Stranger things have happened than Paddon becoming World Champ. I think he’ll take it before 2020, as should Mikkelsen and Østberg. Hayden with Hyundai, Andreas with VW and Mads with Toyota.

Ogier is making me like Loeb quite a bit, that is a very good thing.

Taking him back home, you mean?

I suspect this is done on purpose, so that more real life rally spectators become aware of possible dangerous positions.

Interesting that the problem leading to the crash was the same as Andreas Mikkelsen had last year in Argentina.

I think there are usually only one helicopter and a couple of cameras along each stage. Each car also has two to three cameras, recording the stages. It is a coincidence that the helicopter caught the crash (even if Latvala was leading at the time), but if not we would have several onboard videos. Fan videos are also…

I thought you were going to talk about actual vandalism here, and not petty theft..

Still not sure if the blue is from this:

As far as I can tell Block never used those Fifteen52 rims in rallycross, only in the Gymkhana videos.

So Raph, don’t you think it’s time you come over here and watch World Rallycross? Usually a bit nicer than Wales in November.

If only we could have that with Group B inspired cars!

And this guy will be one of her henchmen, apparently.

Even better: In less than 10 days we see this car race against Sebastien Loeb and Petter Solberg.

..if it gets past the first corner.

I guess that it is an early press/test car, since I get lots of photos of it googling 325ix.

Cool joke. This is a 325ix.

Yep, that’s exactly what I wrote.

After I moved a few years ago and no longer needed a daily driver, I decided to put my car up for sale to see if I could get what I payed for it two years earlier. I had just about no money at the time. The car was a 1989 Mitsubishi Galant with a regular SOCH 4G63, GLSi trim and 4x4 that was close to 285 000 km.…

It’s been coming for a while in Europe, with both Citroën and DS logos on the cars. Last year they dropped the Citroën logo on the DS cars (even on the DS3 WRC), sort of creating a new brand. Not sure if the same happened in China?

I will never buy one of these, just because of that interior. Screen way too attention grabbing and seats probably isn’t comfortable.
