Rally Poland returns to the WRC calendar for 2024 :) 

 

It will be the 7th time the rally will be a part of WRC schedule (previously 1973, 2009, 2014-2017).

Former WRC driver Kristian Solhberg landed here on Thursday to start coaching and working with 4-time Bulgarian Rally champion Miroslav Angelov. It was speculated, that Angelov was going to announce a WRC2 program for next year.

 

Today, on the second day of testing there was an accident and Miroslav has died :cry::( For some reason, on a high speed straight the car had crashed in a concrete wall and then caught fire. The navigator managed to pull Angelov and then rushed to the hospital, but to no avail..

Rolex 24 at Daytona is underway. I haven't been following it much, but apparently there's been 6(!) wrecks in the first 1 1/2 hours :zip:

 

I've always liked this race. I was a huge motorsports fan growing up, and this race always signaled the new year. Unfortunately, I kind of grew out of motorsports once I got into international sports.

It's wild to see 19 entries in the hypercar class of the WEC after living through the LMP1 era. This new era has me very exicted for Le Mans this year.

Quite a bit of crashes this year, including one that took out three drivers in the very first turn of the race unfortunately. Nice comeback drive from Rinus van Kalmthout going from last, after a penalty due to a pitlane error, to 9th, while Kyle Kirkwood had a similar alternative strategy putting him in the fight for the top spots as well. Some mistakes for rookie Kyle Larson, but overall quite a decent debut, although he did miss the Coca Cola 600 due to the delay.

 

Much needed win for Newgarden as well, after a rough start to the championship.

    • Ben Hebert: "... We have a hockey mentality on our curling team, we’re not going to be bullied and pushed over by a bunch of Swedish guys out there that are getting their a**es handed to them." “We didn’t have any of that, we finished at the top of the podium with the gold and they finished dead last, so I think that says a lot.” Hebert is long known in curling media circles for not being afraid to speak his mind, and he didn’t let up in his ire when it came to the genesis of the entire situation -- Eriksson. “That snake in the grass,” Hebert said. “The stuff he tried to pull at the Olympics is not very Olympia of him… I lost a lot of respect for him with the stuff he tried to pull. He’s won the Olympics, they’ve won Grand Slams, they’ve won World Championships, and when they were at the high of their peak, you never saw that stuff from him. These last two or three years, they’ve been on a brutal stretch and pretty irrelevant in the curling world, haven’t won anything, they’re out of the Grand Slams, dead last in the Olympics puts a stamp on that.."
