I don't think it'd involve some kind of direct financial arrangement like that. But inviting and covering expenses for them to attend Hyundai supported events will inevitably result in them covering the team more and being more familiar/closer to them. Let's not forget, Dirtfish are paying one of Hyundai's drivers!

I don't believe so... just because there was an Italian event on and they covered the event - and interview with him? (Also, Hyundai was the only team that possibly granted them access to their gravel testing?) That they're so much aligned? Now they're doing specials on M-Sport so are they aligned with M-Sport? Watch out Toyota!
It's what ever is in the news, on topic and they can go out and cover!
They're even doing videos on WRC2/3 testing before Turkey which came out great!GG: "I'm stinky! I needa good shower and nice bowl of pasta!"

Would you run a business for a couple of copywriters based on they get invitations and expenses covered? It'd be short-lived. If Dirtfish wouldn't be billing for some of their work, it'd be even crazier than it seems now. And it's not just Hyundai Motorsport and Tänak. There are many more for sure.

Also worth noting how Dirtfish's website doesn't run any external ads.

I thought their ethos was to try and grow the audience outside of the normal audience?
It's just turned in to one massive internal back-slapping club.
Evans, McKlein, Clark, Donaldson etc etc.
None of these people have a clue how to reach out to new audiences. They talk constantly in 'insider' language.

Well for my part I kind of find their podcasts close to unlistenable. Compared to C.Clarks kitchen table which was "enjoyable" with just the right length, depth and engagement.
The dirtfish podcasts are just veryyyyy long babbling where they cover minimum of topics over very long time, basically just repeating what they already wrote somewhere else with no new info.

Dirtfish
One distinct thing about DF is the American audience. Stages listed in miles, ARA events with extra coverage, Sean Johnston’s column…
I like the podcasts, although sometimes I skip some seconds when they have just random chat, not relevant to rallying.
I also enjoy Evans’s written pieces and Clark’s videos. Can’t find many better people to do these things. There’s also a lot of great historical articles and listings.
I’m also… flattered by the way they have copied my concept of long route preview articles and last-minute stage-by-stage preview tweets.Last edited by AnttiL; 8th October 2021 at 11:10.
