Rally GB: Time For Tea?

A pleasing round-up of Rally GB highlights - see if you can spot the subtle tyre sponsor's message



You'll often hear that rallying isn't as good as it used to be. Yet, despite not leaving Wales these days, Rally GB remains one of the UK's biggest spectator events, drawing tens of thousands of fans to make the long pilgrimage to the forests. Where, in traditional fashion, they got rained on, watched fireworks explode and had occasional facefuls of wet gravel flung at them by the world's finest rally drivers.

But if you didn't make the trip this year, you may well have missed the action. The long-running conspiracy by every major TV broadcaster to ignore the WRC makes it all too easy to not even notice that the event has even happened these days.

Anyway, if you can't wait for a highlights package on the big TV you can watch this (very) edited selection on a small screen. It's definitely not a definitive report, and if you're not a fan of slow-motion intercuts then it's probably best not to watch (as there are about 120 of them.) But, at risk of damning it with faint praise, we reckon it's probably worth three and a half minutes of your time. There may, just possibly, be a subtle sponsorship message buried in there too but we couldn't quite tell...
