Calling anything certain or safe in relation to Rallye Monte Carlo is just silly, at best. Because this particular rally will just take your safe prediction and certain conclusion and turn it upside down, inside out and then chop off its head. Remember those cries of joy after Sebastien Loeb’s SS 1 stunner, the king...

Let’s play a bit of a devil’s advocate here. Sebastien Loeb had it a bit easier on the first stage, starting well down the order and probably hearing a wee bit of information or two about the conditions and struggles of the other drivers. Even if no such information reached Seb and Daniel, they probably...
The idea behind it was great. I hope this will become a tradition in Monte Carlo and maybe elsewhere too. Live stream of events, taking place before the rally actually begins, with rally crews, rally cars, VIPs and known figures, is a great way to start the new season and bring the atmosphere to millions...
World Rally Blog joined the WRC+ family of fans today. I thought I should pay up and see what this is all about, since I am actually writing and pretending to be clever and witty about it all. I’ve decided to go with a monthly option, which costs 5€ per month. If you want to...
Every year it’s the same thing. You can hardly believe we’re days away from the start of the new season. It feels like last season ended only days ago. It’s fantastic and I wouldn’t want to trade the start of WRC season for anything. We barely had time to abandon all our new year resolutions...

Anything that uses gray and orange, or at least orange, immediately gets 6 out of 10 points in my eyes. Even though I really enjoy other colour combinations, something about orange, gray, maybe a hint of red or a touch of black gets me every time. You could literally sell me anything, if it’s wrapped...
There is something about Sebastien Loeb, something hard to describe, that makes you think of him as a supernatural being or a creature from another galaxy – perhaps it has something to do with nine titles he’s won, or maybe it’s about him being fast and competitive in so many different disciplines. Even though World...
