Did ya watch Rally Ireland? Sure looks like coverage of an amateur series with only Ford and Citroen left for manufacturers. Fun to see the juggling at the top before the usual script took over. The Friday/Saturday morning shots were neat - after 8am and very dreary and dark there. A respectable performance from Chris Atkinson too.

This will be a very lean year for WRC, and a near lock for Loeb. Only 12 rallies. It's a shame the sport has devolved from its recent peak of the late 90s/early 00s. It will get better, but could the sport ever return to top those crazy McRae/Sainz/Gronholm/Auriol battles?

The TV coverage showed one privateer Subaru a few times. That was it.

Atkinson had a one-off drive in a Citroen C4. Henning Solberg was about the only one with a personality on the weekend's coverage.

The Adapta Rally Team will be running a 08 Impreza WRC in Norway for round 2, supposedly they are getting support from Prodrive.
