A word about the WRC.
Nov 13th, 2007 by Keith Topham
Although I’m a Formula 1 fan at heart, I do follow motorsports generally. Well not so much American motorsports, despite my nearly 10 year tenure here.
The 2007 World Rally Championship has also been one of the most exciting for a while, with it potentially going down to the wire. Rally Ireland is this weekend (Nov 16-18), and is the penultimate round of this years Championship. Only Rally GB remains, at the end of month.
Currently Marcus Grönholm (Ford) holds a 4 point lead over Sébastien Loeb (Citroën) after they both crashed out in Rally Japan at the end of October, scoring 0 points each. Here’s hoping that it goes down to the final race in Wales.
Of course 2007 will also be sadly remembered for the loss of one of the greatest rally drivers the UK (Scotland), if not the world, as ever seen, in a helicopter accident. My thoughts go out to his family.
This is how I’ll remember him (vroom vroom)
