- Kalle retires from WRC to go Formula Racing
- Toyota supports him all the way to F1
- Tanak will use the old car
- Seb might retire as well
- Scott Martin became a dad
- Solberg probably replaces kalle

Anime

Sure the formula driver will dominate on tarmac?

Another OWL
not so sure after what happenzd in Canarias
Still rooting for a 9th for Seb

OWL who would have thought
> Tanak old car strategy shining

>>151404085
i dont understand who in their right mind would think an older car is better, it makes no sense

>>151404608
as far as I know it was his own decision so they dont have to spend time to find the best setup and he has time to focus on ither things

>>151403973
surely they'll do something.... surely.............

not WRC but as important, 2026 ERC calendar is out

>>151405075
>Finish on Fafe
That's how WRC should finish too

>>151406263
There’s quite a bit that the ERC does that the WRC should (go back) to doing

>>151407047
the only thing i can think of it is the tyre war
> and having sara fernandez

Cant wait to get finally home and watch the 2 stages

also hungarians on stageside reporting that spectator areas were absolute dogshit on the thursday stages

copied from the FIA news:
The World Council has approved the creation of an RC6 class for Rally6 Group cars – an entry level specification designed to be as cost effective as possible, particularly in terms of the running costs. These vehicles will be based on the following concept:

Four-seater, two-wheel drive ICE cars
Standard 1.6T or 2.0 NA engine with competition ECU
Power-to-weight ratio of 7.5 kg/hp (e.g. 1050 kg / 140 hp)
H-pattern gearbox, production brakes and tyres
Non-adjustable competition shock absorbers
Safety level equivalent to Rally5-Kit

Anybody who kissed Eamon Kelly's incredible kwabbing on stage 1 lol
https://streamable.com/cf86hv

Also BINGO
https://bingobaker.com#68f18a29b27b4848
You can already tick:
> puncture!
Gill Taylor
> Comms roasting a driver
PK made some comments about Philip Allen and his finish/crash ratio
> Local shitters
> R3/R4/RGT shown
> JWRC shown
> Molly finds an animal
Already found a dog for herself lol
> Cool bumper cam
MSport delivers as always
> Solberg leads
> Typical Gryazin interview
> Evans chokes
Already stage 1 penal for moving the bales lol
> R1/R2 roll
There was a roll in rc2, but Eamon Kelly's kwabbing live on air is simply worth this

claire is still incredibly cute

GM

>>151418226
can't wait for hyundie to job as always
clearly this year is a ploy for hyundai to do terrible and pull out of wrc, why else would they consistently suck so much

>>151418257
(translated) I do not hope for anything, I am not afraid of anything, I am free.

gm lads

Sami is improving

shit I overslept

>>151418257
yeah this is why they are hiring new people, delivering updates, and upgraded and extended their rally hq retard

>2 secs separate first from eigth
>Munshit is 6 secs
LOL
>>151418699
so instead of sandbagging they're just shit
makes sense

>>151418704
they are pretty transparent why they are shit

Cachon fast, damn
I wonder if he's gonna get good on gravel too

>>151411927
this feature on her is nice
v cute

In semi-related news, an Assetto Corsa rally sim was just announced. I'm sure Nikolay is excited

>>151418984
seems exciting,
I guess they syphooned up the codemasters developers who left or got fired when EA cancelled everything bar the F1 game

> Alfa Romeo GTA 1300 Junior Gr.2 (1972) and the Hyundai i20N Rally2 (2021), Mini Cooper S Gr.2 (1964), Citroën Xsara WRC (2001), Fiat 131 Abarth Gr.4 (1976), Fiat 124 Sport Abarth Rally 16V Gr.4 (1973), Lancia Delta HF Integrale EVO Gr.A (1992), Lancia Rally 037 EVO 2 Gr.B (1984), Peugeot 208 Rally4 (2020), and the iconic Lancia Stratos Gr.4 (1976).
I wonder if they cant get Rally1 licence due to the contract with nacon

Evans kwabs away the championship this weekend

Puncture #15 for neuvile

hyundai fucked up the setup

wanted to complement munshit that he is at least better than the irish, but kek

What a stage, how many Rally2s are gonna crash I wonder

>>151418984
Naisu.

>>151419478
Looks like this car handles a lot like how it does in RBR based on this video
https://youtu.be/yzhC1xzuOdEsi=i17AI91fEjzzdrpF
Definitely more of a sim than EA WRC and dirt

Max is not as smart as his name suggests kek

rolling for ogier crash

morning gentlemen, Kiri looking very haggy as usual
>>151419845
rolling again

Rolling a third time

rolling again

>>151419977
amen

stage delayed

> Go with the old car so we dont have to fuck with the setup
> Ends up with a shit setup and have to fiddle with it
This decision is close to being the biggest clownjoke of the season, more so bc how much was hanging on for ott on this rally

I will not miss these fucking long waiting times between the stages
This rally beyond borders is a novel concept, but the organisers made sure to implement it in the worst way possible

>>151420778
having one day in germany, austria and czechia respectively would make more sense

>>151420514
I like Ritchie, shame he has to suffer so much

btw ending the day 2nd with a few tenths behind ogier would be the wise fir Kalle, so he would be at advantage tomorrow, the longest day

rolling for TOTAL TOYOTA DEATH

>>151421033
I kneel...

rollan for another classic pajari crash on tarmac

>>151421033
holy based

>>151420896
he can thank malcolm for it being the mega jew and not even trying to retain drivers like Tanak or 4Max

>>151421033
checked

why is mcerlel the only ford driver, wat happen

>>151421105
munster did the same as neuville on the czech stage, but munster being munster he did it even worse and broke his right rear suspension

i fucking love dark stages

>>151421105
the humiliation ritual must be completed

>>151421261
hot take but i dislike them, all you see is the lights for most of the pass except onboard

>>151421105
>munster
>not going through the humiliation ritual
pick one

>>151421280
> make a ddocumentary about the season
> release it before the season ends
clearly shows how retard the promoter

FUCKHUGE NEWS
https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/hyundai-considering-running-a-rally2-car-in-2027/
Hyundai wont build a wrc27 rally1, it will run a rally2 in 2027
if they stay

>>151422420
grim

>>151421261
It's difficult to spectate irl

>>151422420
BTW there is no word on the MSport WRC27, even though if both toyota and hyundai said so far, they should be knee deep in the development, and based on cyrills word, MSport is not developing anything at the moment and its only toyota.

Toyota Rally Championship lol

sexo

btw this is the same issue what the rally2+ was about
Why build an expensive tubeframe bespoke car, when it will be in the same performance bracket as the cheaper road car based rally car

>>151423025
it's gonna be wec lmh all over again, except there is imsa lmdh or f1 budget cap to save their asses

stolen from ylilauta

>>151422420
sad

>>151424099
I don't get it

>>151432768
I'm gonna get stuck in to Kiri

Good morning. Just came from a comfy morning walk and now my body is ready. Maybe some pidser and german beer later today.

just a glfew minus till studio, wake up boys

wake up eurosissies, its time

by the way there are zero spectators on this stage.

>McErlean going faster than Munster
also gm

RAIN on next stage
kino

1.5h till the next stage
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I hate this shit

>>151432768
there is the annyoing rallytv ad played between stages

i cant decide if i want to get early beer or not for rally, wat do frens

>>151435078
Be patient :)

>>151435223
i got beer and pizza, life is good watching rally

>>151435440
I'll wait for the afternoon stages

>>151435474
i bought a whole case of pints so im good for the whole day

hot take:
Munshit and the MSport is way behind everyone meme made 4maux look better than what he is

>>151435489
are you drunk, wtf did you say, i dont understand

>>151435496
ott would have won those rallies where everyone celebrated 4maux like some god for getting a podium places with the puma

The stage win metric shows that Ogier and Evans both lucked into this championship again

>>151435516
Ott would win this if the shitty hyundai didnt explode and break all the time

Seb!
old man did it again

>>151422420
Surely a production-based car will always be at a disadvantage against a spaceframe?
I just find that going for roughly Rally2 performance instead of a Rally2+ spec is a mistake. It's not enough for the top level. They should've been similar in spirit to the Super 2000-based World Rally Cars.

HAHAHAHA FUCK YOU WHO SAID OWL

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

WTF

The Welsh black magic

SEB OUT HOLY SHIT

just like last year lmao

Kalle has 40s lead over Evans, he can be careful from now on

kwab

evans is somehow going to win this isnt he? God dont tell me so, i dont want this fucking NPC to win

>>151435556
still better scenario than this unworthy ogier equalling loeb

>>151435549
But not too careful. Have to keep his rhythm.

>>151435564
this gives ott another lifeline, thank you ogier

Live Latvala Reaction @ Ogier

ONE POSITION GAINED

Kalle said he will leave the sport with a bang, I honestly didnt think that this means destroying ogier mentally lol. He will beat him the 2nd time on tarmac

>>151435589
you are not alone with this

>>151435537
Same power to weight ratio, same engine, same suspension and brake. The new rally1 might be faster but not much

>>151435618
Based, hope he rocks the livery again in Japan.
Someone should ask him about Assetto Corsa Rally

>>151435622
Hussi had someoutburst on insta this week about these rumors that they are fucking and said their relationship is purely friendship

>>151435538
It's Ogier bros.

>>151435647
kek

>>151435572
hope he puts some pressure on evans now so elfyn bins it too

>>151435670
please make it happen, ott deserves another title after all the bullshittery hyundai has had

Ogier is such a soft fag mentally holy shit

Loeb would never

>>151435577
hussi pussi
imagine...

Hungarybro can you add a "Josh needs more time" slot on the bingo starting from the next event onward?

>>151435707
unless there is already one I have yet to see of course

>>151435645
>purely friendship
Yeah sure if she says so

>biggest talking point of the year is Ogier crashing
Becs, you're forgetting something

>>151435741
i didnt say I believe it lol

>>151435655
the roll cage must be intact, but hopefully that was a big hit on the engine

>>151435746
I know :)

>>151435746
look at those biceps, holy shit

Apparently Ogier got Hankook'd and didn't know until it was too late due to a TPMS failure

>>151435746
cute

< it was a puncture and the tpm sensor did not work so I didnt know that
Ofc it was lol

Today's fancy rally beer

Loeb, Ogier and Rovanperä top 3 tarmac drivers in WRC history?

>>151436379
what about panizzi, delecour and bugalski?
Loeb for sure is in the top3, ogier and kalle is a harder question. Not just Neuville(arguably in worse car) but Evans and Kalle(noth in equal cars) gave Ogier a hard time on tarmac a lot throughout the years (not mentioning Loeb) so I'm not 100 percent sure he is in the top 3

>>151436212
nice

>>151436016
for what it's worth i have never ever seen a working tpms

>>151436702
ok seb

> strange noises in the hyundai transmission
pls no

the kalle onboard looked like it's sped up footage holy shit

/ourautist/bros...

now the usual tourist segment of kiri, if she gets to eat I have a bingo

oh wow passau is half the size of my hometown

Finally time for pidser and beer

>>151437124
i crave pidser but I still have a few days till salary

the ogier impact was 10G btw

>>151405075
BTW the hungarian opener is not 100 percent sure.
The ASN is in shamblesthere were 3-4 resignaton from high level officials in the last few months, next rally in the national championship is ran on a shoestring. They dropped classic stages and replaced with running already ran stages bit the 3rd and 4th time they will be ran backwards

heh this fuckin long gap again, and its even longer than in the morning

elfyn has a golden horseshoe up his ass

cachón kwabbed

>sesks first car was a civic type r
>adrien had a golf mk2
based based based

>>151441300
Do you have ford sierras in america?

>>151441625
>>151441300
everyone mentions sshitboxes (apart the nepobabys), meanwhile Taka:
> Supra SZ A80

>>151441625
nope, looks like a euro model
>>151441914
well yeah, its first cars, they're supposed to be shitboxes
and didn't Taka say he got the supra from his grandpa? Or was it that his grandpa just introduced him to supras?

So what are the rules regarding power stages and Sunday running now? Can Ogier still try and salvage 10 points or is he out of the whole event?

The lancia announcement video
https://youtu.be/vCWGXHXmOxA?si=zGBvPj1gZLr-99P

>>151443675
IIRC his grandpa bought the car for Taka's mother and Taka started using it. Also lol Kiri admitting she totalled her first car crashing into a tree

>>151443744
he can and depending on some factors he might have the best road position to do so

watched the VODs lads, I literally screamed when ogier crashed
I mean, Elfyn winning is meh but Loeb is the true GOAT

some old rallycars sliding around bends in finland this weekend
https://youtu.be/Ml7YPwJ1q1Q?si=0z3H83DsoWv_MFqg

Cachón kwabbing btw made WRC2 actually interesting, first 3 is covered by 4.9 seconds

Dubz and Ogier get Hankooke'd again

>>151451635
rolling

>>151451635
digits and he kwabs and seethes

>>151453387
the true GOAT

>>151453144
now if someone else also had a moment I would be happy...

>>151436600
maybe Didier? nobody considers Tommi a tarmac specialist, but he managed to win Monte Carlo three or four times and Sanremo (Sainz never managed to win the latter for example). Markko Märtin was improving rapidly and achieved a couple of victories in a row, idk

>>151435537

>>151459717
I don't think it's happening but rolling

wake up your sissies, its time
the final day...

fog fucks with the broadcast again

>>151459609
unironically Jartsa said in an interview, that it's something nobody really thought about before, but Hussi being a tv/radio personality is an advantage because she speaks exceptionally clearly

>>151459729
Must say you're a reak one.
(Isn't that 2AM in your timezone?)

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

>>151459830
pst, so 11:30
Might have been the only stage I could watch tonight (work in morning) and thierry has to fuck it up

I find Julien Ingrassia's commentary decent but I wish his accent was less noticeable

stage will be cancelled, the car spilling shit all over the place

dubs and this was the 16th puncture

>>151459850
this

Just opened up rally.tv to see nuville hit a bridge

"Nothing to loose"
Yeah, he pushed that one alittle bit too far

Fuck I woke up 2 minutes too late. Webm?

>>151459878
the car is behind a building when it happens, nothing can be seen on the footage bc the onboards are not working

Welp, time to brew so coffee then

this will be the powerstage so
CLEAN IT UP JANNIES

still no bingo

>>151459941
neither here lol

Morizo asked the team to get the manufacturers championship on rally japan so they can celebrate at their home city, neuville just ruined it to them lol

wearechecking shitting up the bed.
Guess i'll go back to acez wia VPN. (Yeah, they got that under VPN a few weeks back...)

since the introduction of supersunday I think thisbis the first time a sunday stage got halfway cancelled so notional times can and will affect it for the first time

there are still no onboards or stageside cameras wtf

this coverage is worse then estonia this year, get it together you fucking retards

>>151460435
Please understand. No budget

i will be surprised if no one else crashes today

>>151460446
rollan for another pajari classic wreck on tarmac

> Növille deliberately crashing to fuck with the tyre situation of Ogier
Belgian 99D chess

> 22seconds
wtf munster

OTT BACK IN TOYOTA RAAAHHHHH

>>151460528
kek

how is the time calculated for the cancelled stage anyway

>>151460440
SA better have immaculate coverage with how much they probably put into this shit

still no onboards

thank you based heli for bringing us footage

unironically i think mcerlel can become fast unlike munshit, his first year and he's mogging on munshit

>>151460728
yeah what the fuck

>>151460605
well, they dont have dense forests and fog, so 2 usual problem is nulled, only the mountains will be challenge and maybe heat

powerstage broadcast is starting, first car in 15 minutes from now

the wrc plane is not flying per flightradar, so we wont have onboards or stageside cameras still. Absolute amateur hour.
You always need to have backup solution

0:20 Tanak fucking up the same corner as thierry
https://youtu.be/92mJAHnYHIo?si=mt6UIEFDyCbCMtWv

who bins it?

>>151461594
ogier

>>151461594
Evans

>>151461594
Taka?

BTW with Rally2 being a top category in 2027 means we will have /ourautist/ fighting for wins or wdc.
We should pay for a sticker on his car

>>151461638
god i want gryazin to drive the WRC1 before it goes away

>>151461638
Who'll race for Lancia BTW? Yohan, for sure, but who'll get the second car?

>>151461703
>ive got nothing to smile for in my life

Cheatin'Yodders 2025 champion

>>151461814
seeing the Toyota guys grinning... grim...

i think those softs are cooked

>>151461852
I'm happy for Juha, though

Damn'it, Ott

its over for ott now but i hope galle/ogier can win

>>151461949
>>151461950
Chances of Evans choking?

>>151461652
Léo, his brother. Gryazin was booted from citroen bc if him

>>151461949
1 TTD and he is close.
It would be incredibly funny if without the pressure of the manufacturers championship, all 3 toyotas would end up in the forest around toyota city lol
Kalle on the other hand btw is very strong on all new events (even in paraguay he was leading before getting hancooked)

>>151461956
Evans will do another Croatia in Japan, so 98%

nice rally again gents, excited for japan, its a cinemma rally

>>151461956
Evans won rally japan 2 times already

im happy that its not turkan

>>151462043
1.6 seconds, holy shit man

>>151462043
well imagine how happy I am...

266 posts hot damn the end of the season falling off hard.
Lets see what the saudi oil money can do (fuck I hate them just buying their way into every fucking thing)

>>151461703
btw, its really a question what ford will do.
Their rally2 is old as fuck an undeniably begind in development compared to others. They cant homologate a new fiesta as the car is out of production for years, so their only chance building a wrc27 puma, but they still not committed to that either

>>151462100
its always a steady decline after monte. IIRC not even the meme rallys were able to overflow into a second thread

>>151462071
kek I can

You won't believe what I read at first glance

>>151462268
KEK

Kovaleinen also won today in Japan on his birthday, sealing up the Japanese championship title

>>151462461
is he feeling healthier now after his heart surgery or whatever he had?

>>151462883
guess so
plowing prime japanese pussy and rallying must be a great way to heal

finished watching the vod
fucking nips acting all smug, hope they get kekked as they got in Le Man's after Ferrari and other real competition returning

>>151464666
picrelated.

Millener has that 1000 shitter stare

>>151467245
Dunno if it's still funny at this point. This guy is livinge in pure Hell

>>151467698
it's still self inflicted by the team, so I don't really feel sorry for them. Malcolm being megaju and going for the untested shitters or young guns just to save money. It worked with Evans, Martin or Duval but they got some stinkers atm. At least it seems armstrong will be good when he graduates.
He is great in rally2 at the moment and they will put them in the top team in 2027 earliest when rally2 will be the norm anyways

>>151464666
lmaokek

>>151465174
you do realize it's a finnish operation and the endurance racing operation is a german one

>>151478198
dont confuse him lol.
also btw the one stretching the rules were hyundai lol

Why do so many people hate spaceframes? Even Rally2 cars don't really have anything to do with production cars, it seems like a weird sentimental thing to me.

>>151478198
I know, their HQ is in Jyvaskylla and their operation is kraut
that's why I hate their smugness
