Photo by: Rusty Probst Cheraw, South Carolina, USA Driver Chris Greenhouse and codriver Danny Norkus fought through tremendous adversity and nagging mechanical difficulties long enough to steal the 2WD win at Sandblast Rally 2018. The team had to come back from an early penalty for illegal service before the first stage had started. To make matters worse, the delay in getting to the first stage also moved them to the back of the start order which forced them to drive on a much rougher stage than the lead cars and required them…

Some have said to be careful what you wish for as more power is dangerous and could bring back the tragedies from the days of Group B. In the simplest of terms that is in fact…

Read MoreRed Bull GRC – Season Kicks Off This Weekend in Ft. Lauderdale
The Red Bull Global Rallycross Championship kicks off this weekend on the streets of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. We’ve been excited about the new 2015 season for a couple of reasons. For one, the finale last year was simply epic with the young Finn Joni Wiman (pronounced “yon-ee” “Vee-man”) of Olsbergs MSE coming out as the champion narrowly beating out chief Hoonigan Ken Block. The other reason is that the series showed remarkable improvement as the season went on with ever improving track designs and better racing between drivers. If this season is…
