This might not be news to some of you, but it certainly was news to me. In the time since Rally Sardinia, I have drifted away from the WRC news scene a wee bit. I figured that around the week of Neste Rally Finland, I’d get back into the swing of things, catch up on...
This is one short but sweet. Former, current and future WRC contender (in various categories and teams), Norwegian Mads Ostberg gave his Citroën C3 WRC a proper push up the short Goodwood hill (which is hardly a proper hill, but the place is iconic enough not to nitpick!).
(M-Sport authored Press Release) M-Sport and Ford are proud to introduce the all-new EcoBoost-powered Ford Fiesta R5.

Despite Sebastien Ogier’s dominance over the past 6 years, this is not entirely new territory for Neuville. He’s led the championship before… both in 2017 and 2018, and both times he let it slip...

The dust has barely settled from an amazing 2019 edition of Rally Mexico. As I reflect on the events that have transpired over the course of the weekend, there are so many outstanding performances that come to mind.
