As Rally México returns to the World Rally Championship for the first time since 2020 this week, the SPIN, The Rally Pod team can’t wait.

Host Lisa O’Sullivan chairs the discussion with David Evans, Luke Barry – fresh from sampling the DirtFish Rally School – and Nate Tennis on site at DirtFish HQ.
