Rally Discussion and Bar Talk Thread

The 'VHS Rallies' project is coming to an end (as expected. Thanks for their efforts), but in their closing statement they say:

Anybody heard anything? Dirtfish video on demand service? Presumably concerns the Duke Video archive? If it were Rally.TV related, the line in bold wouldn't really make sense.

Is this what was alluded to possibly? https://youtu.be/0JeYoTTXg_I?si=pshIWchU1tyY8Sbu

Quick question regarding rally podcasts or similar, I listened to the Gravel Notes preview podcast for Sweden and the Dirtfish one, and some of the Powerslide Podcast. Are there other podcasts out there, in English, worth listening to?

I'm afraid that's it for that style of podcasts, there used to be Absolute Rally but it ended a year or two ago. There is also the WRC Backstories podcast, it's more about interviews with certain people similar to F1 Beyond the Grid, there are some nice ones

There was an article about WRC in Nashville that also seems to have disappeared.

What's going on at DirtFish?

It wass spiritually an Irish event.

On again, off again, gone again, Finnigan

Do we know which rounds Ogier and Rovanpera are doing this year? In particular, do we know about Kenya and Croatia?

I just saw this said about Dani Sordo: "At one point he was the most successful WRC driver without a win to their name." The wording implies that he no longer has that distinction. But I can't think who would have replaced him.

Any offers?

If I were guessing wildly in a pub quiz, I might go for Mikkelsen in his VW years. I don't think he beat Ogier much, but he probably got a few podiums in that dominant car.

He probably won a rally since.

He might still hold that record. In terms of active drivers still currently without a win it will be someone else, but the record of rallies without yet scoring your first win is probably still Sordo up until he won Rallye Deutschland 2013

Can't understand what's the question..?

This is a quote from yesterday's Dirtfish article.
https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/the-f...econd-wrc-win/

It took almost eight years at the top level for Dani Sordo to score his first WRC win. At one point he was the most successful WRC driver without a win to their name.

That wait finally came to an end on Rally Germany 2013.

sordo had 20 2nd places and 16 3th places in wrc to his name before his first win in 2013. And then another 10 podiums till his second win in 2019.

It's a remarkable carreer, always being completely at the top but never winning.
