No, dear friends and followers, guest authors are not taking away this blog from my still warm and not dead yet hands – it really is just a coincidence that two guest posts arrived to WRB’s mailbox so close together. Now, since this is supposed to be some kind of a disclaimer, I am going...
This little blog cannot give young, talented drivers a chance to prove themselves, because we’re fresh out of rally cars. But what World Rally Blog can do is give young people, old people, any people a chance to share their thoughts and ideas on the sport we all love. David van den Boom asked if...
