i hear ford are putting alot of weight behind it because the tech is directly transferable to the new generation of road cars. Is this true or BS?

Toyota have announced their team for next year Evans, Rovenpera, Ogier and Lappi.
I think Ogier is doing a part season and Lappi is doing the other events.
Very strong team all WRC round winners

Sat in the Mull Hotel catching up with friends with the noise of the cars in the background. Who could ask for more?

Late start for us tonight stage 5

Was at shakedown this morning/afternoon. Back at the cottage drying out before this evening . I can see car 50 (starlet) being way up compared to his seeding if shakedown pace is anything to go by.

Spannered on 2 cars that both failed scrutineering with the kill switch not working!

That’s us home from a great weekend spectating on Mull. All our gear hung up to dry! It was a little bit damp at times.

What a great event, yes it was wet at times but the action was superb. Matt’s drive was phenomenal and watching David Bogies escort is worth the trip alone! I’ve been spectating on Mull since the 90s, and enjoy each year just as much as the previous and already looking forward to 2022.

Hope everyone that left today got home ok with the road being closed at Taynuilt. A sad situation that.

Also back from Mull. As usual a fantastic event and surprisingly the BRC guys didn't do to badly. Real shame about the Clan, managed to find the only culvert on the Hill Road.

My RS at Salen.

I agree about Bogie, the thing is awesome and gives me goosebumps! You can keep your r2’s and R5’s !, i was service crew for 3 cars, unfortunately one went out on the first stage with a dog ring failed on the box.
Here’s one i took on Friday night of Bogie before the final checkpoint at Salen Hotel. We hung around until 1.30 am for our cars to check they had enough fuel to get back to Tobe.

Does sound well https://www.facebook.com/MullRally/videos/58373495... Custom car red lights behind the fronts wheels are a bit unnecessary

It is a shame about the Clan, I know two people who have rallied Clans very recently, both have ended up upside down in a river!
Peter Scott was sharing photos of a broken Roll Cage today, which was rather worrying, but they are unhurt fortunately.

Few pictures from my 2 weeks on the island.

[Don Roque]

Fantastic photos, thanks for sharing.

That Starlet was rapid!
