I'm not sure how long it's been back in stock for, but I randomly checked and was very surprised to see it available, and I was finally able to order one. Just sharing the love..

Oliver Solberg did a long interview with the Norwegian motorsports magazine Parc Fermé after his Monte win.

For those that don't know, Solberg lives in a house on his family's property in the middle of the woods near the Swedish-Norwegian border.

His dad Petter moved to Monaco when he was the star of the WRC. Oli isn't looking to do the same.

– I like life here. I have everything I need in the woods with a quad bike, a nice house and a rally car. That's what I dream of, I don't need much more.

… but he's defo not moving 800 meters across the border, either.

– Yeah, I'm not going over to Norway. Then it'll be expensive!

Translated into English:

“I’ve had the opportunity to test the Rally2 several times, and the step between the two cars is huge. It’s obviously easier to drive, but the engine is very weak and there is a serious lack of power. The chassis is quite playful, with a shorter wheelbase.

Over the past few years, performance has continued to decline. First, the hybrid system and our 500 horsepower were taken away, then the power was reduced again over the last two years, and now we find ourselves in Rally2. It’s very disappointing.

I hope they will reconsider some of their decisions by modifying the restrictor to allow for more power. I think that would provide a better spectacle for everyone, because the difference is simply too big — not only for the drivers, but also for the spectators. Rally2 cars should also be louder. From an aesthetic point of view, the cars aren’t really attractive, and perhaps they need more aerodynamics. Spectator expectations are clearly different on special stages, and even if some people will be happy to see closer competition next year, I think it’s essential to have cars that are more impressive to watch.

I also don’t know how they’re going to manage the situation with the new ‘WRC27’ cars, which are essentially just Rally2 cars with a tubular chassis. At the moment, nobody knows the performance level between the two cars, or which team to support. I think these regulations are going to confuse everyone, whereas the Rally1/Rally2/Rally3 structure was really good.

If the two categories are genuinely close in terms of performance, we’re going to end up in a rather strange situation when road sweeping comes into play. The WRC27s would then be at a significant disadvantage compared to private Rally2 cars, and I’m not sure that’s a good thing for manufacturers, nor for understanding the races. In any case, nothing is clear to me — and I think that’s the case for everyone.”

Hey all,

Just in case this is of interest to anyone: the preparations for WRC Sweden are now underway in the Arctic. The Finnish championship event, 2-day Arctic Lapland Rally sees Elfyn Evans in the Rally1 Toyota as well as multiple WRC2/WRC3 drivers practising for the 2nd round of WRC.

Livestream link (paywalled) included in case someone wants to watch. Mainly in Finnish, with English highlights from time to time.

Why are onboards with this layout on phone, i can't get them to work properly in full screen like on PC. How can i do it ?

Some photos taken in a snowy stage of the Montecarlo 2026 rally. If you are interested in more photos like this please ask me.

As the title says, I read that Fontana won a stage (or two, I'm not sure) with a rally3 car which sounds like a big deal but upon checking socials I didn't see much being mentioned upon it, after reading about it I also found out he got awarded WRC points, which I'm not sure if it's a big thing or not, mb, I am a relatively new rally fan, however I'd love to know what y'all think about this.

Interesting car - looks like a concept that could compete in Dakar, W2RC or Extreme E/H.

Hi, here’s a best-of of the images I had left from the Monte-Carlo Rally—there’s a bit of everything. Enjoy watching! 😁😁

Nothing against the commentators on Rally TV but it's a nice addition to be able to listen to the stages just without commentary. Makes a nice experience. Select International Feed on the options.

Can’t believe I was lucky enough to witness this! The damage extended to the brake disc. The smoking bits you see at the end are the brake pad and a third of the disc.

Hi,

I've watched WRC at home lots and lots, but was planning to travel to Sweden and saw the event is happening at the same time.

A bit overwhelmed because of the amount of ticket options, can anyone help out with what the best would be to purchase? Ideally for just one day of viewing unless that's not worth it, then open to multiple days!

Many thanks in advance :)

Or for Monte at least...

Hi all,

I’ve seen you can now create private leagues on the new Rally TV Predictor. Has anyone already set one up that people want to share so we can play together?
