I'm afraid Dirtfish are proving they know very little about racing; he was just about average to be honest. We know he has far less experience, but needs to improve a lot more. Fortunately, he has more races to get up to speed. - and at the end of the season we'll know a lot more. It's all about seat time.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

In some of the material from the new Fabia Rally2 premiere it is specifically mentioned that the new screen (behind the wheel) can play videos.
Most likely so they can play onboards on that instead of tiny phone screens like they mostly do now.
What's next in 5 or so years?
- map/gps on the screen (kick co-driver?). Well I do this in a roadcar when driving on an unknown road, but then again we also use automatic gearbox while they don't....
- How about watching the onboard and learning to turn-in at the correct time by using the steeringwheel-input compared with some calculated "perfect" trajectory?
Sci-fi? Well 5 years ago you had people here claiming how drivers can never learn all corners of a stage. Now it's basically standard.

In nordic offshore racing, 15 -20 years ago you had to use your brain and paper charts. Nowadays (well, since 10 + years) they all use GPS in the archipelago , which make an ape could be navigator.
Let´s hope we don´t see that in world rallying..."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

GPS is no good for pacenotes and won't help you change a wheel or help manage your rally. I don't really care if it's used on road sections, can use a phone anyway. Besides, if they rule out ABS, traction control etc as driver aids they could do the same with gps.
A screen is nothing new and just as cheap as any other dash and dials but with possibilities. Tough if they have time in a rally to sit and study onboards, something is wrong with the itinerary.

Good find! To be honest, the official WRC merchandise has gone very downhill (design wise). Atleast from what I could see in their official shop in Sardegna service park. I suppose they changed their supplier/designer few years ago... The things they offered 5-10 years ago were way more interesting and eye catching. Nowadays it's just clueless.

haha it amazes me how bad "motorsport" merch always is. I prefer the simple ones, like
