So, according to a German interview I just looked at, Kimi Räikkönen is thinking about maybe going into rally driving after finishing in F1 (which could be as early as after next season).

This would, in my opinion, be BLOODY EXCELLENT.

Kimi! Come over to the rally side! Have a go on the gravel!

Even if he never gets to be top standard on the loose surfaces, even if he only does some Finnish national events and the odd run in PWRC, nobody with that level of racing talent is going to be rubbish. Ahh, I am stupidly excited by this prospect.

You want some excitement? Try Chamionship Off Road Racing*. 900 horsepower pickups racing over dirt roads with ramps built into the course. Its rare that a truck finishes a race with an entire body.

It's redneck rallycross! That's excellent.

There is too much engineering involved to be really redneck. But, yeah, rednecks love it.
