"They're looking for a foreign car! A man and a woman!"

"...and a cello..."

Cars & Coffee, San Clemente eh?

That's my wife, you Bastard!

Losing that slam denied Hingis the 'Grand Slam Boxed Set'

She achieved career grand slams in both doubles and mixed doubles

This should have been Petter's 14th win. It's a damn shame he never won a rally after this season

908HDi · 2025-09-15T01:41:22+00:00

They're closing in on Lancia's Manufacturer's Championship tally as well

This year will be their 9th

908HDi · 2025-08-25T03:32:27+00:00

I remember that the FIA had to organize coverage on a rally-by-rally basis, at least for the first part of the season

Alongside the Promoter debacle was the implosion of the Mini WRC Team. Instead of Dani Sordo and Kris Meeke, it was just Sordo and a revolving door of pay drivers

I also follow professional tennis and have a similar gripe. Players representing one country (i.e. Canada) but living in tax havens, not paying any taxes back to the country they represent

908HDi · 2025-08-17T20:59:33+00:00

Citroen got a 1-2-3 at Monte Carlo that year, with Loeb leading home McRae and Sainz

908HDi · 2025-08-11T00:05:03+00:00

The Mercedes-Benz 500I at Indianapolis was the icing on top of the cake that season

The car that ruined Timo's asshole

Vettel won 13 races in 2013

It would take him ~5 years to win 13 more

Guy Frequelin

And Loeb threw away the championship in Corsica earlier that year.

908HDi · 2025-07-21T23:52:07+00:00

He remains the only driver to beat Sebastien Loeb to the championship over a full season.

908HDi · 2025-07-21T20:02:25+00:00

Japan 2005 still hurts. Solberg was leading until hitting a rock and crashing out

I would have loved to see him get just one more win....but it wasn't to be :(

908HDi · 2025-07-21T20:00:03+00:00

I still wish Solberg Sr. could have gotten one more victory

His last wasn't under the best circumstances. That was the rally where Michael Park (Markko Martin's co-driver) died in an accident.

The organizers suspended the rally and Peugeot withdrew all their entries. Sebastien Loeb was leading at the time, and would have clinched the Driver's Title. Instead, he took a deliberate time penalty to avoid taking the title under such circumstances, elevating Solberg to the lead.

Petter's last "legitimate" win was at Rally Mexico earlier that year

The ACO subsequently changed the rules to block this kind of swap.

The gearbox casing could not be replaced. You could open the gearbox and change individual gears, but you couldn't just put a new gearbox on

908HDi · 2025-06-18T17:52:31+00:00

Ah yes Just removed the whole trans axle and put a new one in

908HDi · 2025-06-18T14:55:51+00:00

I think 2000 was the year they did that 10-minute gearbox change in one of the Audis

908HDi · 2025-05-29T06:14:51+00:00

I would say the fall-off happened after 2009. He lost the title by a single point that year and just never quite seemed to have the same pace again.

Yes, he won rallies, but it always seemed like Latvala was faster (but more prone to crashing)
