The Deep Sadness Of Volkswagen's Last Rally Winner
The Deep Sadness Of Volkswagen's Last Rally Winner-February 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:25

There’s nothing worse than watching a race you should be racing in, but aren’t. Behold, the infinite sadness that has befallen the of Volkswagen’s very last race in the World Rally Championship, Andreas Mikkelsen.

He’s there! He wants to check out the cars! Won’t someone let him drive a car?

Mikkelsen was with a team who wanted to run Volkswagen’s developed, but un-raced 2017 rally car, but those plans never came to fruition. The two other Volkswagen drivers, Jari-Matti Latvala and Sébastien Ogier, both found drives for this year, leaving Mikkelsen all alone.

Perhaps Mikkelsen should’ve set this to . Someone, anyone: adopt a sad, lonely rally driver today.

This Is The Best Place You Can Possibly Stick A Reminder In A Race Car
Everyone knows that the only gauge that really matters in a race car is the tachometer, so why not remind yourself not to be an idiot right on the gauge? Let's be honest, the temptation for full-on stupidity is real in the heat of a race. This reminder is far...
