I have been kind of bummed that the did away with co-drivers this year. But at least they are going to have Chrissie Beavis and Jen Horsey doing in car commentary.
Good luck to everyone!
I am keeping my fingers crossed that Pat gets in!

yep, no co-drivers = boo suck!! Especially since some of their co-drivers were an integral part of helping their drivers earn their spot in the X-Games in the first place. X Games 'Rally Car Racing' is now more about extreme celebrities playing together in a sandpit than it is about real rallying, though if it encourages even one person to become involved in rallying at the grassroots level, I'm all for it!!

I don't see why if they are putting Jen and Chrissie in the car they can't just let all the other co-drivers commentate as well. I would love to see Worm and Mellisa ect. on tv.
But they can leave out Andi and Arkadiusz Gruszka's co-drivers.... i have a feeling that we would all have a hard time understanding them

i find un fair to the co-drivers. They should be in the car , even when they don't need to in this event. They work just as hard.
Just like in the Race of the champions games. in EU. When is a rally car running there is always a passenger. So for Michael Schumacher who doesn't have one, gets one form the organizers
