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.

Kehala Ralli ’20
What to do, when everything around you is plunging back into a pandemic stagnation, autumn mood, and there are still unresolved issues, untested adjustments to car settings, kilometers not covered, and so on? You just take and organize a small rally to put the last points on the letter i.

You will rarely find a gravel rally in Germany. Maybe because of this and the late-year dates, this event is really popular and brings together a very varied list of attendees.

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. Plus she’s one of two people in history who has earned points at the World Rally Championship as a driver and as a co-driver. And here last week, Mrs. Fabrizia Pons put another cup on her shelf.

Things in the first 2020 months in Lithuania were not at the best. After Dakar, only one positive thing was to watch on WRC+, as Deividas Jociuscius was reaching his dreams to start in WRC Monte Carlo with the latest spec WRC car. And he proudly made it. But after that, since winter took a vacation, the only news you were about to hear – another canceled event due to warm weather. And then later mister quarantine knocked on the door saying – no more rallying for You.

On the occasion that the World Rally Championship will probably end in Belgium, I will give a bit of attention to it. And also to one woman from there whose car you see in the photo of this post. So, Rallye Sprint du Trefle.

Yes, I also have never heard of this Rally Bilmetro. And nothing strange, it happens irregularly and infrequently. But somehow this last stage of the Swedish championship has as many as four interesting hooks to hang out for. Let’s get started.

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…

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.

This period after opening the walls until the first stage of the WRC in Estonia is interesting, because various rallies in Europe which received only a constellation of local significance, this summer accept such guests and their equipment that they could only dream of before.
