[WRC] News & Rumours 2018

[denkimi]

You ever tried using GPS up in the areas where rallys take place?

gps makes a connection with satellites high in the sky. so unless you're in a faraday cage,a rock tunnel, or a thick concrete building, getting gps signal shouldn't be a problem.

just remember that what can be seen on WRC+ is not the same organizer see using tracking system. during this years rallies I follow Rallysafe system and almost no problems with it, splits are coming, gps also, so comparing to what wrc+ offers it's completely different level

Has Eric Camilli to Volkswagen R5 been reported anywhere?

I follow him on Instagram and spotted he replied to a comment on a post which asked what his plans were. I put it through Google translate and it said:

"Yes we hope to ride soon for M-Sport with the same ambition. You have to be patient and prepare yourself carefully to hope for a place. In addition, we have the opportunity to drive for Volkswagen in parallel on 2018 and participate in the development of the Polo R5."

Will be interesting to see which drivers they pick for their debut in Germany.

Isn't funding one of his problems in this business?

They need crash test also to improve the car so why not bring Camilli to the game for that.

He doesn't crash very often, just look at his results from last year, with victory in RC2 in Germany and Sardinia and 2nd place in Mexico, Finland and Wales etc

He is one of the best choices to debut the car, certainly in Germany.

VW must want him to test on asphalt. How did he get the m-sport Wrc drive, backing I believe, then was simply dropped for not being up to scratch. Surely has developed in wrc2 r5 class after but simply not good enough at the moment
