    I honestly think it’s partly down to the userbase of FB being mostly, let’s say, ‘older generation’. So the people at the motor clubs seem to think “everybody’s on facebook right?” and post all their videos and updates on there. Even to the point that some rally websites are 3 to 4 years out of date.

    Back on the Rally3 car here at East Riding...

    I think its weakness on tarmac compared to the Rally2/R5 cars is showing. The lower power really hurts if its dry and the roads are fast.

    It's rallying isn't it? Always seems to be behind. Most of the other motorsport series I watch, are on You Tube....it's a far better viewing experience.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Will Hill finished 22nd in the Rally3... not a great advert for the car.

    Hopefully the car entered on the MW Rally will show its pace better.

    If someone are to spend that amount on rally, they need to be shown max potential!

    22nd when 15 of those are Rally2/R5/WRC isn’t that bad, come on.

    Are you saying they should be beating them?

    The Escorts that finished ahead are several hundred kg lighter as well so very difficult to beat. One of the reasons there are lots of them in the UK.

    No, that's all true. I was just saying how it shows the Rally3 isn't a great choice for tarmac.

    Not sure what you’re expecting - it’s a lot cheaper than a Rally2 and still competitive?

    Was out on the East Riding Stages yesterday and they were fast and flowing and not nadgery at all so think its a positive he finished so high up TBH. It just looked very efficient and being narrower than the Rally 2 cars was swifter through the chicanes. Having said that I think the Rally 3 cars will come into their element on the loose.

    I wasnt expecting anything better, I was just pointing out that the Rally3 isn't at it's best on tarmac.

    The big entry on this first round of the Asphalt Championship shows a lot of people like this surface more than gravel. This may mean Rally3 sales wont be helped by this result.
