Here in Uruguay, a record 62,913 cars and light trucks were sold. BYD ranked 6th with 3,750 units (6% share). Chery, Jetour, and Geely each sold more units than Ford, Jeep, BMW, Mercedes or Audi.

I would like someone who:

- does the tarmac events for points, since I mostly watch tarmac rallies.
- ideally, pace notes in English, but this is more of a tie-breaker.

I had McErlean in mind, thinking he might get a WRC2 drive, but he's going to WRC1 instead.

So, any suggestions?

I failed to make a decision. So, I will support whoever wins the first stage in WRC2 this evening. It looks like Gryazin, barring surprises.

There is a Polish cable TV called Motowizja, where they show WRC and ERC. They will have live broadcast from Monte:

Is there any adjustment for driver/co-driver weight in WRC? Or does a heavier co-driver weigh you down?

there's a fixed weight limit for the car, if you have some margin u can play with that.

So if the co-driver is lighter, you could put that weight in floor-level ballast to get a lower centre of gravity? That sort of thing?

technically yes, if u are lighter than the limit u can play with ballast to reach the target weigh. practically, I think they struggle to stay under with the car only.
