Time’s up, timekeepers! It’s now time to answer some questions about time and timing, because for six months now, and that’s a lot of time, we were exposed to sub par service, missing stage times, very iffy split times, sometimes no times. Whenever Autosport features a WRC labeled story, and previous/next WRC event is at...
Technically, I am pretty sure they’ll be right there with the i20 WRC, competitive very early on, but what about the drivers. I did not want to push this little “debate” into the Juho Hanninen article, so here are some brief thoughts about their drivers programme. We all know Juho Hanninen has a limited WRC...

According to one of the comments on this post, Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala comments on Pikes Peak were collected weeks before the race, and they weren’t questioned about Sebastien Loeb personally. Which means I took it a bit too far, and Maxrally also played it well, skipping on few important bits, subtly adding Loeb’s...
Being either Mikko Hirvonen or Dani Sordo is not easy these days. I mean, it’s not actually that hard, I imagine – it’s a nicely payed job, some say driving WRC cars is fun as well, but it’s not a stress free task! They’re both driving a car that is capable of winning the WRC...
