Rally2 (ex-R5) News

Is Ingram popular in Europe? I dont know how big an ERC title is in Europe, but Im such a fan of Chris. He is chatismatic. He "looks like" a poor guy trying to rally, u'know? I like thah haha
Btw... Is he brothers with BTCC's Ingram?

It's not big outside of rallying circles. Alexey Lukyanuk has achieved the most notoriety off the back of the ERC.

I don't believe he's related to the BTCC Ingram.

They're definitely not related.

As an aside, I've long wondered if there was potential for an Ingram Simpson(s) partnership. The latter has seemingly long had newish Fabias that don't seem to get much use. Both have a relationship with Toksport. Neil funds his own fun though, which is fair enough.

There's a link in that Ingram gets his sponsored Skoda road car from Simpsons.

And they are also one of the sponsors of the NW Stages.

Some great info on the car and the costs.

Too me he looks like a boy from the neighborhood who has a dream to become a rally champion. He looked that way especially in the times when he was sponsored by 11 Degress clothing company. I like this guy too!

For info, Ingram just split with his long-time co-driver Ross Whittock.

Not sure why but it may be finance-related as they dont do many events. Ross has also had to work in a supermarket before to make a living...

Has the Polo gotten any newer jokers or is this list complete?

I must say I am impressed that the Polo still seems to be one of the top two RC2 cars, long after VW left the sport.
The Polo still is the most stable and well balanced Rally2/R5 car, and performs well on all sufaces.

I am guessing the new Fabia will use lessons identified from the Polo to increase VAGs grip on the class.
