One photo instead of three or four, one photo will and should do. This year, Monte was about many things; debuts, comebacks, surprises and disappointments and all that wrapped up in this beautiful, shiny, icy, slippery, rainy, snowy, slushy package. Decades upon decades (upon decades) of tradition surround this event and without drama and suspense...
Yesterday I wrote a post about luck and rallying, claiming that Mikko Hirvonen does not know what luck is, but he can tell you a lot about her sister, Bad Luck and their step brother, Even Worse Luck.

Bet you liked the idea in the title, didn’t you. Same here. It would be absolutely fantastic to see Renault or Nissan on the WRC stages, but this will not happen in the near future, sadly.

Kris Meeke shone in Monte Carlo this weekend and it’s a real shame Robert Kubica slid off the road right in the thick of a battle with Kris, it would be great to see them push each other for the remainder of the event. The British driver was in his element. There were no errors,...
Poor, poor Col de Turini. Legendary pass, with so much tradition and history about it, but for the second year in a row organizers were forced to cancel it. This time it wasn’t because of the spectators, but because of the heavy snow. The white stuff kept falling all through the evening and by the...
