About Gigi Galli; heard that Gigi Galli and his team were visiting the WRX round in Hell. Apparently while they were there, they were looking for somebody that could build their Kia ...

Stohl proved you can build a car without history in rx.
But I think in contrast to Galli he has more experience in building/running rally cars.

(or did Stohl not built his own cars?)

I agree with you though, rallycross cars should have plastic only where the lights are sitting normally on a regular car. Love it like it is on the Walfridson Clios. Make the cars differ a little bit in the looks from rally cars

I would imagine the reason is for the make.

A bit like in bike racing now Superbikes ahve to run a fake light decal to mimic their light setup.

I would guess KIA have some input financially into this car adn want their base car light decal on there.

I have no issue with it, its stupid but what are you going to do.

Let me make clear. I have nothing against fake lights but the ones at Galli's car don't look good. I like them on the Hansen Pugs en EKS Audi's.

From all the news about this car I got the impression he has backing but on the car itself are no Kia stickers. So don't know. Maybe they only supplied the chassis but no other backing.

So cars don't have brake lights? What if it rains? And how can drivers see anything in twilight like in Trois-Rivieres?

Not to mention plastic lights look worse that plastic breasts.

Break lights are in the back windows like they've always been in rallycross cars.

Glad Hanson had a bad weekend. Got away with a lot of bad driving last few events. Blind eye from the promoters to keep title race interesting ?

I'd had similar thoughts myself, Barrie. Why is it, for instance, that the Hansen family are always featured in the spotters' tower and not the other teams (so much)?

That said, it's been very exciting the past few meetings having the title gap to Petter being whittled away. Contrasts nicely with the F1 boredom train, proceding predictably to a Mercedes win. Again. Yawn!

Looking forward to seeing the highlights on terrestial TV, as the live streams buffer too much to be able to watch the action. Agh!

Cheers, Steve

'Why is it, for instance, that the Hansen family are always featured in the spotters' tower and not the other teams (so much)?'

1. female
2. blond
3. emotion
4. results and driving habits of driver

I has become a tv-sport, fairness and logic are out.
