It's not about Rally Sweden, but today Ken Block has reveald his 2012 programme. He will contest at three WRC events: Rally Mexico, Rally New-Zealand & Rally Finland.

 

[Harry Platt]

Mexico and NZ (Whoop) are obvious choices for Ken being the closest to home. I remember him being interviewed last year and saying that the X-Games and Rally Finland won't clash so he can do both.

Ken Block is not very good at stage rallies.. I guess when your at that age and you have limited time you might as well have fun and enjoy yourself. We need a young American to regularly contest rallies and I hope these rally schools that are popping up and can help cultivate that. It is just really hard to secure sponsorship for something overseas

But at least he's not cocky or anything. I like the guy, he knows he's not exactly the fastest driver out there but he takes it all in as a learning experience. I mean, if I had his personal fortune I'd be doing the same thing! Not to mention he's pretty much the sole promoter of Rallying here in the States. It would be nice to see him do Rally America events to get the sport growing in America.

I hope Loeb will be 10 times champion. Really, I do

Even though it would make the season pretty boring,it would be cool to witness an entire decade of 1 man dominating the WRC.

Hopefully there's an interesting fight for the champion, at least.

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

Lets see what the rest events will offer. So far, both races, Monte car and Sweden, were everything but boring. And Loeb leads

 

[Thomas Dougherty]

Last year we had it on HD Theater/Velocity channel (3 weeks after the event) but this year I can't find anything on it.

Is there any coverage at all for it in the US? Any live steams?

 

[Joakim Skalstad]

i hope Petter win at least one rally, but i fear Loeb will be the champion in the end

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

Yea, watching Peter climbing the podium would be amazing! As well as Sordo. I hope Mini can take their first win this season

[Manuel De Samaniego]

I'll be participating in this year's Rally as a volunteer

 

[Fredrik Arbegard]

Where does the rally go?
I am currently residing in Monterrey, could be nice to watch some

 

[Manuel De Samaniego]

Hi Fredrik, the rally is in León, Guanajuato and it's sorroundings (Ibarrilla, Salamanca, Silao, Guanajuato) it goes trough the gravel roads in the whole "Sierra de lobos"

I used to live in Monterrey but my family is from León so i traveled to León very often, it was a 7 hour drive from Monterrey to León, but now i think it's faster because there are new roads. If you're interested in seeing a rally you can come here or you can also go to the Baja 1000 wich is close where you are i think, but i don't know when it is run.

Hope to see you here

good luck

 

[RobiAavik]

What do you guys think, who's gonna win?
My guess is:
1. Sebastien Loeb
2. Jari-Matti Latvala
3. Petter Solberg
4. Mikko Hirvonen
5. Evgeny Novikov

 

[Manuel De Samaniego]

I think this will be the result:
1. Sebastien Loeb
2. Petter Solberg
3. Mikko Hirvonen
4. Jari-Matti Latvala
5. Ricardo Triviño

haha i hope so

 

[Juen-Jen Wang]

My guess:
1. Ken Block
2. Sebastian Loeb
3. Mikko Hirvonen
4. Jari-Matti Latvala
5. Dani Sordo

LOL I'm a troll

(Srsly tho I do hope that Block does good for once. Would be nice to see some results to back up his hype)
