Back to a rally theme, here’s the trailer for what looks to be (and is supposed to be, according to reviews so far) a brilliant new documentary about the sport. Easier Said Than Done looks at rallying (largely from an American perspective, which is interesting enough…) but also takes in the wider struggle to attract […]

Three-time Le Mans winner, ex-F1 driver and blatantly small Scotsman Allan McNish was the guest editor of the magnificent UK magazine ‘Motorsport’ for the October edition, so they also took the opportunity to talk to him for their regular podcast. Here is the result. Enjoy!
Feast your eyes on this thoroughly magnificent video that is pretty much just Seb-2 and his co-driver Julien Ingrassia in slow motion. Who is Seb-2? Sebastien Ogier, of course, with Sebastien Loeb being Seb-1, while Sebastian Vettel is commonly referred to as “That annoying little German twat” and Sebastien Bordais is just “who?”
Formula One fans are well used to brightly-coloured, noisy bird-brains making inane predictions that make no sense whatsoever to anyone with a grain of knowledge about the sport – after all, Eddie Jordan has been around for ages now.

With his Skoda Fabia rally car repaired following a rough start to Rally Australia, Hayden Paddon attacked today’s six competitive stages to take four WRC2 category stage victories and set times inside the top ten of the World Rally Championship (WRC) field. After the electrical issues which prevented Paddon and co-driver John Kennard from making […]
With 1,800kW of power and roughly 6,800Nm of torque the Banks Super-Turbo Freightliner is a thing of mechanical beauty. And terror. Sheer, sphincter-clenching terror. With a supercharger, a turbocharger, methanol-injection and Hollywood stuntman (read: insane, crazy person with no fear who will do anything) Mike Ryan driving it, there is clearly no more insane way […]
The GIF is awesome enough, but check out the on-board video of this Soviet-era GAZ truck competing in the Rally of Estonia! Note at about the 1.45 mark he drives off the road, but instead of crashing into the trees, simply drives over them. That is the way to rally…
