Kimi was one second off per kiliometer of the top runners at the WRC rally in Finland. Pretty incredible considering it is his first rally also in the Fiat Punto which is not nearly as good as Loeb’s Pug/Cit.

I sure wish Kimi was in a Brawn (or Newey) car because Ferrari slipped when Brawn left - same thing after he left Bennton.

Brown to receive Cameron Argetsinger award

Zak Brown, Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Racing, will receive the 10th annual International Motor Racing Research Center Cameron R. Argetsinger Award at a gala on Sept. 12 at the Corning Museum of Glass. The IMRRC said the award is in recognition of Brown's contributions advancing and improving the sport of motor racing. Established in 2014, the CRA Award -- named in honor of the man who, in 1948, conceived, organized and drove in the first post-war road race in America through Watkins Glen -- had been presented at gala events at the CMOG through 2019, honoring such legends of the sport as Chip Ganassi, Roger Penske, Mario Andretti, Richard Petty, the France Family and Bobby Rahal. When the pandemic hit, the event moved first to Watkins Glen International, then to the Harbor Hotel in Watkins Glen, recognizing Lyn St. James, Mike Helton and Richard Childress through 2023. The gala is open to the public. All proceeds benefit the IMRRC, a 501(c)(3) organization.

Hard-to-get parts brought an end to the Viper’s racing career. Its replacement is a little unexpected, but the TCR-tuned Beetle is plenty rowdy.
