Surely, you did not think it will go just like that, did you? Rally would be a very VERY boring sport if at any given moment you could be sure that the positions are cemented and no change is possible or likely. Um, okay, we had a bit of that over the last, what was...
The wait is over, WRC is back in action again. Rally Deutschland and the glorious tarmac are ahead of us. Two stages down and it’s already pretty obvious that Sebastien Ogier is the man to beat. After all, he’s after the title and I suppose that equals massive motivation. Easier said than done, though. First...
First two special stages are over and dusted for both Volkswagen Motorsport crews. For now, everything looks good for Sebastien Ogier, he is in the lead and if the math works out he may be our new world champion at the end of the Rallye Deutschland. Ever since Rallye Monte Carlo, Volkswagen and Sebastien were...

It’s hard to make any predictions and draw any conclusions based...
Rally drivers and co-drivers do have the best jobs in the world, no doubt about that, but that job comes with a risk and sometimes a price. You do get to see and feel everything first hand, and nothing anyone writes or films can actually really compare to the real deal, especially if you are...
Lag sucks, have some anti lag. I had to, this is the music we all love, the sound that you secretly make while racing your shopping cart around the isles in the mall, or while you’re shifting gears in your daily driver… Just. Listen. To. IT.
Perhaps “zero” is a bit harsh, but it’s no secret Dani Sordo had a rough year so far, and his achievements in 2013 cannot actually be called heroic for the most part. He is also confirmed to skip Rally Australia to make room for Kris Meeke after the latter’s very convincing performance in Finland. One...
Holy missing split-times, Batman! The FIA is at it again. No, not the split times – instead, they want to change the system used to determine the running order on gravel events. According to them, current system is flawed because it allows the fastest crews to benefit by picking the favourable starting positions. This issue...
