Lancia’s back! Yes, you read that right, Lancia is back in rallying with the new Ypsilon Rally4 HF, and the RallySport Magazine team reminisce on the Italian brand's history in rallying and what it could mean for the sport moving forward.

From the Stratos to the Delta S4, from Markku Alen to Henri Toivonen, Lancia hold a special place in the heart of rally fans the world over.

Closer to home, we discuss the minor route changes to Gippsland Rally, last weekend’s Coffs Coast Rally that saw Ryan Williams take his first rally win, and suggest possible changes to the ARC’s Junior Cup that could really spice up the competition.

We preview this weekend’s Rally Sardinia where Aussies Taylor Gill and Dan Brkic continue their push for the Junior World Rally Championship, and also pose the question: “Who’s the most disappointing driver in this year’s WRC?” We’d love to hear your thoughts too.

It’s been another busy week in the world of rallying, and we’ve got it all covered in this episode of the Special Stage Rally Podcast.
