The end result went begging for Mārtiņš Sesks in Latvia, but it doesn't matter - the statement he has made to the entire World Rally Championship service park is emphatic. The question now: what happens next? M-Sport team principal Richard Millener has already said he'd love to have Sesks back in the car, but how feasible is that? If Sesks can't make an M-Sport reunion work, what other options does he have? Could there potentially be room at Hyundai with its third-driver strategy for 2025 coming under review, or does he need to wait until a new manufacturer signals interest in the WRC and needs a driver it can mould around its project? But Sesks wasn't the only talking point: what about Sébastien Ogier? Could we really <i> see him commit to the thing he always said he wouldn't ever do - doing effectively a full season again and potentially chasing that record-equalling ninth world title? Then there's the road order debate - does a qualifying stage need to be considered again? And has Toyota got to revise its team order strategy, with Takamoto Katsuta stealing points from Elfyn Evans on the powerstage?

The World Rally Championship heads to a new location this week as Rally Latvia makes its WRC debut. And that’s the focus of this week’s edition of SPIN, The Rally Pod. Host Alasdair Lindsay is joined by Colin Clark and George Donaldson to look ahead to the action in Liepāja. With Toyota fielding both Kalle Rovanperä and Sébastien Ogier in Latvia, each with advantageous road positions, how will that affect the battle at the front? Will they take points away from the title contenders, or will the likes of Ott Tänak and Elfyn Evans have to alter their approach? After his stunning Rally1 debut in Poland, Mārtiņš Sesks’ chances on home ground are another talking point – as is the WRC debut of ARA champion Brandon Semenuk, where he will come up against the highly-competitive field of WRC2 regulars.

It’s a SPIN of two halves this week, with David Evans catching up with Colin Clark post-Finke in Australia, and Brenten Kelly in America following the latest ARA action at Southern Ohio Forest Rally. Or that was the plan. Then World Motor Sport Council made its announcements in Uzbekistan and, predictably, there was lots to talk about. Even though there were no changes to the technical regulations, the debate raged for quite some time. Now, the talk is of what comes next. If you’re a technically minded person within the FIA or the teams, the 2027 homologation cycle is almost upon us and rules have to be written fairly sharpish. Colin Clark reckons these could be the most important rules the governing body has ever written. What do you think? Join the chat in the comments.

Following last weekend’s Rally Italy Sardinia, Hyundai is 13 points clear of Toyota in the World Rally Championship’s manufacturers’ standings, and Thierry Neuville and Ott Tänak are sitting first and second in the drivers’ points. So is Toyota in crisis? That’s a question we ask on this week’s edition of SPIN, The Rally Pod. Host David Evans is joined by George Donaldson, Brenten Kelly and Jon Scoltock to dissect Sardinia’s major talking points. Is Toyota’s use of its part-time drivers not helping Elfyn Evans’ title chances? Did Neuville get it wrong by pushing too hard on Saturday? And what about the ‘sprint’ format of the event: did it work? We also look ahead to the American Rally Association’s latest round this weekend, the Southern Ohio Forest Rally.

Oregon Trail Rally threw plenty of curveballs. The headline was both Subaru factory cars retiring within a mile of one another and opening the door for its 12-rally winning streak to be broken. But it was about more than Subaru’s unexpected disaster. An ARA cameo might become something more after Ricardo Cordero got to taste the winner’s champagne – albeit at the expense of a potential first win for Sam Albert’s Ferrari-powered Subaru. And then there’s the story of how Sean Edwards went to extreme lengths to keep his Volvo in the race. Brenten Kelly, David Evans and Alasdair Lindsay are joined by Edwards in this week’s SPIN, The Rally Pod to talk everything Oregon Trail.

A dramatic Rally Portugal brought plenty of talking points to the World Rally Championship last weekend. While Toyota’s Sébastien Ogier secured his second consecutive WRC victory with a masterclass performance, Hyundai driver Thierry Neuville significantly extended his lead atop the drivers’ championship standings. Titles are won by maximizing your points on events where winning isn’t possible, and Neuville appears to have mastered that approach. Was it a champions’ drive that we witnessed last weekend? Our experts have their say on this week’s edition of SPIN, The Rally Pod, as Colin Clark and Jon Scoltock are joined by ex-driver Simon Hughes to discuss the action. A deflated Elfyn Evans and his unflappable co-driver Scott Martin, the rise of Adrien Fourmaux into a leading contender, and Portuguese ice cream are just a few more of the topics the intrepid trio chew over.

Croatia Rally’s ‘Super Sunday’ proved to be particularly dramatic as mistakes by Thierry Neuville and Elfyn Evans on the same stage proved costly on the latest round of the World Rally Championship. But just how did those errors occur? Were Neuville and Evans unlucky or could they consider themselves fortunate to be able to continue and limit their time loss? Ott Tänak too had his fair show of moments on the treacherous SS18, while Adrien Fourmaux lost more time than anyone – but bounced back to win the powerstage. George Donaldson and David Evans join host Alasdair Lindsay for the latest edition of SPIN, The Rally Pod, where George provides expert analysis on the moments in question. Rally winner Sébastien Ogier’s scathing indictment of the 2024 points system provides another talking point, while there is also discussion of Croatia’s chances of appearing on the 2025 calendar and the latest driver set to compete aboard Rally1 machinery.

Thierry Neuville heads to this week’s Croatia Rally with a six-point lead in the World Rally Championship standings. He’s been at the top of the pile ever since the season kicked off in January - but he’s had to rely on some stunning ‘Super Sunday’ performances on the past two rounds. Is the Hyundai driver building a sustained title bid? Or can Elfyn Evans find that elusive sweet spot with his Toyota GR Yaris and strike a momentum-swinging blow on a rally he won last year? With pressure building on Ott Tänak to produce a strong result, Adrien Fourmaux seeking a third consecutive podium, and returns for eight-time world champion Sébastien Ogier and Andreas Mikkelsen, there's plenty of WRC talking points for Colin Clark and David Evans on this week’s SPIN, The Rally Pod. The pair also look back on a fantastic Otago Rally in New Zealand and ponder the state of play with the WRC calendar.

Colin Clark and David Evans discuss what draws folk from all over the world to the wonderful city of Dunedin for the event. The pair also ponder the future of the WRC, where many key suggestions from the FIA’s working group have been overshadowed by the debate over technical regulations, while the European and British Rally Championship’s season-openers are further topics covered on the pod.

Finnish drivers used to dominate the WRC, but none has won a title since Marcus Gronholm in 2002. Though Kalle Rovanpera might rectify that anomaly soon, why has the drought gone on so long?

When it comes to rallying photography, Colin McMaster is one of the best in the business. In this edition of Spin, the Rally Pod, our voice of rally Colin Clark meets with McMaster (while observing social distancing measures) to lift the lid on McMaster's career behind the lens - from convincing teachers in South Africa to allow him to study photography rather than taking Afrikaans lessons, to his first big break shooting for Subaru, and how he met his hero-turned-business partner, Reinhard Klein. There's also a look back at McMaster's memories of a sodden edition of Rally Portugal in 2001, as part of DirtFish's Rally Portugal week.

Our chats with Derek Dauncey about Mitsubishi's Safari Rally heroics in recent weeks have given an incredible insight into just how tough the legendary Kenyan event was in the 1990s. Now SPIN's own George Donaldson lifts the lid on an even more demanding era. Starting in the 1980s, his stint in a lead role at Toyota came when the manufacturer took the Safari incredibly seriously - with weeks-long recces, specialized development programs and team personnel including George spending as much as six months of the year in Kenya. Settle in for a fascinating reminisce about those extraordinary days. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .

Remember the story of Rally of Great Britain 1998? Of course you do. It’s a story all about Tommi Mäkinen, Carlos Sainz and Bodmin builder Nigel Barnett. It’s a story all about their Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV, Toyota Corolla WRC and Hillman Imp. Ringing a few bells now? Thought so. Derek Dauncey was Mitsubishi Ralliart’s man in the middle of the Millbrook crisis when Mäkinen removed the right rear wheel against a concrete block - thanks to oil from that Imp. For the next three days, the Finn and his team thought that was the end of his world championship. It wasn’t, it was just the beginning of an unforgettable rollercoaster ride for Andrew Cowan’s team – ending on the highest possible high. This one is, however, the first half of a fascinating story. Next week, Colin Clark talks to then Toyota team manager George Donaldson about the disappointment that led Carlos Sainz’s co-driver Luis Moya to find a new way of putting his crash helmet back in the car… See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .

Mitsubishi scored a second Safari Rally win in three years on the 1998 event. This one was particularly special for British fans with Richard Burns taking his maiden WRC win and backing up Colin McRae’s Kenyan victory of 12 months earlier. Typically for the Safari, it was anything but straightforward, as Mitsubishi Ralliart’s Derek Dauncey tells David Evans in the second of his interviews looking into life among the Lancers in the Nineties. This time, for the first time, Andrew Cowan’s Rugby-based team was running a brace of cars, something that brought plenty of challenges as well as doubling the potential for success.

If today’s World Rally Champion could offer Ott Tänak some career advice 10 years ago, what would it be? And what did he really think of his move from Toyota to Hyundai? Talking about Hyundai, what’s Andrea Adamo really like and does he say yes more than he says no. All of these questions and more – including his first thoughts on Sébastien Ogier joining him and Elfyn Evans at M-Sport – are answered in an insightful DirtFish SPIN, The Rally Pod interview with our defending world champ. He also has a word or two for those who think he’s a bit too brief in his interviews...

Thirty-four years ago the world of rallying was robbed of a driver destined for global glory and years at the very top of our sport. May 2, 1986 was the day Henri Toivonen and co-driver Sergio Cresto lost their lives in a Tour de Corse crash which changed the face of rallying. Lisa O’Sullivan leads an intriguing and emotive history lesson into one of the life and times of the mercurial Finn. David Evans, George Donaldson and Colin Clark analyse Toivonen’s impact on the sport, the man himself, where he came from and where he was heading. There’s also a look into the ramifications of the accident which spelled the end of Group B, world rallying’s most controversial four-year formula.

In a particularly shouty and argumentative Spin, David Evans and George Donaldson wind poor Colin Clark up terribly. The cause of the debate? Is Ypres one of the best rallies in the world? Or is it all straight, nineties, chips and mayonnaise? If you’ve never heard the Voice of Rally on the rev limiter, tune in… Fascinating debate, with thought-provoking insight from DG and Lisa O’Sullivan on the impact of the current global pandemic on our sport and the wider world.

How many Haribo does it take to make a bus ride from Asia to England? Tune in and find out. Except you won’t, the boys lost count of how many bags they ate returning from Istanbul and the 2010 Rally Turkey. Remember Icelandic-the-unpronounceable, that volcano that caused total travel chaos? Colin Clark and David Evans will never forget three nights and four days travelling through Turkey, Romania, Austria, Slovakia (it might have been Serbia, they’re not sure...), possibly Czech Republic, almost certainly Hungary, a bit of Germany, a touch of France and, oddly, even a bit of Belgium. A decade on and George Donaldson is still enjoying the fact he didn’t go to the event and watched the Eyjafjallajokull madness unfold from the comfort of a packet of his favourite crisps (that might be chips, depending which side of the Pond you’re reading this). Lisa O’Sullivan presides brilliantly over painful - and occasionally amusing - memories of the non-party bus home from round four of the 2010 World Rally Championship. (There’s even the odd sneaky story from the party bus). See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .

You might have gathered, the DirtFish team would rather be elsewhere this week. We’d rather be in Villa Carlos Paz reporting on round four of this year’s World Rally Championship, the SpeedAgro Rally Argentina. Just because we’re not, doesn’t mean we can’t talk about it. So we did. In this edition of Spin, The Rally Pod, Lisa O’Sullivan focuses the attention of George Donaldson, David Evans and Colin Clark on Argentina and a whole host of South American stories. George tells the world how and why he made Nicky Grist cry, Colin reveals the moment he revealed his naked chest to the post-rally party and David talks about retractable pencils. Looking for advice ahead of her Argentina debut, Lisa is given some clear, concise and consistent dietary guidance. In preparation for the parrilla... vegetables.

Italian Andrea Adamo was recruited to the very top of Hyundai Motorsport at the start of 2019. In turn, in his first season in charge, he delivered the Korean manufacturer to the very top of the World Rally Championship. His method and approach reflect the glorious Lancia-defined era in which he grew up. In a little over 12 months, he’s polarised opinion in the service park. Not that he cares. His mission statement talks of winning rallies, rather than popularity contests. But his charisma is captivating. Here he talks at length to DirtFish’s David Evans about – among other things – one-word answers, the bible and Brabham's BT52.

For thousands of rally fans out there Mitsubishi Ralliart was the 1990s in the World Rally Championship. And Derek Dauncey was the man in the middle of that Rugby-based Mitsubishi outfit. In what’s going to be the first of many interviews (hence this is Part 1 of Now that’s what Derek calls the 1990s…), Dauncey talks DirtFish through two pivotal events for Andrew Cowan’s Lancer squad. We’re in 1996 for both, the first is the Safari Rally - an outstanding tale of Ralliart’s first attempt at the Kenyan marathon - and the second is one of the Asia Pacific Rally Championship’s most arduous journeys from Hong Kong to Beijing.

The Rally Pod team are rewinding the clock in the latest episode of Spin to review the career (so far) of Six-time World Champion Sebastien Ogier. The plan was to cover the lot in one episode - but with so many tales to tell the team only managed to get as far as 2011. Oh and Colin’s worried his hair may never regrow after rashly allowing his children to “cut” it.

In the most entertaining Spinning The Line The Rally Pod yet, the team set about more of the service park’s most incredible stories. But in addition to what went on when George Donaldson was flying high over the route for Rally Argentina, you’ll also get the lowdown on world rallying’s finest potato - and mushroom - producers. On the subject of potatoes, we also investigate the WRC’s crisp (chip if you’re listening Stateside) of choice. Predictably, controversy’s not far away... Add in some Lancia team manager Ninni Russo, words about the WRC’s much-missed journalistic guru David Williams (and his shoes) and the opportunity to name Colin Clark’s haggis-based (and, according to GD overcooked) recipe and you’ve got the fifth edition of The Rally Pod.
