This will be the second time that two American drivers have competed in Finland in the same year. The first time was 1973, Scott Harvey and Bob Hourihan.

Yes, of course. Nice to hear from you again. Hard to believe that was almost 40 years ago. Time for me to make a return visit to Finland to do some spectating at the event.

As in 2001, Mother Nature has decided to enter the rally. Thus, we have the first real rally in over a decade. My prediction is that the top drivers and teams will be embarassed by their...

Thanks for the info. In this year's RA championship (6 events) every car on the 2WD podiums was FWD. No reason why a RWD car cannot do well, especially on the 3 events that he will be running. The...

Excellent video! One of the best that we have seen all year.

They are starting with Oregon. Sno*Drift would be a bit of a climatic culture shock. RWD on glare ice with no studs.

Will Orders has announced a program to compete in the Rally America 2WD championship next year.

Perhaps, some of our Australian members can tell me more...

Come on, the whole thing is bogus. It is based on FIA events, not driving skill.

Excellent thread. One of the best ever on this forum.

Not often that I agree with JVL, but he has nailed it perfectly.

Those of us who have been around rallying for a long time understand that...

Here are my top five for the USA and Canada:

USA:

1) Travis Pastrana
2) Chris Duplessis
3) Ramana Lagemann
4) Ken Block
5) Tanner Foust

Good article. Since we are in the Rally forum, I should point out that Tanner is an excellent rally driver. Probably his first love in terms of motorsport. He has rallying in his blood and I am...

Seems that Novikov must have been driving even easier on the next stage also as Block was faster again, this time by 30 seconds. Ogier and Ostberg must also have been taking it easy as they were...

Please quote the specific section of the rule book that states the above.

At least three of us logged in.

Apparently, Millen's car is for rallycross, not rally.

Your thread title is somewhat confusing. The Rally America Championship and the USRC are two competely separate championships.

Not to start a bun fight here, but the Rally America Championship...

Only European rally driver.

Plus, tires must be an issue after running three stages.

True. But he has been very successful at whatever he has done in his life.

Nevertheless, not a bad showing for someone who decided to start rallying in his late thirties.

No splits for Block but he finished 8th on Stage 11.

Block 6th on the stage. It is 3:30am here in Canada. Next stage is starting. I may not get back to bed for a while.

If I had to choose one rally, either for competing or spectating, it would be the Rallye Baie des Chaleurs in Quebec which is an event in the Canadian Rally Championship.

It may be unique in that...

Plus, he is a real nice person.

Jeez John, if you are going to continue your five year long internet bashing of Ken Block, at least get your facts straight.

There are 30 cars and only 3 of them are fwd cars.

At least most of...

Yes and yes.

He has won the Rally New York the past two years which is an all tarmac rally.

He will be doing Germany, France and Spain this year.
