I call myself Latvala's biggest fan, and to say I'm surprised is an understatement. Honestly, though I must admit his last two years in WRC were very underwhelming, i was still looking forward to a...

I think he'll do well in Argentina and might even be a candidate for the win. He pretty much dominated in 2018 until he had his massive accident on El Condor

Evans has to win in 2020 to truly prove his worth. His only win has come at the mercy of his Dmacks and of his other two nearlies one of them was also on those tyres. I believe he's got the speed and...

Hopes like Ostberg, Mikkelsen, Paddon? Full retirement imminent unless he drives Sweden, Finland, Wales and blitzes the opposition.

I always count on you to be as big a fan of Latvala as me :D

I'm glad I'm not the only insane person that thinks this :) Latvala was clearly in the championship battle going into Poland. If the car hadn't broken down he'd have scored points for third (or...

But VW made a car for the regulations they were going to enter with and took a year off with a future world champion to develop their car.

Toyota had to make a 2017 spec car after developing the...

Can the car be developed without jokers?

He's definitely struggling mentally, but dare I say he's managing his demons? He's controlling this rally quite well, which I'm quite surprised to see since he's uncomfortable with he car.

Let's be honest though, as hard as it is for me to admit he wasn't the highest placed on pace alone. Outrun by Tanak in Sweden and Mexico, even though the Estonian made mistakes, and ahead of Lappi...

His results this year haven't been too representative of his actual pace. He's made mistakes or suffered punctures but his speed is definitely there now.

Of course not. I said earlier in the Corsican thread that he was finally driving like he needed to: pushing for speed, not just settling for points. I'm saying that he played that strategy in the...

Ott and Lappi both looking like future champions. Latvala's "to finish first, first you have to finish" attitude isn't paying off.

The struggles were down to ventilation issues and stretched over to Portugal I believe (on a much lesser scale). I suppose they'll do well this time around judging by their speed, the new bumper, and...

I was wondering today, does anybody know why TMG handed over the Yaris program to Tommi Makinen?

You must know a different Latvala than I do. When did he moan or make bold claims at VW? The only time I genuinely remember he moaned was when he got stuck in Ostberg's dust. Otherwise all he's ever...

I was saying that I'd be super disappointed if Latvala cracks like at VW again.

Don't think you understood what I said, nor the joke behind it. Potato dog...

If this breaks Latvala again I'm going to stop watching the WRC out of depression.

Form over function like Watson (I think) said. The beauty is in how it fulfills it's purpose looking like that.

Latvala is the only person who worries me when he tries to follow a plan. It's not the same now but he's again comparing himself and trying to match Ogier. I don't know how he'll fare if he can't...

I haven't been keeping up with the forum much because Tapatalk won't send me notifications anymore, but to answer this while he does find excuses often I'd say he explains why he underperforms rather...

I'd guess Latvala 7 Tanak 8 and Lappi 9, though the numbers don't really mean much. I think Hyundai let their drivers choose their own this year.

Also, I expect to see you around this thread much...

He matured immensely this year. During Catalunya I calculated Latvala's points total he'd have by now since Poland if he'd finished every rally , factoring in modest and realistic results (3, 1, 6, 6...

Ogier going to Toyota would be a mess. Tommi knows that he has the two drivers who are capable of beating Ogier in the championship, and if he were to sign him one of them at least would completely...

Nobody really knows about that one. Zero coverage.
