[WRC] Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2026

Amazing... Neuville has the lead again going into the final stage. Imagine the pressure not to blow it again.

Pretty much game over for wdc for Ogier now

probably. especially is he doesn't do all the other rallies.

now we'll have to wait and see if neuville fucks up again.

Not necessary. You see, Hankooks are pretty much terrible everywhere, there is so much lottery becoming prctically everywhere, not just last year on Saudi, when we all think there is too much roughness there. It's quite obvious it's the tires who suck. Funny thing is that no one complain about them, almost looks like someone told them they can't shit on that brand. Pirellis weren't good, but was way better than this joke. The best showcase is Ogier, as he was always good at managing his tires, and he struggle a lot with them these days.

By the time these kids have grown up their passion will be taken by other sports that they watched.

So be it. Know what you mean. However a passion doesn´t leave you that easy.

As they've put Rally.tv on Pluto TV, they should promote this more as a free way to watch more WRC including some live stages.

Or pay those 120 Euros and just enjoy, knowing you get the whole experience.

Stage end interview with Virves when he won the stage https://x.com/OfficialWRC/status/2053414488561336603

.. and after that, on the next one, he was 25 seconds faster than the next RC2 car. Road situation may help, but after Friday, he has something to prove as well.

I've recently got into a league of a different sport that I wouldn't have gone near had it been difficult to access. Every game is free to watch on YT, provided by one of the big pay-for broadcasters, so I know they're trying to blitzscale it, it's not sustainable and there will be a point that they switch to pay access. But now I know the rules, players, teams, form etc... I might just pay it. So it could work for WRC. However, there's no indication that there is a pressing need to 'grow the WRC' from within. It's always a fans' conversation. It's never going to be mainstream, is it?

And when 30/40/50 year old men who have been rally fans for decades start whinging about how it should be free... I dunno... I just feel sorry for them. They're an embarrassment to the sport and probably why the cool kids don't want to be associated with it.

Did he just say "Puta mierda"?

Watching Ogier's push on PS, I need to admit that for the entertainment and the show on the PowerStage there is a need for 2 retired champs - Rovanperä and Tänak.
