Dat luck. She’s not a lady, not at all. What she is I won’t mention here, but it’s not nice, she’s not nice, turning her back so cruelly on nice guys like :: insert any WRC driver name here ::. Elfyn Evans, Robert Kubica, Kris Meeke and Jari-Matti Latvala. All crashed. Rally as it should...
I must say I am completely totally sure you could not care less about how my day went, but I’ll say it anyway. Instead of being glued to the PC and/or WiFi, listening to WRC Live and refreshing stage results, I got to do something completely different. And thankfully, it was very boring. With the...

The weekend of Fafe Rally Sprint in Portugal and Acropolis Rally in Greece was also the weekend in which World Rally Blog made the switch from one server to the other – engine swap if you will. Thanks to wonderful people over at Nilmedia, the operation went well and now the site should be a...
Remember the “huge” scandal which involved then-Citroën now-M-Sport driver Mikko Hirvonen and then-privateer now-Citroën driver Mads Ostberg?
