Hoax. Because pictured, we have Petter Solberg.
Link to google reverse image search: here.
Besides, pacenotes give such a big advantage over driving a rally stage "blind" that the whole idea of being competitive without pacenotes is just absurd.

Not a hoax at all.
"the whole idea of being competitive without pacenotes is just absurd"
You might like to ponder that absurdity a little longer. (Easy ponder, tightens, caution! into u-turn.)

Gah. It's not a fake, or a hoax. It's a joke .

It's a joke article from a satire site.

Ok, so why is Petter Solberg pictured (who isn't just anybody, having won the world rally championship in 2003) instead of this Mark Fisher?
Britain has, over the years, produced a lot of excellent rally drivers, but a "Mark Fisher" isn't among them. So much for the claimed "top British rally driver"

Because it's a joke. You weren't supposed to think it was real, so it's not a hoax.

... ok I yield.
A hoax is still an attempt to fool people, and a joke as such. On Oppo, no one is likely to fall for it, but outside of Jalopnik, a lot of people think its real.

Hoaxes are (when humorous) members of the set 'jokes', not the other way around - like squares are a sub-category of rectangles.
I'm astonished that anyone could have read the last paragraph and thought it was real.
