Two rallies down, many more to go. It may be too early to analyze things, but I don’t think there is such thing as too early when it comes to rally. Every stage and every competitive (and testing) kilometer counts. One team knows all, and I mean ALL about experience, importance of testing, development and...
One of the biggest stories and topics this year must be the arrival of the new factory team. Last year’s runner-up Thierry Neuville decided to join Hyundai and embrace a very unique challenge of being part of a brand new team – his decision was one of the hot topics last year and for a...
Screw that “potentially hazardous” asteroid, that’s nothing compared to a real shocker this morning. You do know who Sebastien Loeb is, do you. Nine titles, gigazillion victories, infintillion stage wins, Pike Peaks record holder, GT racer, gymnast, WTCC champi… OK, not yet, but soon. Soon. So, Sebastien Loeb landed on Twitter this morning.

World Rally Championship took off to a great start this year and after two events in Monte Carlo and Sweden we are looking forward to Mexico.

No matter how many news and information Citroën Racing releases, eventually everything ends up being about the costs...
Yeah, so, by now you already know all there is to know about the latest Audi. Named S1 quattro it features “series 1” size, quattro all wheel drive, 2-liter turbocharged engine and some 230-ish horsies, available in co-operation with 6-speed manual. What’s with the frown on your face? Sucked a lemon recently, or you’re just...
No, it did not take long at all. Sebastien Ogier lost his touch? Is he not interested in winning anymore? The time has finally come for Jari-Matti Latvala, Mads Ostberg and Andreas Mikkelsen to beat Ogier to a pulp? Because they finished in front of the Frenchman in Sweden. At least they, the doubters, did...
