I had a bit of downtime last night, so I decided to get nostalgic and pop one of my old British Rally Championship reviews from Duke Video into the player. I picked the 2006 season because I have always had a special place in my heart for Group N rally cars, and they headlined the...
I’ve had a bit of time to give the Kris Meeke penalty situation from Rally Chile a good think over. I know that at the end of the day, my opinion means almost nothing, but I’m doing this for fun, so who cares… right? First, in case you’ve been living under a rock and don’t...
It’s no accident that Thierry Neuville is leading the driver’s standings as the World Rally Championship rolls into Argentina this week. Despite Sebastien Ogier’s dominance over the past 6 years, this is not entirely new territory for Neuville. He’s led the championship before… both in 2017 and 2018, and both times he let it slip...
Even though we still have Rally Argentina coming up first, I want to take a few moments to discuss the rapidly approaching inaugural running of WRC Rally Chile. Is it just me, or have things been a little quiet surrounding Rally Chile? I’m not trying to cast any doubt over the event, but I feel...

First, of course, is Sebastien Ogier’s measured and calculated approach that led to a dominant victory and...

Last week, it came out that a few of the WRC drivers and team managers were laying the blame squarely on the historic rally that...
Over the past few years, the WRC silly season has left one or two drivers out in the cold. In 2016, it was Elfyn Evans. In 2017, it was Andreas Mikkelsen. In 2018, it was Mads Ostberg, and now in 2019, it’s Hayden Paddon and Craig Breen (and still, Mads Ostberg). At first glance it...
This is the week. It’s almost time. The teams have arrived in Gap, the service park is built, and recce has begun. We are just a day away from the start of the 2019 WRC season with Rallye Monte Carlo. To help us all get ready, I decided to put together a little video playlist...
