UnderclassGDfan 495 Posted March 31, 2020 "Rally1 cars" Errfh, what's wrong with World Rally Car? The latter sounds better to me. And sound...I hope they keep the sound, hybrids ruined F1 for me already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PJTierney 5,041 Posted September 14, 2020 Interesting article here on the upcoming hybrid cars. https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/the-wrc-debate-leaving-teams-going-round-in-circles/ One little snippet, Ford considering basing the next car off the Puma instead of the Fiesta. I just looked up what the modern Ford Puma looks like... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JorritVD 1,259 Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) It not seems to be much bigger than the Fiesta. This is the only direct compare photo i can find. Just I get a kinda C3 deja-vu about the shape. Edited September 14, 2020 by JorritVD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PJTierney 5,041 Posted September 15, 2020 So essentially a Nissan Juke WRC 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UnderclassGDfan 495 Posted September 15, 2020 If I look at the complete current line-up from Ford, wich is quite shocking to me, there are only two options: Fiesta or Focus. Everything else is ugly or doesn't make sense to me. I have to say, the Fiesta is the best looking car in the line up for me. Except Mustang and GT, but these cars are obviously too big for rally. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PJTierney 5,041 Posted September 21, 2020 WRC Turkey was this weekend, looked like a real car killer 😉 Red Bull TV has highlights of each day up if you're after those, and here's a shakedown clip: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rogerbee 93 Posted September 22, 2020 Thanks for posting about Turkey, It's on ITV4 tonight at 21:00. If the freeview channels would stop re-jigging I'd set a series link! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PJTierney 5,041 Posted September 22, 2020 The Red Bull TV highlights were better this time than pre-lockdown. 20 minute show on Saturday, same on Sunday, but at least half of that was a no-nonsense run through the Stages with some clips of the WRC+ commentary for the dramatic live moments. Speaking of, their 45 minute show is up now: https://www.redbull.com/int-en/live/wrc-2020-rally-rewind-turkey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogerbee 93 Posted September 22, 2020 I like to binge watch whole seasons over winter. Shouldn't be that hard to do this time round. I get a bad back if I sit in my computer chair for too long. That said though, I watch the live stream from Santa Pod for hours! (Can't watch that anywhere else though!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UnderclassGDfan 495 Posted November 20, 2020 I cancelled my subscription from WRC+, because the xbox one-app rarely works (had 2 rallies without any audio at all) and for more than a week I couldn't access it at all. A few days ago I tried to watch the "All Live" content of the last rally, but got error messages on my PC. Tried onboard footage...freezed after a few seconds. Terrible service. And since there is no footage on free TV in germany I believe, I can't watch rally at all 😞 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
