I think we should have one.

3 Rallies to go in the 2022 World Championship, Rally NZ will start today.

Flying through forests at 180 kph is no joke, these guys and girls are fascinating to watch.

I get in a sort of trance watching these drivers. It used to be I could find rallies on television but that was a long time ago. Don't know how it is for the rest of the world.

There is a 30 minute summary of every day's action on redbull.tv I think this is available globally.

Rally New Zealand

The Repco Rally New Zealand returns with the best gravel rally roads in the world.

WRC is also planning to return to the US, possibly with a Rally in Tennessee in 2024.

Half an hour until the new season kicks off at Monte Carlo. I'm hyped!

WRC has done such a great job of honoring Craig Breen. Just fabulous. The drivers have been so awesome. A tough weekend, but special. I was in tears when I learned that Toyota pulled Evans from Manufacturer Points consideration. What a beautiful move. Ott has been particularly powerful. This is a great form of motorsport.

What happened @Revman ? Kalle isn't in the mood to drive one of YOUR GR Yaris full-time next year?

You are aware that he is signed long term, right?

Yeah, I was relieved to hear he'll be back full-time in 2025.
It kinda sucks that the two current best drivers won't be competing for the title next year though.
No matter Thierry, Ott or Elfyn wins the 2024 championship, there will be an asterisk next to their name.

I hear you, but you can only race those who choose to participate. I think if Elfyn beats Thierry and Ott....he's done something. Tom Fowler is a freaking genius. My two cents is that Kalle got tired of the road order BS, and said screw it. I found it particularly interesting that he mentioned looking forward to good road positions as a part timer. I'd like to see Theory kick Ott's ass and race Elfyn for the title.

I am happy that WE have all of our drivers for the Manufacturer's Title.
