More Rally Blogs
[ September 11th, 2008 ] By: Charles Smith Posted in » Ramblings
Since Mark and I started this site we have found more and more rally blogs popping up all over the place. I take it as a very good sign for Rally(and maybe a little as competition). More blogs means more people interested and a much more transparent sport (one of the goals of TwoGuysRally). Transparency is something I think will make the sport more competitive and way more popular. It is hard enough to realize what is going on to a road car as a layman let alone a rally car. I think blogs fill that gap between racer/crewman and spectator while giving a more personal and less marketed glimpse into rally.
With mature blogs like the Marciniaks’ Rallynotes there also exist the younger counterparts such as the newly arrived more personal blog by Alex Kihurani focused on his upcoming stint in Europe. If you dont know who Alex Kihurani is you can either check out his main site, or I could tell you he is the co-driver for Dave Mirra. The blogs range from the daily updated sites that put out information on anything and everything rally (we try) to sparsly updated sites related mainly to its team’s performance. A great example of the sparsely updated, yet still very telling and interesting, is Alba Rallysport’s blog. I just stumbled onto it but it has been around for a long time and its link was staring me in the face over at DirtyImpreza.
Either way with every blog I find, that is just one more thing to make me busier during the day (oh how i rely on Google Reader…) but it also makes me that much more hopeful for Rally’s future. I’m curious, what blogs/sites do you read for Rally related articles?
