Before we talk about this week’s news, I want to flash back to Portugal 2014. Kris Meeke had just thrown his Citroen DS3 off the road on SS7. Almost before the car had ground to a halt, he turned to Paul Nagle, his co-driver, and voiced aloud the very first thing that came to his...
As the rumblings about a potential move from M-Sport Ford to Citroen for Sebastien Ogier continue to grow, it makes one wonder, “What does Seb get out of this?” At first glance, it would be easy to come to the conclusion that in the best case scenario, it would be a lateral move. After all,...
Plain and simple, Elfyn Evans will be answering questions from the audience on September 26th and if you wish to ask him anything, this is your chance.
