2021 Rallying Thread (WRC, ERC and national rally)

The rally Sweden organisers must be worried by how well this winter rally is going. You'd think the Wrc promoters will be telling them to either move further north next year, or lose it.

It'll be ok, a six berth caravan at Tob campsite should accommodate all the BRC crews ??

Savage! But sadly probably fair!

30th of September seems excesive, can't be stopping people being able to walk in their local woods for one day of summer can we now? But it's better than nothing I guess, and something we probably will have to get used to.

In better news, all 3 Wrc teams have signed up to the new hybrid rules for 3 years. M-Sport will also be getting more support from Ford Performance, due to the new regs.

[Allyc85]

We could easily have lost 2 manufacturers so we can be thankful for that. It's not a surprise that no one else has joined yet, given the lateness of the regs. The promoters seemed optimistic that someone will join in 2023.

Bit silly chucking it off on stage 1 like that, he never even looked close to making the corner, like it was a wrong note or something. Though Ogier very lucky to get away with his moment too!

Great battle at the front, could go to either 3. I'd pick Ogier as the winner if I had to.

Fourmaux has done very well from what I have seen so far. With him the upgraded engine M-Sport look much closer on stage times

1 stage to go, with the top three 8 seconds apart! With the state of the stages anything could happen!

As shown with Ogier's Road section crash this morning!!

Beautiful work Ben!

I was watching the highlights the other day, my envy of your stages is so strong!

I've got the time booked off of work to do the whole thing. I may just end up watching Welsh bit though.

Great to see Evans smashing Sordo this morning, and extending his lead.

Got to say Katsuta is impressing more and more as the season goes on, he's right on the pace now.

Just read that the Woodpecker rally in September is to be non-spectator! Or as driver Damian Cole says, the organisers are using covid as an excuse for an easy life!

Suninen off on stage 1 again! Bad stage for m-sport, with fourmaux also off, in his Wrc 2 car.

Greensmith out for the day with transmission failure, after launching into the last stage. Shocker for the team!

Quality day for Ogier, wonder how much time he can take back from the lead Hyundai's tomorrow?

[Allyc85]

It's a stunning place, I always recommend it as a great rally/holiday.

Tanak is out after clouting a rock!! And just as wfc+ is down, due to a power cut!

Nicky Grist stages confirmed to go ahead, but with no spectators due to the "MOD being on exercise". Which is strange because I've often seen them while out on the Tour of Epynt.
