Rallye de Balagne ’20

Rallye de Balagne Rally Week

This regular event in France, the Rallye de Balagne, is important that it has at least taken place. In the context of these days, when uncertainty is more than action, it’s good to see cars moving somewhere. And it gives hope, no matter what the situation in the World is – we may no longer have the time of several months when the whole action took place in garages and E-space.

Rally Internazionale Storico Costa Smeralda ’20

Rally Internazionale Storico Costa Smeralda

A couple of months ago, I had the great pleasure of hearing one really extremely interesting interview. So I had a thought, to write about another woman in the rally world. She is, among other things, one of the most famous female co-drivers, 1892m. receiving the Halda Award – the highest evaluation trophy that a reader of the pace notes can receive.

Rally Elektrėnai ’20

Rally Elektrėnai 2020 Rally Week

The Lithuanian rally caravan, having traveled to the western and northern regions of the country, turned a little further south, to Rally Elektrėnai. A fun-filled season has been somewhat hampered by the renewed theatre of mask’s restrictions, but the community’s stubbornness seems to be far greater than the obstacles, so we’re successfully moving on. As one canceled event is replaced by another, guests are given all the help to reach our country and although part of the Elektrėnai Rally program was canceled, it has been compensated by the pace of the participants and excellent views in the special stages. Not to mention the impressive work of the media teams when you can actually experience the rally on the couch. Not yet WRC +, but at such a pace…

M-Sport Return to Rally Stages ’20

M-Sport Return to Stages Rally Week

Most recently, I wrote about Rally di Alba, from which Hyundai WRC team boss A. Adamo made a celebration in Italy with his connections and enthusiasm, even bigger than the European Rally Championship event that took place in Rome. Now a tribute to the local rally community is made by another man in charge of the WRC team. This time it’s Malcolm Wilson and M-Sport. So M-Sport Return to Rally Stages.
