The first round of the NZRC kicked off with a bang, and I need a bit off kicking to get me to update this more regularly. For this one I just mooched down to the sunny Hawkes Bay on my own accord (well, with the boyfriend) - asin no real particular assignment to stories or photos. It's good to just...

I'm in the process of playing around with the Blogger format to see if I can get the most out of it. You, the reader, want short page loads and the freshest juiciest news and posts - so I'm cutting the amount of posts accessible from the main page down to a minimum. I shall also push myself to do a...

Must admit I've been rather slack over this sunny period - mainly because of the lack of formal motor-sport. So slack, even, that I had to re-sign into Blogger (:-o shock horror) because SOMEONE deleted my browsing history. Though luckily I have been heftily upping my web appearances elsewhere - Twi...

As I approach my 20th birthday (April 25th - I'm going skydiving!) and as we look down the calendar of another year, I'm feeling a little nostalgic. So, here is the story of how I came to be a rally nut/writer. My father, Neill Byles was into rallying in the 80's: he got some good results in his cla...

There's no denying that rallying at the top level is an expensive sport and a huge commitment for manufacturers. And the current economic situation has crunched down hard, forcing car companies to look at where they can tighten their spending. F1 was hit hard earlier this month when Honda pulled out...

If there was a time to be blogging about the WRC, then that time would most certainly be now. But I'm feeling a lot more at ease actually, after the utter panic that spread across the internet-rally-sphere since Subaru announced their withdrawal from the WRC at 10.30(ish)PM NZ time Tuesday. Some key...

I can't do it. So I'm cutting her loose. I attended the second round of the NZV8's and supporting classes in the weekend, just for the Sunday. And though I did learn how to track cars during the races, I still can't really find the 'thrill' in track racing. Maybe it's the lack of the chase. This was...

Ah the silly season. Is it bad that I'm absolutely relishing it this year?
