    Almost every time I've ever read a story (not just about rallying) about that I know something about it's been very clear that the person writing the story hadn't got a clue. Bit worrying and makes you wonder how wrong the things you don't know about are!

    Hardly big errors.

    Well, the first one is just strange wording arising from the confusion over the meanings of ‘leg’, ‘stage’, ‘round’ etc. in the context of rallying. And I suppose Damian Cole is a former champion in the discipline of rallying and in a British championship...

    Just made me chuckle is all.

    If I were writing an article on football for example I’d at least ask someone to fact check me, even though I’m pretty sure The Arsenal still play at Highbury, Manchester Rovers are still managed by Alec Ferguson and Nottingham Forest are still the team to beat... But you never know, I might have got some of those wrong

    These days I'm just grateful to get any kind of coverage of rallying in the UK national media.

    Rhys Yates will make a return to the British Rally Championship in 2021 with the full intention of taking the title in his MSport Ford Fiesta Rally2.

    Sorry that Rhys's season at WRC level was curtailed last year however its the BRC's gain to have him in 21. Will the Fiesta be up to challenging the likes of Matt Edwards/Osian Pryce in the Polos though?
    Dont doubt the Fiesta, the Polo is the one that isnt going to get development now VW are out of motorsport...

    By who ?

    And even so, the Fiesta will be getting the latest official developments by M-Sport who will be running Rhys Yates' car in 2021.

    I was following Rd1 of the Portuguese Ch'ship last weekend and counted 33 R5/Rally2 cars entered.

    I wonder how many Rd1 of the BRC will have ?
