They will take part in FIA World Touring Cars Championship (WTCC) with former champs Yvan Muller and Sebastien Loeb. They are also continuing their WRC programme with two very strong results out of two events held so far this year, featuring Mads Ostberg and Kris Meeke. They will also be involved in this year’s FIA...
Spectacular and full of nostalgia, that’s Fafe Rally Sprint in short. It’s a brief yet thrilling blast through one very specific stretch of road, used as a special stage ages ago. It does not count towards overall results of Rally Portugal but that does not stop thousands of fans to line the surrounding hills and...
What is better than the morning coffee? This is! Is it for real, or just a tease? And in either case, when can we expect to learn more? If you haven’t already, make sure to sign the petition HERE – it may not amount to much and it is just for fun, but why not...
