Rossi will do the GB rally this year

Rally NZ was great last year, it was the first event I was able to follow with broadband (thanks to free College Broadband ) so the eye in the sky feed with World Rally Radio meant I didn't really miss anything (although couldn't get acess to €sport for the half hour highlights) but the Live stuff made up for that

Unfortunatley I wont have acess to the Live stuff for NZ this year as its on a couple of weeks early and I won't be back in time for NZ..d'oh

It should be an Interesting event all the same hard to believe that it might be the Lancers final fling..

He suffered head injuries which will not heal in time for rally
Fellow Qatari Misfer Almari will replace Al-Attiyah in the subaru impreza

As i understand he rolled out while doing promotional video. Strange that he had not been careful enough there.

Sweet! Can only be a good thing for the WRC.

Looking forward to Rally NZ again. This will be my 25th Rally NZ event I've spectated. It all started by accident when I stumbled across the 1977 event as a kid. I didn't even know what was going on but in 'The Domain' (the big central park in the middle of Auckland) the roads were blocked off for a 'special event'. Turned out to be the very last stage of the rally that year. Vivid memories of a Escort sideways through a corner. I'm guessing (hoping) it was Ari...not really sure.
Was hooked ever since.

Comment from his teammanager to the question "How many crashes has Nasser had this year?" is quite funny:

"Several. Too many. Lost count...."

A shame for driver and team....
Well these things happen....
Will have to wait and see what happens on the stages. I have my memory cards for the camera ready, and our famous (as featured on WRC.com) yearly brew of pickled onions is ready to be cracked open (and make spectators run from around us) haha.

Roll on Rally time!!!
