Rumour from Xlerate @xlerateDOTnet
No Rally GB in 2021. Latest info that we are hearing is that even N.Ireland has been unable to gain Government approval for round of the 2021 WRC in August. It is pos that Monza may be considered as the replacement.

As late as 1,5 year ago people like this would go to MSport. Now they go to Hyundai. Is it only because of the performance/results shown lately? Or is it due to a change in Hyundai approach to "customers"?
Sure performance would matter for people like Paddon or Loubet but for Bottas I think it might be about the customer approach too.
Anyway WRC customers going to Hyundai and R5 customers going "anywhere exept Fiesta" (Fabia, Polo, C3, I20....) it does certainly not look good for MSport.
I don't think many people are surprised if this is true.

Three cameras and the transmitter for All Live. It's obviously simpler to just slap on a camera and watch the footage from the memory card after the rally.
Let's say it takes 30 minutes to install the camera. Where would this time be taken from? The night service? "Sorry, you can't change your gearbox, you need to use the service time to install the camera". Or would someone be allowed to do this while the car is in parc ferme? What if the crew retires along a stage and the camera is there until midnight? In any case, the camera installation would have be done by the WRC+ crew but team members and scrutineers would have to be present as well, with possibly a some sort of "shakedown" for the camera to ensure the camera angles are right and the transmitter works. All this would for sure need a change for the regulations to break parc ferme, even if it would be possible without the technical limitations.

Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
What's the first thing to come to...
