[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

[rallyace]

Introducing another subject and not necessarily related to Mads crash on recce, as we were discussing in another topic the driving of participants on road section I came across a video I found very interesting and I would like to hear your opinions on this. How can the organizers control these kind of actions?!

Cross red light - Check
Drive a good 200 metres on wrong side of the road and cross red sign - Check.

Very interesting video, good find. I wholeheartedly agree that this is something organizers need to address for future rallies, regardless of how few accidents actually occur as direct or indirect results of this. By driving like in the video above, the message that is put out can only be harmful to the image of rally drivers and how they're perceived by the general public.

... and then there's Jari-Matti's liaisons, hehe. Abiding local traffic laws, nice to see, eh? And maybe it's just me, but I can practically see him waving back at the locals around Trier in this video from 2013.

Superb pictures of the new i20. On looks alone it has a lot more bite to it than the current one, and I think that is great to see. With its new specifications it has the potential to be a serious contender in 2016.

I was there on the stage.

I thought it was spectacular and my first experience of night rallying.

There wasn't any dust where I was - the 5 minute gaps allowed it to clear quite well.
