@AnttiL_WRC @TorAndreBorrese Of course the front runners study the note providers recordings and previous years incar extensively. Budgets for front runners are similar to the cost of a round of the wrc in wrc2. Leading cars fit a minimum of 2 new tyres every stage….

@KeepTheFootDown @AnttiL_WRC @eWRCresults Technically not rally 2 but Ogier was 4th overall in a fabia s2000 at the end of day one in Monte Carlo 2012

I’m intrigued, who’d pay for twitter or X (was just a little bit sick in my mouth) as it’s now called. I’m a firm no, adios, sayonara, ciao. What about you?

Take a moment today to reflect on the late but very great Colin McRae. A terrible and tragic end to a life that brought so much joy and excitement to so many people. I love this video - it sums up everything that Colin was. Flat out, full attack. youtube.com/watch?v=yvh6qr…

@AnttiL_WRC Fourmaux will be doing the last 2 or 3 rounds in place of Loubet

@jakeyorath The mk5 was the group a/wrc car

The great thread of motorsport debates:

@TobyMoody @gponedotcom 100kg of downforce I’d say

@gponedotcom 100kg?

"We are struggling with 100 kg bikes at 300 km/h, so you can't go straight and let go of the brakes. I don't know exactly when I'll be able to return, but I still believe I can become champion". #motogp #migueloliveira #CryptoDATARNFTeam #Aprilia gpone.com/en/2023/05/25/…

@MCNSport The other bmw teams were able to compete because: 1-.They read the rule book & 2-Forged wheels are available as a standard option on the bike. But why let the facts get in the way of a good story…

FHO Racing BMW and North West 200 organisers both release statements following the team's disqualification from last night's Superstock race. #NW200 #BMW motorcyclenews.com/sport/tt-road-…

@_MattDunn @SirGuyGuisborne @matoxley @motomatters Silverstone. The bikes use the old paddock anyway…

@SirGuyGuisborne @matoxley @motomatters Lovely idea but the problems both sides will have discussed at length include but not limited to: - logistics: what circuit could hold both F1 & MotoGP class paddocks”? - broadcaster/sponsor clashes - F1 tracks need diff things from MotoGP tracks (sausage kerbs, asphalt run off)

Well I’ve no idea if this is a credible source or a complete fabrication ⁦@matoxley⁩ @motomatters ⁦@_MattDunn⁩ but blimey!!!! Dorna y Liberty barajan la posibilidad de que MotoGP y F1 coincidan en un GP | SoyMotor.com soymotor.com/f1/noticias/do…

@VHSRallies Yeah I haven’t a clue either. 😂

@joemcgon Ah, I see. Curious to know where that bridge was/is.

Some serious picture issues on the 1975 Circuit of Ireland footage I've been working on. Looks like there might have been a live outside broadcast from Nutts Corner - can't for the life of me picture whereabouts this is on the site, though...

@VHSRallies It wasn’t in use by then

@joemcgon 7000 spectators turned up, apparently. Couldn't see that being allowed on a Northern Irish RAF base in the mid-seventies...

@VHSRallies Nutts corner kart track wasn’t opened till 1981 or so. Have no idea where that is though…

@MaloneMaurice Bargain

@joemcgon €55 euro plus P&P Joe thanks

Packed and ready for Galway International Rally, follow me for live updates of dubious quality. Not going: Aggie the cat

@MaloneMaurice Nothing in focus. Great effort!

Up and running

The problem with modern rallying is the cars are so boring to watch….
