WRC Rallye De France Alsace

[ArnageWRC]

Nobody interested??

I won't spoil anything then.....

I was going to start a thread on Rally Australia a couple of weeks back but thought better of it, no interest here in WRC.

Maybe a silly question, but why??

I asked a question on the Autosport forum:

What would it take for you to take an interest in the WRC???

Better TV, RWD, etc

[EDLT]

Not many people have ESPN, I did watch it when it was on Dave (even though it was st) and BBC Wales usually does a good RallyGB show which I'll watch, despite a budget of about 10p.

Isn't France another tarmac rally, I assume Loeb is winning?

[Life Saab Itch]

Heard something about him crashing.

Not sure if true though.



If WRC had a decent free to air TV package, interest would pick up.

If there was a genuine British challenger, interest would pick up.

Sorry, but Matt Wilson ain't it.

Unfortunately, Rally Australia came and went with barely any notice from the Australian public and media.

Great to see Loeb out making the championship even closer and also great to see Mini so close to the lead.

Kimi continues to amaze... crashing into the back of another competitor on a road section!

I'd be interested if I could watch it on TV. It would also interest me more if the cars used were more closely related to those sold by the manufacturers to the public.

[Allyc85]

Why? Not having a moan I dont get why that matters?

Its not like you could buy a Group B Audi and take that to the shops.

SORDO LEADS IN THE MINI!!!

[Jerry Can]

I'm really into the wrc at the mo, due to MINI's arrival and in particular Kris Meeke. He's 4th at the mo.

WRC is ace, cars are good, rallies are gettgin better, and the tv in the UK will pick up once Meeke gets some good results.

go Meeke!

did I say he was 4th?

[Allyc85]

Hes going well, though very lucky to survive a spin on the last stage!

I think even if Sordo dosnt win its still great for the WRC that a new manufacturer has come in and also been competitive so early on. After seeing Loeb re-sign with Citreon, then lead WRC Germany I did think to myseld why do I bother watching this!

Not any more

Sordo by 0.2 at the moment, gutted to see Petter drop back with a puncture

Live stream starting now

this forum i find is mainly F1 biased. with a few bits of Tintop/endurance chucked to keep a fairly even balance.

its a shame realy as most rounds of the WRC involve more lead changes than the entire F1 season

got the live stream on in the background as i'm working, as i usually do with rallyradio whenever i can.


also just posted up a thread about Kimmi pulling out too

[Allyc85]

Meeke crashed out and Ogier is really on it this afternoon, pulling out a small gap now.

[Emeye]

Just put the live stream on - this is more like it!

[emicen]

I like rallying but don't generally bother posting on here because every thread is invaded with the "rallying should just go back to everyone in rwd / mk2 escorts blah" squad.

Anyways, on topic, Loeb out in his home rally on tarmac is a bit of a shake up!
