Ok, this piece may be a bit UK-centric, but in all fairness, I’m an American rally enthusiast, and if I’m taking notice, then it must be a big deal. Last night on the Absolute Rally podcast, a massively exciting announcement was made about what is arguably the most important national rally championship in the world....
Last week, Jason Anthony shared some of his thoughts concerning M-Sport and their driver options for next year. In that post Jason asked M-Sport to think carefully over Elfyn Evans and what they plan to do with him. Now, it seems M-Sport did not agree with everything Jason wrote, but I am pretty sure they...
In Formula 1 they have many buttons and switches, because they need buttons and switches to: a) make the cars work, b) make the racing work, c) provide a way for an occasional “leave me alone” yell aimed at their pit crews. In rallying, there are also buttons, but none of them is more important...
With Citroen’s plans now revealed for 2016 and 2017, our attention now shifts to the next big “Silly Season” story… the fate of M-Sport’s two young drivers.

I don’t think I even remember when was the last time I held a magazine or a newspaper in my hands, but I can’t really say if I miss any of those. I also cannot really remember the last time I browsed through a batch of printed photographs, which is a bit sad. No matter...
Aaand, they’re out! But not out out, as many of us feared, fortunately. Now, I’m not saying things cannot change, but I am fully confident in Citroën Racing’s ability to rebuild its World Rally Championship programme around the new car for 2017. I don’t think this is just an excuse to dive below radars in...
Let’s give Australia and the FIA’s and promoter’s “high-profile season finale” a chance, but I still cannot imagine a more fitting end to a difficult season than to wrap it all up in dark forests of Wales, soaked to the skin, half frozen, semi pissed and completely covered in mud. At least that is how...
We preach rally safety a lot here on World Rally Blog, and we will continue to do so as long as people keep doing silly things. However, at times, there’s being safe, and then there’s going a bit too overboard. I’m afraid that we saw this today on the Chirk Castle spectator stage on Wales...
