Social Media can cause a lot of grief in the sporting world, with rumours, innuendo and straight out 'fake news' often getting in the way of the real story. Like most of our readers, we do a fair bit of surfing the net, looking at Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to get our rally fix. One of our favourite Twitter pages of recent times, however, is a page called Rally Out Of Context, or @nocontext_rally for those of you into Twitter handles. We have no idea who runs the page, and at this early stage it has less than 700 followers, but we're sure that our free plug will have that number soaring soon. The page shows photos from the rally archives which are, literally, out of context, but they make for a great laugh. Whether it's Mikko Hirvonen with a porpoise on his head, Jari-Matti Latvala (he features regularly!!) in bow tie and sailor's hat, or Timo Salonen, Hannu Mikkola and Henri Toivonen partly naked in the sauna, this page has something for everyone. While the photos are uncaptioned and no photographer credits are offered, we've included a few below to whet your appetite. Jump over to @nocontext_rally on Twitter to see the full selection.
