[WRC] News & Rumours 2020

[tomhlord]

with Autosport seemingly going away, I wouldn't be surprised. That and the fact that David Evans did a piece at Autosport show on the cars BGM Sport had at their stand, which happened to include the Dirtfish collection they run, and DE was their at the same time as Colin and also Mr Rimmer who runs Dirtfish...

Hmm, strange times indeed.

Sorry for going slightly off-topic and if this has previously been mentioned, but Motorsport News has also been sold off https://www.kelsey.co.uk/news/kelsey...torsport-news/.

Like Red Bull.

Errrm, everyone has heard of Red Bull. And they have been sponsoring WRC cars and motorsport for years, so well linked.

So, when you heard the name Red Bull for the very first time did you automatically associate it with rallying?

If you did, you're either physic or a bit weird.

I know where my money would go.

Dirtfish is a bad name... it wont mean anything to most people and nothing which suggests rallying.

Yet you've already linked one off their articles in the M-Sport thread.

The official announcement looks like Dirtfish is a media group now:

Nine years on from the creation of the United States’ best known and most successful rally school, DirtFish is excited to announce the next chapter of the brand’s growth. DirtFish has a mission to inspire, educate, promote, and expand the sport of rallying by engaging automotive enthusiasts globally.

DirtFish.com is a rally-centric platform, focused on providing a single source for rally – and rallycross – related content. As well as reporting what’s going on around the world, we’re equally committed to growing the sport in North America.

In 2020, DirtFish will cover every round of the FIA World Rally Championship, American Rally Association Championship, FIA World Rallycross Championship, as well as key events taking place around the world.

...

DirtFish was founded in 2010 as a rally driving school. It continues to fulfill its original mission as an organisation to become the world’s best rally school, having educated more than 12,000 driving enthusiasts on the skills required to drive a rally car – and control any vehicle on a loose surface – to date.

Headquartered just outside Seattle, Washington, USA, DirtFish has more than 300 acres of property to serve as its rally playground. In addition to the DirtFish Rally School and newly launched DirtFish Media platform, the DirtFish eco-system also includes much, much more.

DirtFish Motorsports is a two-time ARX2 championship-winning team. DirtFish Performance Shop, specialises in rally vehicle builds and accessories. DirtFish Merchandise is your source for rally inspired apparel. DirtFish Events is a global team supporting rallies and events worldwide, large to small. DirtFish Giving is a philanthropic platform dedicated to supporting the Seattle community.

There have been a lot of promises over the years to cover the US rally schedule and it's only made it to television a few times. Other programs released online had pretty low production values and were made to draw in new people rather than report on the rally. It'll be interesting to see their set-up at the first rally in Michigan this week.
