Hi everybody, hope everyone is well. A bit of a backstory I’m turning 22 this December and decided next year I want to go a few solo trips around Europe for long weekends travelling solo is something I have never done before but I thought this year would be a good year to try it out.
Walls doing research for conscious to visit I came across the rally here in Sweden and I’m a big motorsport fan in general mainly F1 so it got my interest.
Can people give me tips and advice of the event as a whole and what I should expect. Would really appreciate any feedback or insight into the rally as it first for me.
Thank you very much hopefully, I get some replies 😂
Borderline thing to say but consider yourself to be lucky not meeting him in person as it hurts way more. Was such a brilliant man and driver!
I’m now checking daily and nothing 😂 also the last part of the “more than machine” YouTube series following the ford team. Maybe I’m just impatient but I think that short docu series has been brilliant and should be an annual thing. I am new to the sport, I am loving it and even got the wife in on it haha Is fourmaux off to Hyundai…? What’s your thoughts!?
As I mentioned in the title, did Toyota intend to use the blown diffuser trick with the placement of the exhaust, or was it simply designed that way?
Hi all looking to attend one of next years events. Looking to buy as a Christmas present, does anyone know if there is package deals or anything similar , or what the best way about booking it will be . Traveling from Ireland. Any and all help appreciated.
McRae choking the championship at the end.
Mitsubishi choking the championship by forcing Makinen to switch cars mid season and gave him a worse car.
Peugeot potentially choking a championship by not having Rovanpera do every rally (not really on them but still funny)
Marcus Gronholm choking a championship by retiring from 7 of the first 8 races and still only finished 8 points off the title
And Burns coming out of nowhere to win it all, Sainz was also really close to winning it all, so so so competitive
Also a final win for Didier Auriol, the beginning of Citroen, Gilles Panizzi balling out too
My apologies if I missed a faq section somewhere in this subreddit. I did a quick search for this question and saw a few posts, (the most recent being from last year) but wasnt sure how answers may have changed given some of the new stops added.
I live in the US and know absolutely nothing about WRC. My father does not either. However, he has always expressed great interest in going to see an event. Earlier this year he suffered a heart attack (hes doing good now). I live across the country from him and this really made me realize hes not going to be around for forever. For Christmas I would like to surprise him with a list of the 2025 WRC stops and have him pick an event/destination that we can go to.
I saw one thread where someone asked a similiar question and Finland seemed to be one of the top answers. Is that still the general consensus? Someone had also mentioned there are “WRC travel agencies”. Have any of you used one of them and if so how was it?
If any of you traveled to an event please respond with how it was, how you liked the country, what it had to offer in addition to seeing the actual racing and also the cost associated with the trip as a whole (especially if you traveled from the US).
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Hello! We're planning our Monza rally show trip, but having never been there, and with the somewhat different nature of the event, I have a couple doubts I hope someone can help me dispell. Is spectating limited to the grandstands, or can you move around the other parts of the circuit? Are there any particular info we should be aware of, special places to be? I'm happy to accept any advice.
Hello everyone, is my first time that I'm planning to attend Rally Monte Carlo and I'm a bit unsure where is the best area to book a hotel and all essential things I should consider. Any advice will be great. Thanks
