What to watch this weekend

#1 WRC Portugal Magazine

In what is the week leading up to what would have been Vodafone Rally de Portugal, WRC TV is providing the latest edition of the WRC Magazine. In this edition, we check in world champion Ott Tänak to ask about life in lockdown; Gus Greensmith relives his World Rally Car debut which came one year ago in Portugal; and Hyundai team principal Andrea Adamo talks of his team’s plans to gradually return to work in their German-based headquarters. Adamo also weighs in with his take on the recent Greatest WRC Driver poll, won by Carlos Sainz.

#2 WRC+ FOCUS: Winning from the sidelines

In this week’s WRC+ Focus, it seemed that the only thing that would be able to stop Sébastien Loeb from winning a third consecutive title in 2006 would be Loeb himself. That is almost exactly what happened, as witnessed in the 2006 Season Review.

#3 WRC History: Down to the Wire

Despite the hundreds of kilometres covered in every WRC rally, and thousands covered over the course of the season, rally victories and season titles have frequently still come down to the finest of margins. “WRC History: Down to the Wire” highlights some of those closest-ever finales, including the famous 1998 title showdown between Tommi Mäkinen and Carlos Sainz.
