My summary of the day:

Pontus Tidemand has been really impressive.

Ostberg did well to keep his composure after the dramas this morning and had a fantastic afternoon.

Poor Mikko Hirvonen...

I've just updated the Rally America Sno*Drift Rally news feed for day two of the rally.

News Feed - Day Two

I'm a big fan of Rally America and the crews involved in it.

We think we've got it bad with rallying being a niche sport in the UK, those guys have it ten times worse. Add in the distances and...

If anyone is interested I've just updated the playlists at #Sideways TV - the poor mans rally TV channel!

I haven't found a version of the official highlights for day two yet but I'll stick it on...

I agree. Which is why I'm on a one man mission to curate some of the best content I can find. I've created a YouTube channel to gather some footage together, however amateur so that we can at least...

Always good to have well researched facts to back up a point of view but as the old adage goes; 'to finish first, first you must finish'.

If you were a team owner and were forced, right now, to...

What about a works drive in the ERC in a Peugeot R5?

I agree with Wasted Talent; Breen doesn't look like he has a massive amount of speed but he is deceptively quick and can turn it up a notch...

I think this is probably the case.

It's great to see Paddon pushing so hard to advance his career. He really does work hard in order to go rallying and deserves a break.

I haven't been to Wales Rally GB for a few years now. I've spectated and marshaled (cheapest way to see the rally) on the event probably twenty times. Living in the UK it is my 'local' WRC round but...

I'd love to see Sordo on the podium in Germany. I think Prodrive have put a lot of effort into getting a good result on this event in order to cause maximum embarrassment to the 'works' cars in the...

Great shot of the DS3 there. The rear wheel arches look even wider than usual from that angle; super wide-track for Finland!

Brilliant. Finnish rally fans always seem to be having fun.

How do people rate the chances of Chris Atkinson on this rally?

It appears he is there more for a PR exercise to build his own brand than to go rallying. He only has a few small sponsors decals...

The Extreme Video story appears to be something that could go either way. It may be that an entrepreneur with WRC experience and the technology and backing is making the most of an opportunity...

Great battle between Sordo and Solberg developing.

Amazing how Prodrive / MINI can build a car that sets fastest stage times yet can't find anyone who wants to put a sticker on the side of the...

I bet Go Fast are glad they spent so much money sponsoring two drivers who both got caught and passed in SS1!

Yep, they finally got PayPal working as there is no way Malcolm Wilson would have sent the cars out with the decals on them without the money being in the bank.

A pretty lame way to try and get...

Amazing time from Novikov and also from Sebastien Ogier. He has shown just how fast a S2000 compared to WRC machinery.

This is a good point. Choosing events is no easy task, manufacturers want fewer events (which is a good idea to keep costs down) but they also want to go to markets that will potentially buy their...

There is a link in my signature.

I really hope Eurosport can do the same for the WRC as they did with the IRC but I fear it will be to the detriment of one or the other championships, most likely...

I've been saying it for years but every type of media coverage we need can be found online. We have instant timing, forums like this, rally radio, apps, YouTube videos, people Tweeting instant...

I agree with all of this. The SWRC could trump the WRC in terms of hard charging drivers and potential battles. If nothing else Ogier will prove just how quickly an S2000 car can go and it will give...

Very jealous of you getting to go out and follow this event. Thanks for the updates and pictures.

This looks like a fair summary of the way things are heading I reckon. Although I still wouldn't rule Petter out of walking away from rallying and going to Global Rallycross.

I think Tanak is still an unknown quantity. He obviously has car control and commitment in abundance but these days they are just not enough. He has a lot of work to do in other areas but he is still...
