How can they get the scoop on an event being organised by another motorsport media company that the chief editor walked out on? They're a Rally School branched out to web media with good contacts in the service park, playing their part and balancing their position in the WRC PR game with what we can be honest, is approved or obvious news. This ain't politics, it's PR. After about 5 pieces of 'actual journalism' an 'actual journalist' will run out of actual sources.
We're here at the same point again where a member of MotorsportForums attacks anybody doing anything instead of doing something themselves.

Autosport International was just an example. There are quite a few more legitimate reportages they could have pushed on (ie sending someone to cover M Sport's Arctic test or having info from today's Hyundai one), instead of connecting everyone and their mother with the Hyundai principal job or green lighting a clearly manipulated vote.
Just my 2 cents. Don't really have any beef with Dirtfish, but they seem to set themselves up as the premiere destination for rally news. Useless gossip ain't needed.

When questioned on the timing, one source told DirtFish earlier this week: “Yesterday. That’s when it needed to be done. In fact, a week yesterday.
“It’s almost 10 days already and no movement on this is bad. This is a crucial time for the team and a time when the team needs leadership.”

Yes, that's clear but the wrong way to go IMO when you compare it to WRC2 Junior. No consistency, a 25yr old in WRC2 is a Junior. A 25yr old in WRC3 might be a Junior, it depends on whether s/he paid the dues and did 5 specific rounds. Try explaining to the kids if an unofficial Junior wins the open class. Messy.
Also what happened to the Rookie cups?Last edited by WRCStan; 19th December 2021 at 13:18.

The question is, how well placed is that source? How well informed?
The way I see it, the team needs to get its house in order after a couple of years of Adamo. You don't do something like that overnight. He was running everything there, they'll need a couple of people to do what he was doing all by himself, which won't be easy.
Not important, but nice to see that he has still the ability to drive fast
