Rally Discussion and Bar Talk Thread

X-Raid Mini is back to Dakar... not sure it will run every round of the W2RC tho.

People only seem to care about Dakar, right? ALmost no one knows that theres a full W2RC championship after Dakar.
The "same thing" happens to WEC. People know the 24h LeMans...and thats it. The Indycar suffers from the same thing with the Indy500 (tho I THINK the Indycar series is more known, based on the social media followers and youtube viewing numbers).

Do you feel WRC's Monte Carlo is the same? That people only remember this round... and then nothing more? Cuz RIGHT NOW I feel Monte Carlo is not even that big of a deal to the general racing fan. I feel we dont even have that ONE HUGE race that everybody stops to pay attention =/

Sad

Whoever knows anything about rally history... top 50 WRC drivers of all times. It's very hard to compare different eras, but this made me laugh.

#47 Greensmith and #48 Serderidis in front of Andruet (Monte winner & ERC champion) and Darniche (Monte winner & 2 times ERC champion)
#46 Therier, the would-have-been 1973 world champion (in an era with no drivers championship) behind Bourne, Kresta, etc...

Ingvar Carlsson on 41th. Well deserved.

That is called democracy ...
There is always a strong bias atrecent drivers. Many people may not even knowt he names of Darniche, Andruet, Therier ...
and yes i agree : Therier should be in the top 10, if not top 5. He was viewed by his peers as one of the most talentetd ever ...

Drivers from #40 to #31
I'd say all these drivers are worthy, but the order... Auriol #32 and behind Mikkelsen? Still missing drivers like Delecour, Gardemeister and Duval, are they going to rank better than Auriol and Munari?
I know it's not written by a journalist, but still
