The rally world is abuzz with FIA’s total revamp of the WRC. The video above explains very well all the differences. In paper, it looks REALLY cool, but will it work out? In my eyes the biggest issue is the small difference that will exist between Rally2 and WRC27 cars 🤔. FIA is gambling that that won’t matter in the end. Well, if a lot of “constructors” buy into the new rules, I guess it probably won’t, but if not… 😨

Peugeot 307 WRX decal job
Though I was VERY pleased with my Peugeot 307 WRX #7, it had an issue. A TERRIFIC model from AUTOart, but with an incomplete livery 😏. Fortunately I was able to source a decal set and now it looks super. Not the easiest decal job I ever did, but now my model looks much better.

Group B in HD!
Stumbled upon this 4-minutes gem the other day. Usually, Group B rallying footage isn’t the best. Well, back in the 80s we didn’t have HD videos, so most of the stuff that you can find on YouTube is low definition. Yet, this video is in HD! The audio track is chill, with mostly not-terrible music and some original ambient sound. In the end, a pretty neat video for the rally fan.
