Vinkki @YleAstudio, järjestäkääpä kunnon keskustelu tästä aiheesta. Joku Ylen pomo puolustamaan tätä järjestelyä tai sitten pyytämään anteeksi. Palvelun maksava kansa vaatii avoimuutta. iltalehti.fi/paakirjoitus/a/…
Good to see Safari Rally is returning despite some uncertainty about its future this year. Hopefully the new U.S. event is a success. #WRC
What a time for a @OfficialWRC round to return to the UK next year and BBC get the broadcast rights. Third World Rally Championship for a British driver and first in 25 years. Hope that helps to boost #WRC in the UK!
As for Oliver, he did all he could and almost had it. Sadly lost it in a place where there was not a lot to gain anyway. Not sure if he was aware of the split times at that point. #WRC
Great to see Elfyn Evans and Scott Martin finally winning the World Championship. So many narrow losses before, like the bitter on in Monza 2020. Eventually the things went in his favor this time. #WRC
Great to see Ford back with a full-blown factory program. Big positive news for the #WRC!
Cool to see Palou doing so much endurance racing. Petit Le Mans this week and Indy 8h next week!
Huge opportunity for Christian! If he can sort out his oval performance, it’ll be a great teammate battle with Palou. #INDYCAR
Welcome to the team, Christian! Meet the new driver of the No. 9 @PNCBank Honda. 🤝

Would love this on the last week of July or first week of August so that I could make a Spain trip around #INDYCAR and the solar eclipse.
🚨 OJO: La IndyCar más cerca de España, el Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya sigue sonando en el paddock, con David Land comentando que un acuerdo se está acercando a darse, desde ya para 2027 (año sin F1 en BCN):
🎙️ David Land, comunicador especializado en IndyCar, así lo ha dicho en su canal de YouTube, tras unas conversaciones que él tuvo en Indianapolis, este pasado fin de semana durante la IMSA
👉 No es la primera vez que suena Cataluña para la IndyCar, Marshall Pruett ya lo adelantó hace unos meses, y parece que las conversaciones continúan avanzando
👀 De hecho, se reportó que en Laguna Seca, varios miembros del Circuit estuvieron presentes, durante la última carrera de la temporada
💰 Un dato a tener en cuenta: los equipos solo quieren salir fuera de América si otro paga la fiesta, sea un patrocinador o un promotor, todos están a favor de la internacionalización, pero el mayor obstáculo es que alguien pague por el evento, ya que no lo harán, ni ellos, ni Penske Entertainment
⚠️ De todas formas, pedimos cautela, el mismo Land menciona que no cree que se dé para 2027, y es lo más realista viendo como trabaja IndyCar, aunque es ultra positivo que las cosas avancen tanto, ya que, si no es en 2027, podría ser más adelante perfectamente, y que Álex Palou tenga su tan merecida carrera de casa.

Due to the public stance of Russian citizen Ovechkin, the NHL has become—and remains—a massive advertisement for Russia's imperialist war. The current state of the NHL is prolonging the war, resulting in far more people being killed and maimed. How much longer will the United…
Sensible decision but I think it should’ve been made already before Chile. Not sure the outcome of Chile would’ve been any different with a different championship outlook but fans feel robbed of a potentially close run of 2 rallies to close the championship. #WRC
❌ Rally Saudi Arabia has been dropped from the 2026 WRC calendar – and it will not be replaced, making Rally Italia Sardegna the new season finale
It will still run as a round of the FIA Middle East Rally Championship – but Saudi's absence from the WRC means its season will now conclude in two weeks' time 🏁
AJ Foyt Racing signs Dennis Hauger to a multi-year deal, joining the No. 14 program in 2027. At just 23, Hauger already has a championship résumé: 2026 INDYCAR Rookie of the Year, 2025 INDY NXT champion, 2021 FIA F3 champion, 2019 Italian F4 champion, and 5 wins in Formula 2.
"Dennis wants to win, and we want to win. That's where everything starts." - Larry Foyt
Welcome to the team Dennis!
Too early to know next summer's vacation dates yet but would really like to see next year's total solar eclipse in Spain. Hotels really expensive in Andalusia that day but at least I made a reservation with free cancellation in Madrid for a day trip to the south for the eclipse.
