World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[N.O.T]

Loeb has won on Track and in Rally and quite likely he will win in RallyX... so Loeb.

Nice win by Ekstrom.

Good race again, Ekström is very strong.

Shame about Bakkerud, he was very fast in the heats and the semi-finals, he could have fought for the podium, maybe a win. Anyone knows what happened in the finals? It looked like some technical issue with the Focus.

Ekström fastest allround driver in the world? At least Swedens´.

Fastest allround driver in the world with the name of a tree? and a creek? in his name?

Dags for en mukki te.

Dags for en mukki te.

Ek, oak = strong
Ström, vihrta = creek, power (electricity) = fast as en electrons going in cicles (you know, racing I think it´s called).

Now time to sleep. Work on NPP morningshift tmrw.

He's not making it look quite as easy as some people said he would though. Okay so this weekend he had reliability problems, but he often didn't seem to have the pace of Solberg and Ekstrom. TBH I think his style is still too reserved to really excel at RX, he needs to be more aggressive.

Was a good weekend, interesting to see a S1600 roll and then a lap later another car roll, land on the first one and burst into flames! Some great racing, think Solberg was a cut above everyone else but ran out of tyres in the final. Also a shame that Bakkerud had an issue as he'd seemed quick. Wasn't to be for the Brits either, seemed like Wilks had a load of understeer and I think he may have been quicker in the 1.6 Mini last year!

Not many photos as I mostly just watched, they were also mostly crap so have been through the Windows 10 editor very quickly, here's a couple though:

Loeb will not succeed in WRX, he hates dirty tactics, that was evident in the final were he backed off from 3rd position to avoid hitting anyone. He might win an event though if he gets good momentum.

You might be right - a bit similar to the WTCC; were you have to bump & bash to succeed - and it's just not the way he races.
I actually think he'd be more suited to the WEC.....

Does anyone know what is happening with the Gigi Galli Kia programme for this year?

Did Galli kill off the project, or is he still sorting it out?
