NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! https://www.motorsport.com/world-rx/news/petter-solberg-world-championship-retirement/4367476/ I suspected this might happen, but still hoped we'd see Petter back full time in World RX. I guess that the plug on PSRXVW has been fully pulled now that electric isn't happening.

Loving the Manta, the easiest RWD car for me so far, done a few of the NZ stages and I was doing some glorious power slides out of the corners!
-
I read that about a minute after I posted the video! Will be downloading those myself later on.
-
Not a new addition, but our first official look at the Manta and M1:
-
Yeah, especially not if you're a driver who hasn't been shy about trading paint in the past...

I think that he is talking about the press conference from Friday @JamesMcAdam: A comment about bumpers and the next time they were in the cars Andreas ploughed into Timmy! As I said in my previous post I have never really warmed to Timmy and, although it was a rubbish way for his weekend to end (and I wouldn't want to see him injured), it's hard to feel that sympathetic for him when he torpedoed that Megane at Estering last year. I thought there was some smart driving from Liam, the move he pulled on Timerzyanov in the semi-final was great. Let's hope it lasts. The landing from the jump looked really hard on the cars. I know there was a clip of Bennett nosing in on the landing during the press day, so I guess they had made some changes, but it still looked pretty rough. I read some interesting comments with regards to the track design over the weekend, I didn't know there was more than one company involved in the design of the various "new" rallycross tracks, would explain the difference in quality between some of them!

They never have been: you buy an Alfa Romeo with your heart, not your head!

Bakkerud has always been overly aggressive, that said I thought he looked genuinely shaken when interviewed at the start of Q4 so I am inclined to believe it was a genuine mistake. I am not a massive fan of Timmy Hansen, but that was a rubbish way for his weekend to end. As for Bennett I admire what he is doing but, even with deep pockets and an all-privateer field I think he is out of his depth. I still think he should have gained more experience at a National level before attempting the World Championship.
-
Despite my reservations I tried to watch Q1 with an open mind. The circuit seems utterly bland so far, hopefully there will be some closer races in Q2 to make things more interesting.
-
I am actually a little bit disappointed by the RX Cartel livery: looks a bit plain. My money is on Bakkerud for this weekend though!
-
I don't recall seeing that many C4's in European events either. Lot of Mk.1, Mk.2 and Impreza WRCars in private hands though!
-
Yep, that's right @ianism, Estering is a standalone European Championship only round. There have been hints at a split of the World and European Championship coming for a few years now and I thought that Estering this year was the first sign that was happening. With the recent developments concerning the electric future of the Championship though, I wonder if that is less likely now.
-
If that car had seen a few more seasons use (and development) then I think it might be viewed differently. It should definitely be on par with the Citroen and the Focus. It's results at the top level weren't great, but in the hands of privateers it's had some success (I am actually curious as to which of those three cars has had the best results post-WRC: I think it might be the Focus).
-
Controversial!
-
LHD conversion is mentioned in the advert: would think that would be more appealing for a buyer in Europe!
-
Yep, that sounds like a pretty accurate description of Alfa ownership! Hope it's nothing major!
-
I have previously said that the S14 Impreza WRC is one of my least favourite iterations of Impreza WRCar, but I just saw this on Facebook... ...I hope CM include a plain grey option when the car arrives in game: this looks properly mean!
-
No worries @JamesMcAdam, glad someone looked at it! 😄
-
Actually pretty good. It's not as open as Lydden (few tracks are!), but it's much better than I was expecting. There are grandstands on the outside of the start line/turn one, you can view from the exit of turn one to turn two behind high fencing and the entire section between turn two and the jump just has a low fence, so you can view and take pictures all the way along there. Not sure if anyone is interested, but I have written a preview for the 2019 season: http://fueltopia.co.uk/world-rallycross-championship-2019-preview/
-
Makes you think that they really should have started with this, then built it up to replacing Supercars, doesn't it?
-
Hmmm, probably not that long. I have only done the first couple of Championship levels in rally and rallycross. Most of my play has been in freeplay.
-
Was playing PS4 two nights ago and saw a drone!
-
Latest word is that the deadline for manufacturers to sign on for electric has passed and no one has signed up, so the introduction will likely slip further back than 2021: or be completely abandoned.

Uploaded a few pictures from the opening round of the British Rallycross Championship, few of my faves... ...load more here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/22961613@N06/albums/72157706323655751 If anyone is interested!

Not if you're the spectator who owns that parked car!
