I was one of 3 bobpilots in that clip, it was close to 60 runs in two days, noone can do that amount of runs in a bobsleigh.
My record is 13, normaly WC pilots do 6-8 runs a day.
Arnfinn, the "offical" pilot attended both olympics in Nagano and Salt Lake.

After the meeting with the drivers, Petter Solberg reported 82 ideas to improve the championship.

That's more than this forum.

The meeting called for drivers to have input after Thierry took to Twitter.

FIA rally newsletter. I've no idea where it is on the web but I expect the usuals will gather some more quotes and publish next few days. Only suggestions mentioned was to have toilet and bin stops in the roadbook and bigger service area for WRC2 teams.

French Winter Series "Tropee Andros" is shutting down after 2024.
Its funny cuz people are blaming the shift to EVs 2 years ago but its actually because theres no more ice to keep the tracks! This is so sad, we have been seeing similar stuff starting in Rally Sweden and even Monte Carlo.
Last 2 years some of the Tropee Andros were basically wet tracks cuz the ice was gone. They have been canceling rounds for 3 years already because such thing. Thats REALLY sad. It was such a fun thing to watch during December/January, when motorsport is basically non existent.

The R.A.C Rally currently taking place brought to the fore one nostalgic memory for me - Large DOOR numbers.

We have debated this here in the past, but how I wish the FIA seriously considered bringing them back.
