I haven't watched a single race this year... Just not feeling it since last year.
I know I need to just get started and then I'll get into it.
Dunno why I feel this way. Just zero drive to watch wrc.

Is this MavTV a youtube stream or on some cable channel?
EDIT:
EDIT:
Unfortunately Comcast currently is not offering MAVTV American Real in your area. Please feel free to contact them via the information below (if available) and DEMAND MAVTV!

MavTV is a TV channel. It's channel 214 on DirecTV. You can find the channel on other providers on their website:
Find MAVTV
That being said, they're only showing a stage or two plus the power stage live. I end up recording these to watch after I've watched the complete footage from the torrents. They're more of a supplement to the full coverage. PM me if you need torrent info.

Rally Poland this weekend! NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!!
Should be a good one as Poland hasn't been on the calendar since 2009, not to mention 80% of the roads are new and/or reconfigured. A level playing field it should be!
If you want a fun betting game to play whilst watching it (if you're watching with friends and haven't seen any spoilers already) is to bet on who will finish in the highest position aside from Ogier

There's also this:
Finally, You Can Watch the WRC Live Anywhere! (Legally!)
I'm really excited that they're doing this but I just don't have the time to spend two to four days following live rally footage. It's very hard for me to admit that I prefer the hour long daily recaps as it's easier to digest on the Sunday/Monday/Tuesday (or even a week later for rally Finland ) following the event. With two kids and all that goes along with the family life, weekends are precious time and I just can't justify being in front of a computer for most of it. Hopefully this leads to better footage for the daily recaps (more heli footage please!).

WRC 2015
Bump for Monte Carlo!
Should be an interesting year with the various changes in format/rules. No more split times should make for a much more entertaining season. Plus, Ogier will be whining a bunch about having to start the first two days in first position!

The S2000 was a classification that eventually became the WRC cars (in 2012). The WRC cars are now turbocharged 1.6L engines with a 33mm restrictor plate. The current crop of S2000 cars (WRC2) can run either a 1.6L turbocharged engine (with a smaller restrictor plate) or a 2.0L NA engine (also with a restrictor plate).
More info on the regulations/specifications:

Well...2016 was one hell of a year. Even though the running order "controversy" has been addressed for next year it sure made for a hell of an interesting season. More different winners this year than any I can remember.
2017 is going to be awesome though. More power, more aero, wider cars, etc. VW is out now so it'll be interesting to see where those drivers end up. I sure would love to see Ogier in a Ford. I think we'll know where he's going to land in the next week or so.
But the best news?!?! I'm taking the fam to Rally Mexico in March!!! We've got a few others joining us so we should have 8 in our group. I can't wait! Haven't been to a WRC round since Finland in 2009 and this'll be the kids first into to the WRC.
Here's to an amazing 2017 WRC season!

Holy SH T!!!
Sebastien Ogier signs with M-Sport WRC team for 2017 - WRC - Autosport
Ford is definitely the front runner for the title this year now. Should be a crazy year. Can't wait for the Monte!!!
