So Foust, Speed and Hyundai are in. Good!
It's interesting to see New York, Washington and Daytona in the calendar. |

Don't get me wrong, for a relative new series their quality of the grid is very good (tracks is a different story). |

I'm hoping that the starts are better this year. I hate watching everyone crashing into each other in the first corner. |

I had a feeling it was going to be Scott Speed. It's going to be odd seeing Tanner Foust in a VW. I can't wait to see the cars though! Quote:

Not the biggest fan of the Beetle, either, but yeah, that car is great. |

It does say they will begin the season in the Polo (which I think will look pretty cool in the Rockstar livery) before switching to the Beetle.
I'm not a big fan of the new Beetle anyway, but even trying to put my own personal bias aside I think that looks bloody awful! (Still, at least its another different car on the grid) |

I'm wondering if a livery tweak for the Beetle would have helped? I mean, it's the same one that was on the Fiesta and it was designed for (to look good on) the Fiesta. I understand that the sponsors need to be on the car... (I'm not explaining what I mean very well.) For me at least, I see that livery and expect to see the Fiesta, so seeing on the Beetle throws me a bit. |

Andretti will develop the car inhouse? Does this mean no Deegan this year? |

I haven't heard anything about Deegan in GRC this year. I think he's doing http://www.lucasoiloffroad.com/ rather than GRC.

I'm not saying he won't this year. I just can't find anything saying he's taking part in GRC. (Admittedly, I've only had a very brief look.)
I am completely freaking disgusted by some of the comments on Facebook about Tanner Foust's new car. I'd say 90% of them are people calling it gay which makes me want to start throwing things. Just saw this: http://instagram.com/p/kFjTCOmrE6/ Scott Speed's car is interesting... Last edited by Distracted; 6 Feb 2014 at 19:44. |

Great lineup by Andretti! Michael is serious when he goes racing.
I loved the old New Beetle's front end and the current rear end. Subaru will feature Sverre Isachsen and Bucly Lasek in 2014, plus Travis Pastrana at the X Games Austin. |

I saw that too. So so far we have:
Scott Speed- Polo/Beetle Tanner Foust- Polo/Beetle Sverre Isachsen- Subaru Bucly Lasek- Subaru Travis Pastrana- Subaru (X-Games only) Ken Block- Ford Fiesta? (Suspect that's a yes.) Joni Wiman- Fiesta Patrik Sandell- Fiesta Toomas Heikkinen- ? (I know I read what he was driving somewhere. I just can't remember.) Who am I missing? |

Rhys Millen will be back with 2 Hyundai's I believe plus Pat Moro will have at least one Chevy Sonic. I think the Doran/Mirra MINI went back to Prodrive but may be not.
I haven't heard anything but know that there were several folk looking at OMSE Fiesta's to run outside of OMSE in 2014. Mark |

Yes, the Seattle at event is at Dirtfish Rally School in Snoqaulmie.
Have very happy memories of that place. AE convinced he could win on 3 wheels but some great two-wheel drive races and commentating with Brad J on a scaffold that I was sure was trying to kill me. Oh and driving through the warehouse in a rally school Impreza and almost wiping out at the end while being filmed for an ESPN piece. Ah happy days! Mark |
