RALLY PEOPLE
I need your help. I need some photos of rally spectators through the years for a rally documentary I'm making. If you have any you would be happy for me to use I would be very grateful.
The photos need to be of a single person looking straight at camera OR a group pose. I'm looking to show different generations of rally fans over the years.
You can send them to [email protected].
PLEASE SHARE FAR AND WIDE. Thanks everyone.
Pic for example.

RBR has today announced a new 2 year extension to Serio Perez's deal. Amid all the drama both within RBR and the paddock in general, it will be interesting to see if this is its the right decision or if he'll be searching for a seat if the Red Bull implosion continues.

In a shortened format to the majority of the WRC, this years shakedown stage is nothing more than a low key Super Special. The drivers aren't impressed, but what do you think?

Ah... it's an early bath for us and that is our event over 😔

The car wasn’t performing as expected this morning, and just before SS8, we experienced a power steering failure. This issue brought us to a halt, as we were unable to fix it in time.

Sorry to everyone who waited to see us and to all our fans following our adventure from around the world. We really appreciate your support through the good times and the tough ones. Thanks for sticking with us! 🙏🧡

So as I was death scrolling I came across this image and thought, that’s actually a nice looking car. Could do with a V8 in it though, wonder if anyone has done it?

Then I wondered how ticked off Tesla owners would be on a scale of 1 to strongly worded letter to the Guardian?

Somebody should though…

Already a French Gravel Champion, he's sure to claim the ERC before too long. His pace on recent rallies show he has the speed. But the refreshing change to the norm is his sunny character. His interviews usually including jokes, smiles and an abundance of personality.

Alejandro Cachon burst into the rally setting the time sheets on fire in the process. His progress took a dent when a puncture delaminated before the end of the stage, taking the arch with it. Around 40s were lost. What followed was a WRC worthy drive to overhaul the competition and claim his first ERC podium and Power Stage points.

Lots of chat about this, but having read the statement, it reads like retirement is the next step. Personally I’d like to see him at Ferrari, mainly to bring an end to the appalling record from the last few years.

What are your thoughts?

On this day in 1986, the world of rallying lost 2 of its brightest stars. During the Tour De Course, the car left the road and burst into flame. The pair were killed instantly. Toivenen had risen to fame during the late 70’s in the Talbot Sunbeam and later went on to drive for the Italian team
