Rally drivers have always proved themselves to be the more rounded drivers.

Schumacher is going to get scalped!

Be interesting to see how he fares though.

Don't discount Sarrazin or Gronholm either.

Expect Coulthard to be wholly un-impressive, then blame the car and state that he will win the 2006 ROC.

Jeff Gordon has put in a strong showing in past ROC events too I think.

I see C Mcrae is in this year

Given his race experience in the xsaraWRC and the fezza, I think he is in with a shout.

Argh.

Any other US based expats? What channel is this on? As far as I can tell it's only on HDNet which I can't get. It's not on Speed Channel Anyone know of any regular non high def channels that are carrying it?

Argh.

Gareth,

Sorry mate, but it's only live on HDNet only and highlights on Speed on Dec 12!!

Check out the TV page on
http://www.imp.mc/rocwebsite/index.htm


Still that'll make up for Speed covering all the F1 Qualis and Practice whereas we only get ITV's pathetic attempts at 'taking F1 coverage to new heights'

Cheers,

tiggers.

Thanks

Highlights on the 12th it is then. Better than nothing.

You forgot that Speed run F1 Decade, so we had the 1994 season's races shown before this years races, along with Steve I-used-to-work-for-Benetton-aren't-Renault-doing-well Matchett's pithy behind the scenes commentary

Thanks for the info.

Real Scalextric!

Edit to say: Looking at that track, Schumacher will probably win, anyone see him in those kart races they used to have on TV?

Yes. Couldn't believe how good he was/is. I know one shouldn't compare eras but imho Schumacher is the best ever. Two more seasons as this year and I will think the same of Rossi. Previously it was Hailwood for me.

Quote McRae
McRae said he was just happy to get behind the wheel of a world rally car after being out of the championship since the end of 2003.

"It was just nice to have a shot in a rally car again. I really enjoyed it," said McRae.

The Scot said he hoped he would get through to a final against Schumacher.

"I would love to have a go at it. It would be nice to line up next to him in the final."
