The webcast goes from California to Atlanta to Montreal to Norway finding headliners from the world of sports cars. The list includes an American rally champion from the Isle of Man by way of Wales who was on holiday in California getting ready for X Games!
Segment One
In Segment One we talk with Leh Keen, the Rolex GT points leader with teammate Andrew Davis. Keen and Davis are busy reviving the historic #59 Brumos Porsche brand in American sports car racing. The car and branding was made famous a generation ago by Peter Gregg. We talk about the points and the brand.
Segment Two
In Segment Two we go to Montreal where we talk with Antoine L'Estage, winner of his second straight New England Forest Rally last weekend. The win, though, wasn't enough to hold off the challenge for his 2010 Rally America championship. That was taken by David Higgins who came in second during the rally. Higgins had to overcome a series of problems to get to the end but he got there.
Segment Three
In Segment Three we go to Northern California where we find 2011 Rally America champion David Higgins on holiday with his family celebrating the championship and getting ready for an appearance in the X Games Global Rallycross finale. We talk about his third American championship and the state of American rallying.
Segment Four
Finally, in Segment Four, we talk with Mads Ostberg, winner of last weekend's Rally Estonia, a warm-up for the World Rally Championship Rally Finland in two weeks. Ostberg is sixth in the WRC championship supported by a second in the season opening Rally Sweden. He talks about the roads in Estonia and how they're a true test for Finland.
