Will see how the GRC entry is shaping up. Could be tempted. Might be a bit chilly in the tent at the end of October though.

Ken Block too confirming that he'll be going back to rallying (no specified series) and doing some Gymkhana GRID races -
whatever they are?

Haha only post during the entire 'Magic Weekend' is N.O.T.

Just watched the coverage this evening. How they can try to imply Holjes is the 'Le Mans' or 'Indy 500' of Rallycross I have no idea...

There are two crossings - a bridge over the Hangar Straight, or the tunnel just before Copse. The bridge is better for the WRX track but it still a decent hike from the main carparking.

Intrigued to see how they add in the spectator areas to that. Doesn't seem like a massive amount of room really. My first instinct is that it looks sh*te but will wait until the finished version.
...

Quite ironic to see the coverage lean so heavily on the history of the sport and Lydden as they prepare to tear a page of it up next year.

Glad I managed to see the World championship there last...

Well no one can accuse that final of not being action packed. Great racing. A bit gutted for Timmy but the luck finally fell VW's way.

Is there anything written to indicate Ford being unhappy? I'd have thought the guy they need to keep happy is Ken Block! He's their marketing cashcow. Feels to me when you back a guy like Block it's...

Very close, if not thrilling, opening round. But good to see the competition is where it needs to be. Ekstrom still the benchmark due to that consistency.

A couple of points.
WHY have Peugeot...

Quest was a bit of a ropey channel but I agree this feels like a step backwards for the series.

Great addition for Motorsport TV though.

Definitely recommend getting to Lydden for WRX while you still can.

Went for a full weekend last year for the first time and loved it. Can walk around the paddock easily like others have said....

Very good for the sport to have this project waiting in the wings. Interested to see how much works Renault involvement we can expect. Or really whether this is just completely Prodrive with no...

Good for Petter. Hard work pays off. Will be interested to see how "factory" the team is in terms of branding etc.

Quotes from Sven Smeets in Motorsport News say Petter will run the team, with VW...

Sad but inevitable.

Any guesses what areas of the circuit they will use? Maybe something on the land alongside where Bridge corner used to be - and using the Luffield corners?

The whole point...

Pretty sad when a move that would be praised in BTCC gets you DQ'd in RallyCross.

BleAivano's post was the equivalent of a Rallycross false start ;)

I don't know. If you know everyone (fans and fellow competitors) are hanging on the decision then why not make a big thing of it? Engineer a bit of drama. I'm expecting Eki to race at Estering. He's...

Gigi Galli and the Kia are entered for Latvia -

Certainly in the UK Button is more famous than the entire WRX field put together, multiplied by about 10. He's truly a household name so I think he'd be massive for the awareness of the sport. It...

Really? I'd assumed it was the other way around due to Petter's gripes with PSA.

Pretty crazy if it turns out Timur never touched Topi. Have to admit at first glance I thought he'd edged him, but then on second viewing it wasn't definitive. At all. So would be interesting to see...

Have to agree with you if the popularity keeps growing. They might have to cap the tickets and call it a sell-out. Was stressful getting out and we were (tactically) parked super close to the exit!!

Here are my photos from sunny Lydden Hill if anyone is interested: https://www.flickr.com/photos/94998505@N03/albums

A 47-minute highlights package dedicated to a support series. WRC take note!

For sure I think if he'd gone down the Le Mans route like a lot of his Audi team-mates I think he would have won there too. Interesting that he didn't. Maybe it was due to his love of more aggressive...
