El vuelco de Takamoto Katsuta, luego del vuelco se canceló el tramo de Artigas

As a relatively new rally fan, I'm very curious how the community is able to watch an event that dominates so many hours in a compressed amount of time. Do you pick and choose portions of stages to watch? Do you say goodbye to your loved ones for 3-4 days and stay glued to onboards?

What's the best balance you've found?

For me these days, I'll watch all the top class entries for the first few stages, and then as times separate skip ahead to podium contenders to reduce time spent per stage. It's still a lot of viewing and can get dicey with scheduling a weekend, but I also can't help but feel I'm missing out on some really great content.

for me it's close between 1983 acropolis, 1995 catalunya, and 2014 finland

acropolis for the "fragile" lancias triumphing over the audis

catalunya for the drama surrounding the subaru team orders debacle and the toyota turbo scandal

finalnd for latvala and ogier coming down to the final stage

Does anyone know what Sebastien had to say to these two?

After Kenya rally this year I really felt like taka had matured as a driver and was a lot more confident and could maybe mount a run for the championship if not win it at least be in the running towards the end of the season and he was in really good form until Estonia but now it feels like his relentless drive for success is causing him to make mistakes that are costing him and the team a lot especially after paraguay, it felt like a rally he could make some noise in having a decent starting position but him crashing out not even 5km into the first stage felt like the nail in the coffin for his championship hopes because momentum, good form and consistency are so important and Pajari is in amazing form right now winning 3 in a row. (Fingers crossed he can recover and still put up a fight in the last 3 events)

I hope there have been—and will continue to be—more conversations like this, and that they prove fruitful for the future of the sport. I also hope I’ll be able to say the same about the talks between Thierry and Hyundai management 😁

=> EDIT: MBS should resign from FIA President ofc <=

. . . and it's the legend of legends! Absolutely stoked. (Forgive the poor quality picture.)

So let me be clear , if Sami or Oliver win this championship I'll be very happy no doubt about it , however Elfyn is so freaking close (I'm an Elfyn fan since last year ), I know there's still three more rallies and I want him to win but with the pace that Sami has shown and also Oliver (when the car works and the engine doesn't die ) is getting really tense for me .

If Elfyn is going to win it I believe is this year , Ogier is no longer in the tittle fight (he said it himself) so I think /want Elfyn to win it this year so he can break the "second place " curse he has carried from the last few years.

Hey everyone,

I’m a Chinese semiconductor engineer based in Munich and planning to head down for Rally Italia Sardegna 2026 to watch the gravel stages live.

Since none of my local friends follow WRC, I’m hoping to connect with other fans who are also going or thinking about going! Would be great to share stage tips, spectator locations, or logistics for chasing the SS stages.
