the vehicles are very high tech. some of the bikes are two wheel drive(thats bikes not quads).the VW is built so that the drive shafts are the same on opposite corners and the front and rear prop shafts are the same.there is an article about it in this weeks Autosport. Eurosport have a 1/2 hr show at 2130 most nights.

Just heard that mcrae has crashed out of the rally, he was doing so well.
Typical mcrae, it is all or nothing with him he always drives at 100%
It was a bad crash but they are both OK.

He only has two speeds.

1. Flat out.
2. Crashed.



I do like his commitment though!
