Dirtfish
Are one of the long term aims of Dirtfish also to lift the US championship to a larger sport in America?
I like what Mr Rimmer have done so far, both on Dirtfish and his Rallycar collection!
They have hired a very good team so far, so they could do it, to get more TV coverage, and by that more money into the sport in US/Canada.
Is that their aim?
If North America would embrace the rallysport, by getting it into TV, ala WRC in a light version, it could become huge over there!Last edited by Sulland; 3rd February 2020 at 13:20.

Following the fallout of Autosport/ Motorsport News, with David Evans moving to Dirtfish, others from that stable have set up a new magazine/website called The Race. However, rallying isn't among their portfolio.
F1, MotoGP, Indycar, FE, e-sports
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

In quite a few countries you have to marke paid content to stay within the law.
What we kind of see here as that two of the main rally journalists moved from semi-promotional positions at autosport and wrc+ to an outift which might even publish fully commercial content.
We'll see how it pans out in the long term.

And on Dirtfish, I have to say the quantity of content and interviews has been pretty impressive so far.
They have really gone all-out at Rally Sweden and come up with some good comment and interviewed some new people.
But I wonder how long it will stay free ?

It'll stay free for a long time I think. Their goal seems to be to build a larger fanbase for rallying in America, you can't work on that behind a paywall.

absolutely agreed, im so glad that they came into the scene. this is the level that wrc.com should have, unfortunately they dont and now having dirtfish, i dont even care about wrc.com (not that i really did before too)
good videos, articles and interviews during the rallies, and let alone today there has been like 5 articles from them.
good job so far and i understood from Colin there will be even more stuff coming.Last edited by EstWRC; 17th February 2020 at 18:27.
