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   Be sure to follow/subscribe to Rally DNA on your preferred platform so you can be notified of new episodes and if you gave us a rating and review we would really appreciate it!

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.

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.

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.

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 Be sure to follow/subscribe to Rally DNA on your preferred platform so you can be notified of new episodes and if you gave us a rating and review we would really appreciate it!

One of the classic rounds of the WRC, Rally Italy has had some changes over the years, with Sanremo initially being mixed surface before pure tarmac and then the move to Sardinia in 2004. Both locations have played host to some thrilling contests and this week we look back at 2 of them!

In 2007 Jonas Andersson made the trip to the south west of Ireland to sit alongside Kris Meeke in the Rally of the Lakes, despite having only called English pacenotes once before and never competed with Kris previously they went on to win the event and in some style up against a great roster of talent that weekend. This was intended to be part of a feature on that event which was cancelled in the wake of the passing of Craig Breen, however we decided to put it out there on its own. Enjoy.

After a bit of time off we are back to revisit two classic Portuguese outings in the 90's of the World Rally Championship, in this case 1995 & 1998.
