2011 WRC Season

TarJak · 05-19-11, 07:45 AM

Are there any WRC fans out there in Subsim land? How do you see the new car format shaping up this season so far after the first 5 rounds?

For all the excitement about Ken Block joining the fray he has been a bit disappointing I think. Though given his background it will probably take him a few seasons to get comfortable with European conditions. Loeb is currently leading with Hirvonen pretty close behind. Who are you hoping comes away with the prize?

They stopped broadcasting it here on free TV, so I've lost touch with the WRC.

We get a highlights package every weekend on free TV except when the circus comes to town. Then we get pretty good coverage.

Me too, and when it gets to my country it's always a bazillion miles away! Although seeing this thread has reminded me about the Race of Champions which I've just looked up is in Frankfurt 3/4 December. Now to waste some hours looking up flight/train fares.

WRC? I gather it's some kind of car race?
