You know what’s crazy, beside the idea of having a powerstage shoot-out? Me multitasking. It’s just not possible, it doesn’t work and if I try it, bad things happen. I am just not made for it and I suppose it will stay that way. But on the other hand, as long as I can singletask...
In case you’ve missed it, here it is: according to Volkswagen Motorsports team boss Jost Capito, team’s future is safe and is not going to be influenced by whatever comes out of the latest automotive industry scandal, also known as “VWe didn’t know, honest, but we sure are going to investigate ourselves now, because it’s...
Why Volkswagen, why? I mean, I do get some of the reasons for your obviously not so clever attempt to fool the EPA, but seriously, I did not see it coming. And why would I, right? Not an analyst or a car industry geek, just someone interested in cars and even more in motor sports....

We are now well into the countdown towards ADAC Rally Deutschland, quite possibly the best tarmac rally in the world at the moment. As the first true tarmac round in the WRC season, this one throws up a special challenge with the incredible variety that it offers. It almost seems like Rally Detuschland stole portions...
