrid car and stay in the WRC for a long time....

Or maybe he hasn't re-signed yet just because he’s trying to improve his finantial deal with Toyota. No matter how frustrating it’d be to get more reliability issues on the Yaris, Tanak is the...

That's not a rally car, for sure. Future WRC cars will be hybrids, not full electrics. According to rumours it must be their racing car for the new ETCR series (starting in late 2020), which will use...

Yep, it looks like another FIA mess but mid season rules ‘clarifications’ aren’t that rare in motorsport; if all the other manus are now convinced that the FIA wrongly approved Toyota’s rear wing,...

Sad news. Hearing his 911 coming from the forest and seing it arriving on a big slide is one of the moments that made me addicted to rally. One of the best of his generation, even if still not...

Really sad to imagine this could be the first step for having silhouette WRC cars, based on control chassis…
The possible return of events rotation is also a big surprise. As expected, common hybrid...

In fairness, Budar complaint and Ogier claim shouldn’t be judged the same way. Budar has a point about national events being a way to bent testing limitations, which are there to help restraining...

You can be right but we’ve to stay positive and believe the top 3 will grow to a top 4 or 5 even if Ogier leaves. Hopefully Lappi, Suninen or even a younger driver will be on Tanak and Neuville level...

Citroen doesn’t depend on Ogier to build a new car; they depend on PSA board will to continue in the WRC and so far the signals are positive. Besides, Matton already said that the new cars will use a...

VW?

Somehow everyting in motorsport is related. When manus decide to put money in a new series they just move it from the existing ones. This EE project looks to be a joke, with no capacity to affect off...

Apparently, the new guy is responsible for PSA EV’s sport projects; hope this change won’t mean Peugeot will enter Extreme E, the new motorsport farce from Formula E promoters.

Amen to that ;)



I believe Catalunya organizers already admitted that 2019 would be their last mix rally.

The logic is quite simple: despite being brutally beautiful machines, current WRC cars are too expensive for national rally use and for that reason they can’t provide a large and competitive national...

That’s a silly question. The point here is to establish a viable top national category and support it as the main national class. That’s what has been done with R5 cars and thanks to it most European...

Hard to agree on that one. Allowing current WRC cars in national series is like allowing F1’s in F3 local championships; it simply doesn’t make sense. Even if they don’t take championship points,...
