    Delighted for them, hopefully they get at least 4/5 drives this year and do well enough for a full seat in 2021.
    The best bit about Craig in a WRC car is his post stage interviews.

    Gary Jennings decided due to family reasons not to start the Galway rally this morning having done scrutiny and seeded number one in the Subaru.
    He has not yet decided if he will permanently retire according to his statement.
    Alastair fisher currently in the lead with 3 stages remaining

    I'm not really a fan of Jennings but I really felt for him reading that statement. Last summer's unfortunate accident has really had a profound effect on the rally community. There really is a lot at stake everytime they get behind the wheel of a rally car. They are not invincible. I respect Jennings decision, one which I'm sure was a difficult one to make.

    An interview with Jon Armstrong after his off in Sweden. Those cars really are built extremely well these days. Thankfully he and Noel walked out okay.

    DEAR RALLY FANS,


    During this uncertain time of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we value your continued support and as such, will be providing sufficient compensation, once action returns to normal. Stay with us for more details!

    Three years ago, the WRC Promoter had an ambitious plan – to give you live coverage of every stage of every rally, something that had never been attempted before. WRC+ All Live was born out of our passion for rally and became reality thanks to your devoted support. Without it, this project would have never happened.

    That is not to say, that like all good relationships, this project has been plain sailing and not without problems along the way, particularly at the beginning of this season as we transit to an all-new platform. We have been devoted to fixing these issues and are confident they are now resolved.

    Furthermore, we want to play our part to help fight Coronavirus, by providing you with plenty of reasons to remain at home! In the coming weeks, we will be:

    Digging deep into our archives to provide you with exclusive highlights from some of the best moments in the history of WRC.
    Creating a number of special features exclusively for you, the WRC+ subscribers.

    We intend to keep you informed and up-to-date throughout this difficult time, as we look forward to being back to bringing you live WRC action as soon as possible.

    Best regards,
    Your WRC Team
    Note about WRC+ subscriptions above










    BTW...........
    It's really annoying when you post images from an IOS device that look perfectly fine when posted but than when you later view the post from a PC you realise they are rotated grrrr :mad:

    Going to be very hard to get the 4(?) rounds required to run the championship at this point without getting creative.

    That’s a pity. Maybe you got him on a bad day.

    He had a great result in Italy over the weekend with some strong competition.

    He was always going to be the bench mark in Alba, I'd say he was well aware he needed a big performance there.
