R.I.P. Craig. Massive loss to rallying.

The problem most manufacturers have with joining WRC is that there is so little to gain in today’s atmosphere. I feel even with Toyota dominating WRC the last few years they have gotten very little...

Interesting that nobody is talking about the lack of DMG Mori sponsorship...basically they are now running the livery Katsuta used to run.

A key point many here seem to miss. For the record - I am also part of this old geezer group, and love all the nostalgia about "the olden days" - but future will not be defined by the past.

One thing to consider is that the reign of the factory team might be coming to close in WRC as well, like it is in many other motorsport series already. WRC might no longer have full factory teams,...

Of course nice additions of Breen and Paddon at WRC, and decent WRC 2 Pro entry as well (with the new Fiesta's), but damn if that is not a weak entry by numbers. It is going to go close with 2017 as...

Like it is the state also in any other country. Only thing that can be argued is that the support of local motorsport authority absolutely sucks in Sweden. But also for this the situation is the same...

I have followed rallying for over 35 years and one thing that is always a constant is that for factory teams most important things besides being successful are marketing and technology transfer. It...

Yes it is weird that these things seem to happen every year, and it is either Monte or Corsica (or both).

Talking about numbers, I still dislike the permanent numbers for WRC crews - this idea...

What are you on about, the Paddon Monte 17 crash was everywhere in social media, with plenty of pictures and video (unfortunately), and "these days" - it was 1.5 years ago not in the 90's!

Seriously fuck Citroen for this, trash level team.

There isn't. Of course this might change, as auto manufacturers are evaluating their competition programs all the time. Still, as we have already 3 official and 1 semi-official team involved, the...

Thanks for this great story, had never before heard about this incident at Olympus Rally. Luckily nothing worse happened!

What you might not appreciate is that many people here understand some of the points you were trying to make, even if you presented them in pretty awful way. However, some of the things you don't...

11 less starters, there where couple of more entries also last year. 19 less than in 2015. But sure this is nitpicking, of course the entry is decent enough. It's just that I was hoping for better.
...

Somewhat disappointing entry. Numbers wise it's the worst ever (modern era at least, not totally sure for the early years), 65 entries - so likely 60-62 will start. Also, the non-seeded drivers are...

Entry update.

The last time a German had a start in WRC car was Aaron Burkart in a one off for M-Sport in Germany 2011...

Updated today: http://www.nesterallyfinland.fi/site/assets/files/4117/2017_nrf_list_of_received_entries_web_150617.pdf

Yes, I agree that the news shouldn't really be in the WRC news section but the potential implications of the new legislation might have a big impact on the future of rallying in UK, and might...

Very good entry, as expected. Quite many WRC2 crews have dropped out already though, looks like we have 20 crews max for the rest of the season.

Actually, DMack's every tyre is the worst...and this is not even news. Sadly the car is not so good either in these conditions...tough for Ott to really show anything...

Sardinia already has contract for 2016 though...but might very well be in danger for 2017 as the promoter want's to get rid of the island-based events for logistical reasons.

Therefore I strongly...

Hope that is not it for Lukyanuk in WRC. Might well be though...

Not sure if it is that but there really seems something "off" about how the car behaves. I really hope this is not going to be another Mini - reasonably fast in certain conditions but woeful in...
