I just noticed that the link for the WRC eshop is removed from wrc.com and the eshop (I found it through google.com) has not been updated for long time.

Watching race of the champions and Solbergs won the nations cup again second year in a row. Oliver won all his races today and Thierry lost to Oliver in the final but won all the other races he contested.

Oliver didn’t hold back at all and said “it’s good to kick Neuvilles ass today”. Clear to see there is such a beef between them

Thierry came second in all star nation team together with F2 champion Felipe Drugovich

Based on today I would say tomorrow in the individual race Oliver and Thierry are definitely the favorites.

Loeb was quite underwhelming today but he couldn’t test the cars cause he only arrived today but I’m sure he will be good tomorrow and wouldn’t be surprised if he wins

I wonder how much "quattro" is in that quattro?? and don't forget the most important thing, or rather 4, black, round most important things...

I mapped Safari Rally 1993 from press/spectator guides and a very coarse map. The rally didn't have special stages per se but I marked the "competitive sections" as stages. Very challenging, interesting and rewarding mapping project.

I dont know why but Im having this feeling that the rallyTV thing is a sign that redbull will jump out as the WRC Promoter in '24... They were doing well by just promoting "their athletes" in this year's Dakar and last year's American Motocross, instead of being behind the whole series, u'know? Idk, hope its just a random thought...
Edit: oh, add to that the new Dirt Fish's Live Center too... Idk, those stuff are looking like a shift in comand, no?

DirtFish is not returning as American Rally Promoter.....
The RallyTV......the Live Center..... the ewrc partnership....
RedBull doing virtually NOTHING to promote WRC.... I wonder if Dirt Fish is getting its hands on WRC as next promoter
