Sporty Stuff has quite a bit of rally on it (and occasionally rallycross as well). Often on at odds hours, but worth a search every few weeks to see if there is anything worth recording on there.

Good weekend for M-Sport; Fiestas on top in West Cork and North Wales.

Sporty Stuff? Not heard of that. Is it available anywhere on Sky? Sounds worth a look.

On another note, I was in the lakes the other weekend while the Malcolm Wilson was ongoing. It was a weekend away with Mrs AndyS so no chance of getting stage side, but saw plenty of cars moving around. Spent an enjoyable hour eating lunch in Ambleside, where I managed to position her so I could watch all the cars passing by outside!

I caught up with the Rally Kenya coverage last night - whilst it's not the marathon event it once was it's certainly still a challenge and very different to other events on the calendar. There have been some superb photos coming out over the weekend, love seeing the shots of the cars in the landscape

Rovanpera seemed to be driving on "easy" mode and everyone else had it set to "hard" - he avoided trouble and had good pace throughout. Odd that Toyota didn't tell him to back off in the powerstage though so Evans could get more points given that Evans is their best hope for the championship this season. Good result for Katsuta - he seems to go well in Kenya, he had speed all weekend and managed to avoid any major dramas.

A good result again for Formeaux as well, it looks like he and M-Sport are picking up some good results with tactical driving. Formeaux certainly didn't look to be pushing as hard as some of the others but he stayed out of trouble.

Dreadful for Hyundai really (even though thanks to the points system Neuville came out of it ok). Lappi had no luck at all - broken transmission twice and multiple bird strikes to the windscreen that got glass in his eyes. Tanak and Neuville both with suspension damage after hitting rocks and multiple hybrid problems across the cars as well. Was it Neuville that only had 2wd at one point as well? (I can't remember which driver that was). It looks like the Hyundai is still "fast but fragile" - they really need to get on top of the reliability.

WRC2 was a Skoda lockout on the podium, a relatively comfortable win for Greensmith after Solbergs early punctures dropped him back.

Anybody watch the Rally Poland coverage? Epic speeds and a great battle. Such a shame for Tanak. If I heard him correctly he hit a deer! He really looked on it.

Some debut by Sesks. Seems a bit of a character as well.

Problems with spectators caused a stage to be cancelled. Seem to recall this being an issue in Poland before. May have even be cited as a reason that they stopped going there. May have imagined that though.

I saw bits and pieces of the coverage - the stages looked really good but there did seem to be a lot of spectator problems, they really need to get on top of that. Tanak did indeed hit a deer, he really doesn't have much luck does he? Agree that Sesks performed very well - and he didn't have the hybrid component on his car.

Of the Hyundai drivers I massively favour Tanak over Neuville... but I am still hoping Evans can make this his year!

Fantastic debut I thought especially - as said by Bert - he was running without hybrid power.

...and yeah, it was an issue in the past. I haven't looked to confirm, but I was chatting to a mate and he reckoned that Poland had only won it back for a single year. Be surprised to see them get another round soon based on the frustration from the drivers/teams.

Watched some of WRC Latvia on TV the other night .
I believe it is the first time it has run there .
Nearly all loose surface stages but very, very fast .
I have rallied over a lot of European countries , but those stages were some of the fastest I have seen . At those speeds there is not a lot of space for any slight errors .
Worth a watch if you can find a video of it .

Funny you should mention it. I was watching some of it on TV last night.... Stage 12 . As you say all loose, plenty of dust and insanely fast. I saw on the on screen telemetry Neuville hit 196kph

The onboard stuff was nuts. As you say, well worth a watch .

In fact the WRC is testing "virtual chicanes"...

Works for me adds a bit more variety which can only be a good thing.

Still a very disappointing Lancia in road form though

I prefer 1 Opel, 1 Peugeot and 1 Lancia over 3 Opels.

As others have said, not the most exciting Lancia I've ever seen.

On another note, I caught up on the Acropolis coverage this weekend. Yikes, that was a rough rally! It looks increasingly like Neuville's title to lose.

Going off on another tangent, I also watched the highlights of Rally Ceredigion (no idea if I've spelt that right) or the British Championship part of it at least. Set up the last round really nicely with all to play for.

I was a bit sceptical about an international rally in this country not in the forests, but I was pleasantly surprised. Looked like a really good event. Hope they can at least keep the European Championship round status. Would still prefer international rallying in the forests though.

Yeah, almost; Rali - it is a Welsh (should that be Cymraeg??) event.

Considering the event has only been running since, 2019, they've done a marvellous job - and possibly unfairly, highlights how poorly some UK events have been run. It's 2024, not 2004.

The finance required is a lot less for a ERC round, so it's fine as it is - and one hopes it grows even more, and becomes a permament fixture in the ERC.

I think Autosport did a feature on it possibly stepping up to the WRC, but really, the WRC is not worth the huge money required; 2.5 manufacturers ( soon to be less) - no thanks!!
