Read MoreFeel free to slot this under “what the hell are they thinking”, but it appears through some reporting out of England that Lotus may be set to go rally. I should say ahead of time that I don’t see this happening whatsoever. The level of involvement Lotus has put forth in GT/Le Mans/INDYCAR makes sense. The British company has a circuit racing pedigree with their tiny and very nimble cars. Taking them off road onto the gravel is a business era of mammoth proportions in my mind. Stick to what…

Read MoreRumors and reports have surfaced that show Subaru may be keen to return home in the WRC. The Japanese rally icon has been absent for the last few years after the economic downturn forced many companies to halt motorsport operations to ensure financial security. Subaru was one such brand that chose to withdraw its machine due to what some called financial issues and what others called lack of competitiveness. It is no secret that Subaru looked really really bad towards the end of their time in WRC. However, now it…
Read MoreThe MINI WRC team has withdrawn their car driven by Kris Meeke for Rally Estonia. While not a World Rally event, the national rally will be used as a test bed for some teams heading into the legendary round in Finland. The entry list has a lot of talent as Markko Martin looks to defend last year’s title. Mads Ostberg will also be participating in a Ford Fiesta WRC. The team was forced to withdraw the entry after a testing crash caused severe damage to the John Cooper works machine.…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadJoin the crew for a heated discussion on all things Toronto. Needless to say this cast is rated T for teen given some rather strong language. Shaun and Mike strongly disagree with the Dario/Power situation. Shaun calls out Will Power for being a crybaby but explains he is frustrated that Penske does all he can to lose himself the title (that is the context…save the hate mail).

Read MoreWe have seen this episode once before. A hot upstart young gun taking the fight to his championship winning teammate throughout the title race. A deal that was supposed to start as both drivers receiving number one treatment and now a bit of animosity begins to build as the title race heats up. Think back to 2007 when Lewis Hamilton competed his rookie season against double world champion Fernando Alonso and now look to the WRC and Sebastien Loeb/Ogier and the situations have a number of similarities. The only big…
