As we gear up for Wales Rally GB, I want to discuss something that has been nagging at me for a little while now. It’s the topic of WRC rallies requiring tickets or spectator passes for fans to gain access to the stages. Wales is one of those WRC events that has an extensive ticketing...
Yes, anything is still possible, as we were reminded several times on the Red Bull broadcast this weekend.
