WRC 2017

Post by Clarkie » Sat Feb 11, 2017 1:38 pm

Heads up Rally Sweden on this weekend :thumbsup

Cars are updated for 2017 with wide track, mega aero package (check the rear bodywork and F1 mirrors on the Yaris!). 380 bhp and 450Nm of torques.
Super quick, stage 12 cancelled today (FIA stating too fast), on initial run Ott Tanak had an average speed of nearly 86mph, on snow, max average meant to be 70mph :shock: :D

Coverage available on BT Sport, Motors TV and http://www.wrc.com, good website. WRC+ is subscription service which gives you live viewing throughout the event.

Not back to golden days of Group B (not possible in modern era) but new cars have certainly reinvigorated the sport , car control/commitment is stunning 8)

RMC was shown on C5 a few weeks back - was a great watch. They were usung drones for TV coverage on some corners and it made the drifting really amazing....
