Sunny and dusty Italian round of the World Rally Championship is behind us, and with a few days delay, World Rally Blog brings you it’s picks from the photo galleries of the three “official” WRC teams. According to some sources, it was very dusty in Sardinia, very, but that did not discourage our friends, the...
One of the topics, mentioned quite often by the drivers, but then swept under the rug by the officials and partly media, was the dust. As with any other gravel event, dust was a bit of an issue for the drivers starting further down the order, but that’s not all. Fighting against the dust is...
