Ashes to Haribo stashes, a journey home from round four 2010
How many Haribo does it take to make a bus ride from Asia to England? Tune in and find out. Except you won’t, the boys lost count of how many bags they ate returning from Istanbul and the 2010 Rally Turkey.Remember Icelandic-the-unpronounceable, that volcano that caused total travel chaos? Colin Clark and David Evans will never forget three nights and four days travelling through Turkey, Romania, Austria, Slovakia (it might have been Serbia, they’re not sure...), possibly Czech Republic, almost certainly Hungary, a bit of Germany, a touch of France and, oddly, even a bit of Belgium. A decade on and George Donaldson is still enjoying the fact he didn’t go to the event and watched the Eyjafjallajokull madness unfold from the comfort of a packet of his favourite crisps (that might be chips, depending which side of the Pond you’re reading this).Lisa O’Sullivan presides brilliantly over painful - and occasionally amusing - memories of the non-party bus home from round four of the 2010 World Rally Championship. (There’s even the odd sneaky story from the party bus). See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Episode 10 - Argentina: it’s not all meat and drink
You might have gathered, the DirtFish team would rather be elsewhere this week. We’d rather be in Villa Carlos Paz reporting on round four of this year’s World Rally Championship, the SpeedAgro Rally Argentina.Just because we’re not, doesn’t mean we can’t talk about it. So we did. In this edition of Spin, The Rally Pod, Lisa O’Sullivan focuses the attention of George Donaldson, David Evans and Colin Clark on Argentina and a whole host of South American stories.George tells the world how and why he made Nicky Grist cry, Colin reveals the moment he revealed his naked chest to the post-rally party and David talks about retractable pencils.Looking for advice ahead of her Argentina debut, Lisa is given some clear, concise and consistent dietary guidance. In preparation for the parrilla... vegetables.But before all of that, there’s news of ducks.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Bonus Spin - Andrea Adamo
Italian Andrea Adamo was recruited to the very top of Hyundai Motorsport at the start of 2019. In turn, in his first season in charge, he delivered the Korean manufacturer to the very top of the World Rally Championship.His method and approach reflect the glorious Lancia-defined era in which he grew up. In a little over 12 months, he’s polarised opinion in the service park. Not that he cares. His mission statement talks of winning rallies, rather than popularity contests. But his charisma is captivating. Here he talks at length to DirtFish’s David Evans about – among other things – one-word answers, the bible and Brabham's BT52.

Episode 8 - Now, that’s what Derek calls the 90s Part 1
For thousands of rally fans out there Mitsubishi Ralliart was the 1990s in the World Rally Championship. And Derek Dauncey was the man in the middle of that Rugby-based Mitsubishi outfit.In what’s going to be the first of many interviews (hence this is Part 1 of Now that’s what Derek calls the 1990s…), Dauncey talks DirtFish through two pivotal events for Andrew Cowan’s Lancer squad. We’re in 1996 for both, the first is the Safari Rally - an outstanding tale of Ralliart’s first attempt at the Kenyan marathon - and the second is one of the Asia Pacific Rally Championship’s most arduous journeys from Hong Kong to Beijing.Brace yourself for test cars splitting in two and rats in your bedroom in Wuhan.

In this edition of Spin - the Rally Pod David, George, Colin and Lisa lose track of time once again reliving the career of 6x World champion Sebastien Ogier.

Episode 6 - The Rise of Sebastien Ogier
The Rally Pod team are rewinding the clock in the latest episode of Spin to review the career (so far) of Six-time World Champion Sebastien Ogier. The plan was to cover the lot in one episode - but with so many tales to tell the team only managed to get as far as 2011. Oh and Colin’s worried his hair may never regrow after rashly allowing his children to “cut” it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Episode 5 - Potatoes and Planes
In the most entertaining Spinning The Line The Rally Pod yet, the team set about more of the service park’s most incredible stories.But in addition to what went on when George Donaldson was flying high over the route for Rally Argentina, you’ll also get the lowdown on world rallying’s finest potato - and mushroom - producers. On the subject of potatoes, we also investigate the WRC’s crisp (chip if you’re listening Stateside) of choice. Predictably, controversy’s not far away...Add in some Lancia team manager Ninni Russo, words about the WRC’s much-missed journalistic guru David Williams (and his shoes) and the opportunity to name Colin Clark’s haggis-based (and, according to GD overcooked) recipe and you’ve got the fifth edition of The Rally Pod.
