To some, you might not know the name but you would know the source of rallying news.
iRally
The app, the website, the Twitter feed.
Greg Strange the man behind the app, a passionate man who for hours on end would deliver news, updates and interviews with drivers and teams throughout the years to rally fans, followers and avid lovers of the sport.
But not only that, Greg was the man who brought to fruition World Rally Radio. From the early beginnings of Internet radio for the WRC on Dial-Up to what it has become today, covering every round through mud, gravel and snow!
He passed away yesterday from a short illness and as much as the community in the WRC and rallying around the world now know - I thought to let you all know on the forums and around the Internet to who this man was and how he showed the world of rallying.
A great article written here by a friend and his daughter.

If you have a moment to spare to think about how we are as a community, put aside the differences between us all and know how we truly have a fantastic sport to enjoy, even through the crazy proposals and changes to come, there are people like Greg in our world who believe in the sport, who work hard behind the scenes to show us what the sport has installed. Photographing, reporting, processing information. Greg was a man who shared the sport with all, his vision and idea behind iRally was a success, and one supported by many others.
Rest in Peace Greg,
You will be missed dearly by myself, your family and many others who knew you and worked with you.
Matt.
