The black Fiestas from 2014 are no more, it’s time for new colours and new inspiration. With new driver on board, M-Sport could be in for a more elaborate year, but just how elaborate and successful is hard to say at this point. Elfyn Evans and Ott Tanak have a very respectable car in their...
Sure, it’s easy to see the road from a helicopter, but it’s a bit different when you’re sat behind the wheel of a rally car, strapped so that you cannot move and peek over the hill or a crest, all while everything around you is equally white. It’s even worse if your helmet is actually...
Officially, they’re still not in a position to confirm or deny anything, but things seem to be moving in the background all the time, suggesting Toyota is getting ready to launch a proper WRC programme in coming years. If that is indeed their plan, then we can be sure there’s a lot of preparation and...
Entry lists can usually tell you a lot about an upcoming event, and if 2015 Monte list is anything to go by, then we’re in for one spectacular event, but again, aren’t we always.

Sometimes I go by character, sometimes I go by the driver’s skills, is he fair...
Remember how I said, or rather lied, about Opel’s plans to unveil a very elaborate motor sports programme not too long ago? They did not do that just yet, according to their website, but there is still time, and besides, they are continuing on the same path with ADAC Opel Rallye Cup in 2015. They...
At this point, I don’t really care which team Robert Kubica will be driving for. Also don’t care that much about the car either. Those details will come handy later, as a side info and a food for thoughts, but for now all these things are irrelevant compared to The Fact; Kubica mailed his entry...
Deep down, under all the ice and snow, Monte Carlo Rally is Just Another Tarmac Rally, thousands of corners, narrow sections, uphills and downhill, but only on tarmac. However, due to its January schedule, Monte Carlo Rally rarely is just another tarmac rally. In fact, if this event had just one stage on gravel, it...
