I see Foust has taken the win in Vegas. Deegan in second and Isachsen in third. Good to see Subaru claim a podium as they haven't really had much in the way of decent results this year.
Unless Deegan can win at SEMA (and Foust fails to finish) the 2012 title should go to Foust? |

And still they persist with this potential deaf trap. What does it need for them to get rid of it, but then i suppose every crash and injury gives them the publicity they so crave. So pleased Scott managed to escape from this ridiculous American circus and without injury. I cant believe Binks would be stupid enough to do another year of this, money is not everything or is it?

Video from the stands http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF_cem27Klw
You can hear the crowd cheer when the cars jump, it is indeed something else. But this shows again that there is a potential danger in the gap jump for which these cars aren't build. Neither are humans. |

Little summary video of the race and some words up on ESPN: http://espn.go.com/action/global_ral...motor-speedway Looked like an unlucky first corner for Block. Absolutely crap media coverage from the GRC though. Managed to pick up the results through the Best Buy app. thing and rallycross.com but (and apologies if I missed something) nothing on the official GRC website or the GRC Facebook page. Come on GRC, media is suppose to be your strong point! |

Rumor mill:
Andretti Racing and Dreyer & Reinbold Racing were at Las Vegas this weekend. Negotiating an entry for next year? Long Beach GP reportedly a round for the GRC next year. Volkswagen will join Rallycross next year. As they are especially excited about the Munich X-Games, GRC would be a logical choice. |

Read this on a few forums now: would like to know if there is any substance behind the rumours beyond the comments from VW during the summer!

Join the dots....who took Ford into rallycross in the US and who is now head of motorsport at VW. Yep!
Yes, a couple more IndyCar teams have been looking at GRC and are in pretty advanced conversations. There are more manufacturers coming in next year as well. Agree on totally pathetic coverage......that doesn't make fans, sponsors or teams happy. Tough to pay the bills with no news coverage. Mark |

Was hoping we'd see the coverage improve throughout the year (full race videos online etc.), not get worse! |

Mmmh, where does it say that Munich Global X Games will feature a GRC event? AFAIK Brasil, Spain and LA are set to feature GRC, but not Munich.

I heard the news about Volkswagen already earlier, but then for the new ERC... could be Marklund's car, possibly??

I see ERC24 have got an article up on the Vegas round now...
http://erc24.com/archives/8208 ...plus Ford have chucked up a little promo clip detailing the win... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZbZZQM2KVk ...but still nothing on the official site, nor any sign of the complete A final coverage on You Tube. |

Excuse the double post, but Subaru released a promo video to mark the podium:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YZubCsz3P4 Still not a proper video of the final, but a bit more footage. Also spotted this as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t13jmGCqOM Great view of the cars on the start: and the pile up in turn 1. |

You have to love Andreas being in the car. not sure why they bother doing track alignment as it never goes in a straightline with him!
Not Marcus adjusted to being a spotter for the weekend. His only input to Tanner was "you are doing good"........but he was very relaxed and happy in Vegas. Mark |

The layout of the track took alot of thought as well, come on GRC try and make the track a little more challenging. It will be good if there is dirt at all rounds next year but there must be more than a few metres like we have seen at the odd round this year. I guess its too much to ask for the jump to be removed permanently next year? If not then expect another season marred by the sight of drivers finishing an event on a stretcher. |

I think I would only love Andreas if I was supplying him with bodywork, has always been a banger driver and always will be, he should set up a team with Hunsbedt and see how many cars they can write off!
Fair play to him for pushing the envelope in rallycross but I would prefer to see him putting more into European rallycross. |

Perhaps its a little unfair to pass judgement (as I've let to see the footage from the whole event), but am I the only one who thinks Heikkenen is a bit of a bulldozer on track?
