WRC 2011

[Dm_26]

So I'm actually going to try and keep up with the WRC this year as I have been slacking in recent years.

Mikko Hirvonen in the Fiesta RS WRC takes first place with the final day of the Sweden rally to go with Sebastien Loeb in 6th.

Loving the DS3s this year but do think the Fiestas will be hard to beat.

quite looking forward to it as for the first time, they are all starting with brand new machinery, so it's an even field. if last years anything to go by, i think seb ogier will be up there pestering leob, but as they are all in the same euipment, who knows. would like solberg to win again tho tbh.

Daves the main channel for the WRC

Supposedly Dave's contract has ran out and will not be showing WRC coverage, you can see coverage on motorstv or if you have an ESPN subscipt. There is also the World Rally Radio on the main site which imo is a good laugh.

 

[DIDITNO]

have been watching it on motors for a couple of days. hopefully dave wont show it as the presenters a muppet.

Eurosport had the best coverage last year.

The motorsTV coverage is s**t, no two ways about it. The voiceover bloke is a prick, and it appears that can't afford cameramen and have resorted to badly place in-car cameras. But it's all we have.

Should be an interesting year, once all the chaos of Sweden is over. Don't think Loeb is enjoying this weekend.

Found the ESPN coverage uploaded on youtube.
