I recently read that they're looking into bringing DTM to the US in 2013.

You guys might already know this, but if you go to hulu.com and scroll over channels and then click on Automotive, you can scroll down to find the WRC channel. It has a bunch of current WRC footage. It is very cool.

I am pumped about DTM. I voted for that on facebook!
Now if we could get real WRC in the us and go back to 4wd and Audi/VW are #1 again--- Laughing I was started to remember the past. Man WRC is fun to watch but you really can see that they need more brands and 4WD rally to come back Exclamation Did you guys see the new Amarock as a support rig's for the Dakar rally Very Happy . And the Taureg has been kicking ass and taking names in the Dakar rally for years now. Cool GO VW/Audi

I don't understand your quote. WRC cars are 4wd. Question

I just want more brands to compete in WRC and have some USA WRC westcoast events. Wow it seems like Ken Block is dropping the ball on the driving skills the past 2 races. They all so released some new WRC cars at paris motor show too.

I completely agree about the brands. The WRC was decimated when they lost half of the manufacturers.

I'm not much of a Block fan. IMO he's better at goofy drifting videos to market himself and X-Games than he is at real driving, but that's just me.

Does anybody know what engine, or any spec on this van? I have contacted Seikel directly in the past about the development of their springs through this van but got no feed back.

That's a remote for the camera he's clicking, circa 1987 when they were the size of an iPhone....
