Solberg enters Volkswagen tie-up for 2017 World RX campaign

Shall I start a rx thread?

Petter is a great character

 

[DC.]

He sure is. World Motorsport is a better place with him in it!

 

[DEEJAY.B]

Seen him this time last year in Birmingham ,

 

[DC.]

Prodrive and Renault to enter World RX in 2018

 

[Gambit]

Any tv channels covering it this year?

 

[DC.]

I think Quest have the rights for it. Maybe Sunday highlights on ITV4 too.

 

[weeloaney]

Good man @DC. i never got round to starting one.

@svensktoppen

 

[DC.]

@Graham split the WRC thread & this one so thanks goes to him

 

[Wild Thing]

did button ever sign up for this?

 

[DC.]

He tested a Honda Civic a few weeks ago:

Button begins Honda rallycross test programme

 

[svensktoppen]

Well, at least now we know where the VW WRC effort ended up

Button and Honda looks interesting! Was sure he was for GT racing and endurance like all the other ex-F1 drivers.

 

[Wild Thing]

Na sure his dad was into rally cross,

 

[DC.]

Not sure if Petter will get the 2017 aero kit for his Polo. Here's a pic of him testing & it looks to be the older spec Polo R WRC.

 

[svensktoppen]

Could be a test mule though.

 

[DC.]

Guy Wilks (yes him) is back full time.

Wilks to enter World RX full-time in 2017 with Volkswagen

 

[svensktoppen]

Shaping up for a good season, just need Button confirmed now

 

[DC.]

Think Button will do some Red Bull GRC events with Honda as opposed to FIA World RallyX.

 

[svensktoppen]

It did sound like that, getting a nice soft intro season I guess

It would be brilliant to see a top class circuit racer up against the likes of Ericsson and Solberg in WRX though!

 

[svensktoppen]

Is this on Freeview at all, even a highlights show? Haven't seen it anywhere so far...

Loved following it last year.

 

[weeloaney]

Nope, can't get it free to view anywhere, I looked after the first 2 races.

Complete and utter balls, didn't miss one race last year, and haven't even heard one thing about it this year

 

[svensktoppen]

Thought as much, haven't seen anything at all. Explains the silence here as well. Was brilliant following it last year, but hey, if they don't want it on air...

 

[GlennM]

Every event is Live on Motorsport TV! Its been a great year so far!

 

[weeloaney]

Every event is Live on Motorsport TV! Its been a great year so far!

What's that on tho? Sky?

 

[GlennM]

Yeah just read on the website that they ceased broadcast on Freeview and YouView... So you only get it on Sky and Virgin!
