Apology accepted. End of.

Jourdan Serderidis confirmed: Yes, he will be there with the Puma. It's a race where he has shown he can compete with the best. It's his preferred terrain and he will be keen to demonstrate his abilities.

Lets hope Sesks is hired by some of those 2027 projects.

Yes, I find it quite disgusting. Stuff like that belongs in Dakar. I highly doubt fans will go crazy for a "Ferret 1.0" funnymobile that doesn't even resemble a car on sale. The fact that many rally fans on social medias are asking themselves what brand and what model is this Rally One Project, shows that it hasn't dawned on most that it unfortunately doesn't need to resemble a model. Or it shows that those many fans would much prefer if it was a requirement.

Can't wait to see stuff like "Stake Visa Cash App Team Kick Schlesser Buggy Rally1" on entry lists...

What do you think of the williams or haas f1 car?

What do you think of the williams or haas f1 car?

I think F1 has never been based on production models, they're single seaters. Doesn't really matter if they're from a car manufacturer like Ferrari or from Williams, they're all single seaters.
Rallying, GT racing, touring car racing, are not supposed to be single seaters nor buggies or prototypes that don't even resemble a production car. It's like proposing that F1 should only make race cars that resemble road models, it's absurd, they're not meant to.
