Season 3, Ep.12: Kristian Sohlberg

Finn Kristian Sohlberg joins us this week to take us through his current role as driver coach to those who want to sharpen their skills on the stages and also gives us an unfiltered account of how he feels his career took a wrong turn upon joining the works Mitsubishi team right at the end of Andrew Cowan's tenure where he was equipped with the ill fated, under developed and ultimately unreliable Lancer WRC '04

Season 3, Ep.11: Rallylegend Preview

It's October so that means it is almost time for one of the rallying highlights of the year - Rallylegend. Now in it's 21st running, this superb historic rally festival is something we can't to attend in a few days time. Given all we have been doing of late is talking about it, we thought it fitting to do somewhat of a preview of the event. Joining us to build up some hype are some very special guests: WRC Commentator Mike Chen, World RX and rally driver Ole Christian Veiby as well as rally nut, photographer and contributor to Speedhunters - Cian Donnellan.
Enjoy!

Season 3, Ep.10: Rally Games

A long and hotly awaited new rallying video game is just around the corner in the form of EA SPORTS WRC, so we decided it was apt that we look back over some previous games to feature our great sport. Joining us is the talented Thomas Harrison-Lord of Traxion.GG to offer his valuable insight and knowledge on the subject.

Season 3, Ep.9: Acropolis Retrospective

Another staple of the world championship and a very challenging one at that is the focus of this episode of Rally DNA, Acropolis is a stone cold (or a hot stony) classic with the potential for rally ending incidents on every stage be it the car succumbing to the high temperatures or falling foul of a poorly positioned boulder. This episode sees Killian and Jamie revisit the 1993 and 2003 runnings of the event and expect the usual poorly judged references, poorly pronounced place names and even managing to attack poor Didier Auriol's hair. Enjoy!

Season 3, Ep.8: Safari Rally Retrospective

The king of the classic endurance events - the Kenyan Safari - is a special round of the world championship with a place in the heart of every rally aficionado who spends too much time on YouTube watching snorkel fitted Celicas plunging through rutted mud. Though the days of the stage distance surpassing 1000km or more are behind us, this week we revisit those days with 2 events from the 90's: 1996 and 1999

Season 3, Ep.7: Jonas Andersson

One of the most experienced co-drivers currently competing in the World Rally Championship, Sweden's Jonas Andersson has one of the most impressive rallying CV's you are likely to find: from winning two JWRC titles to winning Rally Portugal with Mads Ostberg and now in the fight for the WRC2 honours with Gus Greensmith. Jonas took time from his schedule to speak with us (from an airport waiting lounge no less) about his career
