It's very interesting to see Honda joining rallycross, and OMSE leaving Ford.

Is that a Civic coupé or a hatchback?

Yeah, but my point was not about the Focus itself. AFAIK the Fiesta was no option for them and I had info for weeks that they would come with the 2016 Focus RS. However, the journos did not listen carefully enough to Block, but instead claimed what they expected him to do.

Well Autosport strengthened my beliefs but I won't guess wrong again

Core Autosport, which runs the Porsche GTLM program at the IMSA Championship, will enter two GRC Lites for ridebuyers.

Tanner Foust confirmed today that he's racing with Andretti again for the season.

This year's Bug:



I'm not a huge fan of the Beetle, but I think that looks pretty good.

Well as the saying goes - "You can't polish a turd". The Beetle is a pig ugly car to start with, at least with that spoiler on it you know which end is the front

Personally I think is a decent looking car.

Looks a damn sight better than Ekstroms awful box arched Audi's and the even worse box arched Austrian Fiesta's!!

It actually looks balanced, more than most current Supercars other than the 208 which looks awesome

The Beetle is better looking than the EKS Audis? Now I know you're trolling the forum.

Those Audi's are one of the ugliest rallycross cars I have ever seen, worse than Doran's awful camo and almost box arch DS3 and the Austrian box arch Fiesta's, some thought could go into these wide arch styling things.

or better still, let's have normal width cars eh, make it a little easier to pass, there's an idea eh!

All the Beetles I have seen at least look like the normal car in most ways!

The current Beetle looks great, except for the square bonnet. The roofline is perfect, unlike the old New Beetle.

I recognise Rockstar as a major extreme sports brand. But I'm a Nacional fan, so the Peñarol colors don't appeal to me.

I like the EKS Audi's. One of the best looking rx cars.

Not a fan of boxed wheel arches.

I think the EKS Audis look fantastic.

The Beetle as a car just doesn't do it for me. Hopefully they'll have been able to carry the reliability changes they made last year into this year's car. I seem to remember it being pretty fragile at the start of last season.

The EKS S1s look like Audis with Metro 6R4 fenders.

Interesting to see the different solutions. EKS Audi and Austrian Fiesta having boxed fenders and others like Hansen Peugeot and Larssen Audi the conventional fenders.
