Tried to watch some of the coverage but gave up. Way too much jibber jabber and I got confused by the running of different spec cars all jumbled up together. For me, the program is unnecessarily over produced and trying to be “clever”. Andy
Have to say the daytime viewing has been much better (although slightly less impressive) than yesterday’s night stage. Lots of crashing today too. Solberg and the Belgian misery the most notable.
I like the bit in WRC (that as far as I’m aware is completely unique to motorsport) where the drivers roll over the finish line on three wheels, half a side panel missing and three and a half minutes lost but they still have to remove their helmets and tell the person shoving a microphone under their nose “how the stage went”.
Elfyn with a 15.4 second lead after stage 14. Looking good especially as Neuville waved the white flag after one stage and sits in 7th and Solberg in 4th. One more stage tonight and three tmrw to bring it home and take the championship lead.
Solberg Ogier and Evans all out of the rally after suspension failure on their Toyotas this morning Taka has the lead. This is not a drill.
Must be the day for maiden wins. Taka wins his first rally https://www.wrc.com/en/news/katsuta-and-johnston-claim-breakthrough-safari-rally-kenya-victory Elfyn retains the championship lead, just.
Not a very good morning for welsh/uk rally driving fans. Evans crashes out of the lead of Rally Croatia on stage three after incorrect co driver notes saw him run straight on at a sharp right hander at speed. Back of the field and 20 minutes down on the leader. Oliver Solberg joins him at the back after beaching his car on the previous stage. WRC Croatia Rally 2026
i used to like watching Rally Sport years ago, there was a series of videos/tapes called crash! with 2 guys that were usually tussling it out - these two... I always remember watching a pre race interview with Martin Schanche stating that he was "as well setup as a prositiute at an army enlistment office" As for current F1...dont even know what channel its on or anything about it...great vid though...cheers.
