There are several WRC events in line for an execution – one of them is, more or less, set to go if the WRC is about to introduce a new event to its calendar. According to some sources, and promoters themselves, Wales Rally GB was one of those events – by ditching GB we would...
From the press release, published today: From today, owners of DiRT Rally can race in RX Supercars that boast more raw power and acceleration than most other motorsports, accelerating from 0-60mph in under two seconds before hurtling into jumps, ruts and hairpins across a mix of dirt and asphalt.

Only silly people and their friends would ever think that some driver is really unbeatable, it makes no sense and just isn’t possible.

Sometimes I just wish for those, who have access to the Powers behind the WRC, to ask the right questions, tricky questions, maybe even unpopular questions.
