Thank you! Yeah you really could hold a Norwegian Monte Carlo around there, Rally Sokndal south of Stavanger has had some cool roads.
Lofoten area is next on my list i think! Had some GPS connection issues with the drone on the trip now and then so didn't get to follow the Flåm train for very long
(Drone stopped after 30m)

WRC10 (game) will have more historical cars. I've never played these WRC games so IDK if they always have historical cars.
But Its crazy to think that WRC kinda "survives on its history". Its worrying in some aspects IMO but at this point I have no idea what WRC could do to be more relevant in nowaday's motorsport.

As I've said many times, the WRC should/could be the most relevant of all motorsports - it takes place on 'real roads' not circuits.....but for some reason it's not like that in reality. That's for the stakeholders to solve......

Talking about 'relevance'... FINALLY I found someone on youtube doing these "modern videos" about WRC like F1 fan pages have been doing over the last 3 years... and its working preeetty well for them, we gotta admit.
Its the way people consume media today so we gotta embrace this type of thing in order to see WRC growing more to the nowadays public's eyes! Hope his channel grows and more people start to do videos and clips like this. Its the only way

Who is the guy producing this amazing vids?

**AnttiL** · 16th April 2021, 08:50

Ken Järveoja and Gustav Kruuda.

They are good videos. However, there has been small factual errors. Also expression of opinion through cherry-picking of facts, for example with Katsuta they seemed to give a little more positive image than I would, like for example frequent crashes were not mentioned. Another concern is that they use footage from other sources, which could lead in the videos taken down or the channel being banned.
