Hey, in a bop'ed championship they might have a chanceThey are confident that they will beat Toyota easier there
There seems to have beein an incident with MBS AND THE PRESIDENT OF PARAGUAY, lmao. I would really like to know what happend here
Hm, take it with a grain of salt from the Dirtfish comments:
"According to Spanish reporting, Ogier essentially said to MBS that he was not going to talk to him because he doesn't like how MBS is treating rallying - preferring to spend all his time at the big F1 races."
And the President of Paraguay was just in the same room. Nothing said to him

Hardly. Needs to act like an adult not a schoolgirl.
He'd travelled to Paraguay solely to be at the rally.

VW group will fire 100.000 people until 2030, close 4 of their plants in germany, Audi plant one of them, car models portfolio will shrink to 50%, Seat company to be defunct by 2029, and all resources will go to Cupra.
So don't expect anytime soon or ever for any brand from their umbrella to actually enter WRC. Not even Skoda.

Chinese GT series, the guy jumped out of his car to save the other fella in a car on fire. It took more than 1 min for safety team to arrive. The medical ambulance was said to have took more than 6 min to arrive because the driver was sleeping. People saying marshals were laughing and blaming poor driving on the racer. Some teams are withdrawing from the Championship in protest.
Edit: one of the marshals gave Loek a fire extinguisher and walked away. People are saying the marshal's clothes werent fire resistant. WTF
(all info based on coments around Yt and Reddit)
Other angle. The scene of him draggin Ollie out of the car is so horrible. This guy is a hero

Quick question for the Finnish fellas here: Do you learn Swedish/Norwegean (they are kinda similar, eh?) on school when you are a kid?
Always notice when watching Rallycross that Gronholm, Rytkonen, Joni, can always chat with Kristoffersson or Bakkerud in Swedish/Norwegean.
