Rightfully so indeed! What's up with that trophy?

Yes he openly says he is their target and that negotiations are ongoing.

Indeed, I'd rather have fewer rallies with more top seats than more rallies with 4-5 top cars. Also, leaving politics aside, Turkey when it was in the WRC previously was different from the other...

I think it's important at this point to choose events that bring some kind of value (other than a payed fee) to the championship. That can mean a interesting or unique event (either by surface or...

what did he say to make you think that? I've only heard him say is that he wants a manufacturer backed team and he wants to know what he's doing early, not like last year.

Maybe, maybe not. He is a good driver to have in a 3 car team, especially MSport as I think he brings some budget. Even if Ogier and Tanak stay Evans is the best option for the full year 3rd car. If...

No, I think they have to eat a donut while driving through the stage. +1s for every 10g of donut left at the end.

Kubica in a Toyota winning a rally, now that'll make him eat dog food again, lol :D

He also had a deal to race in the WEC but backed out, also testing various single seaters, strange things happening with him.

Sure, his driving won the rally but a car without problems also helped make it possible, not to mention the improved diff that suited him more and reduced tyre wear.

IMO when making a rule you need to look at the consequences and effects and compare with the intention.

In this case the actual rule means closer competition in the manufacturer standings and for...

Too bad, I like John but I guess it's better to stop when he feels it's time to do so; also good that he'll be hanging around the team. On the other hand it may be good for Paddon and shake things up...

That situation from the gif and what Latvala is describing are two completely different things. Use your brain please.

My impression from the first two rallies is that the C3 is not fundamentally bad. We can tell almost nothing about it from Monte and in Sweden Meeke was not that much slower compared to others, but...

How many of those were with a VW driver in 2nd as well? also "late" I20 was 1 year only when everyone else was already focusing on the 2017 car.

I disagree, looking at the results you can say simply that Ogier dominated but in two out of four years VW had a 1-2-3 in overall standings and in the others only Neuville spoiled the party. You have...

Yeah exactly, it was a compromise. It could have been good for 2017 if there had not been enough new cars available but I don't see it being a thing in 2018, maybe not even this year. As a concept i...

Everything is built and run by the VW team. No one else can build the cars. They kept preparing till the end of 2016 as if they were going to compete so there exist cars that are race ready or close...

Hi and welcome to the forum. It depends what you mean by "handed". Yes he was 2nd when Neuville crashed but Neuville crashed by his own fault. On of the challenges of rallying is getting to the end;...

I think two things are in effect here lately:
1. Lots of waiting + hype for the new cars + speculation based on testing + personal bias = many people having certain bias or expectations (perfectly...

aside from contract/money issues Mikkelsen would have been a superior choice to: Evans, Breen, Lefebvre, Tanak, Latvala, Sordo (in my opinion) and could be Meeke or Neuville's equal (again in my...

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Also it doesn't look likely for this year, probably just next year. Mikkelsen is one of the drivers that could potentially beat Ogier in the future and he didn't get...
