5 Sites I Find Informative (Rally Wise)
[ August 12th, 2008 ] By: Charles Smith Posted in » Ramblings
I spend so much time not talking about sites that I really enjoy and frequent related to the world of Rally. I figured taking one post to go over some sites would be worth it for all of us.
- DirtyImpreza - Its main feature is its forum. There is a surprising amount of intelligence that comes out during posts over there, and because of that I participate in the conversations. While it may sound like it is only for Subaru Impreza drivers, it really is for anyone who likes playing in the dirt with their cars (rallycross especially). Aaron, the owner/admin of DirtyImpreza, is one of the nicest guys I’ve eMet.
- RallyNotes - What I consider the first blog related to Rally Racing. It is run by a husband-wife pair, Kris and Chrstine Marciniak respectively, that mostly just enjoy telling the world about their time rallying. They go over quite a bit of info and they’re partly responsible in getting Mark and I to choose a blog format.
- Rally411 - A site run by two brothers in their spare time. I use it to figure out the not so common news going on in the rally world (their front page), especially American Rally.
- WRC(dot)COM - The official site of the World Rally Championship. They have really awesome videos that are updated often. The only problem with them is they tend to crash my firefox and I don’t understand why. I find the videos to be worth that hassle though.
- SpecialStage - Last but not least is SpecialStage. They’re a great outlet for American Rally news and they aggregate rally team’s ‘press releases’. Lots of rally related stuff on there and even some forums (but I mostly stay front paged).
Yep, those are some sites I have found to be really useful/informative. The only site I have an account with is DirtyImpreza because it was worth it as I have an Impreza and I like to play in the loose stuff (I tend to hate registering for things, that is one of the reasons you do not have to register to comment on this site). Either way, check those sites, I do.
