Which one of you made this lol

[saco0o]

the redbull rally channel officialy gave up on wrc, eh? i mean, they have so much great 20min highlights on redbull motorsport (its more about bikes, but its always good!). too bad they dont care that much about wrc. i never understood if wrc promoter IS REDBULL or if its partner companies ("gmbh" whatever, every german-austro-hungarian have that on their brands names) but, eh, sad. their highlights used to be more usefull than wrc's own imo.

I still have this problem on my phone. I cant find a way to disable Chrome's built-in Adblock. Every other website I access works fine.

Can anyone access the site and if so on which Android browser ?

I finally cracked it after weeks of being driven mad and trying loads of different browsers !!

Blocking Javascript for ewrc-results stopped the adblock message...

Okay for now it's just a sister car to the Peugeot 208/Opel Corsa Rally 4.

Still better than nothing

[WRCStan]

Why?

Group A isn't set up for EVs, which a Rally4 needs.

They expecting this at WRC/ERC or just in Italy? How is it so great, what's the story?

[Humber]

How is the market for EV cars developing in Italy. I have yet to see a charger station rage story from Italy. "The Lancia Ypsilon Rally 4 HF is powered by a 1.2-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder 4-valve-per-cylinder engine that delivers 212 hp. Equipped with front-wheel drive with 5-speed mechanical transmission and mechanical limited-slip differential, the high-performance model is the ideal solution for all rally enthusiasts to enjoy but is also a serious candidate for drivers aspiring to victory in the R4 class and in the two-wheel drive championships."

When/ if Tesla make their small ev car some one should make a petrol engine Rally 4 version for a laugh.

How does a rally car, powered by a petrol engine, promote the 100% EV Ypsilon HF ? Is it just a case of any publicity is good publicity for the brand / car and their rally heritage is just something to make use of ?
