    We, who have always enjoyed the sport, can only hope for the best.
    Those in the sport have told us for years that Endurance is no longer relevant in modern day motorsport.........

    The evidence tells us quite the opposite....and today, yet another manufacturer joins the FiA WEC......

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Coming also Alpine/Renault, BMW and unofficially also Acura (which is already very successful in IMSA) in 2024. So there is evidently interest in racing by manufacturers...but not for WRC. Sorry for off-topic.

    Mikkelsen doing more rallies with toksport, aiming for 6 rallies this season, Finland and Estonia also, he hope to do some impact on the competition.

    Solberg says he’d rather be the quickest driver in the category than the champion:

    Why not?
    You can learn to be more stable, but it is very hard to ,,learn'' raw speed..
    Yes, Mikkelsen won the WRC2 title and this year is repeating ,,smart driving'' all the time.. but pacewise he isn't near for dominating the series..
    Same with Lindholm, reigning WRC2 champ, but let's be honest, times don't show it.

    Agree 100% and most of the team bosses will probably look at the things on the same way.
    Speedwise Oliver is head above the rest and he needs one more season to progress and learn and then he will be in Rally1 car for sure.

    They always claim it's easier to make a fast driver reliable than to make a reliable driver fast.
    But many drivers never achieve both. Team bosses don't want drivers that crash too much.
