Didn't read the whole thread but I didn't see anybody say that Paddon could challenge Ogier - I think there's excitement whenever someone new leads. He's performing above expectations of 7th-8th, which means it looks like he's still got room for improvement, unlike, say, almost every driver on the top level.

Paddon is still learning. Too early for any challenge. Only time will tell...

The onboard's on WRC+ won't work on my phone. Is anyone else experiencing problems?

To Kirungi Okwogera, the suggestion of banning the Autos de Junes was a joke I STRONGLY support Your point regarding that these kind of talent competitions should be present in more countries!
Loeb and Ogier and the total French domination for the last 10 years has proved that talent wins over money (off course it has to be talent in combination with money, opportunity, and dedication.)
The "problem" for Ogiers competitors is that Rally is off course highly professional from the technical side - but an amateur sport regarding the athletes.
I do not mean that the atlethes them selves are at fault, only that there has been an extreme focus on the technical side, and almost no focus on the athletes, except having them physically fit.
Lets say You where an investor, and that You just bought a Premier League Soccer team.
And lets say You immediately started practicing the same strategy as is common in the WRC.
And lets say You had 100 million pounds to spend in one season.
This is what You would do:
- You would use 99.5 millions developing the shoes, the shirts and the shorts.
- You would only arrange 10-14 practice sessions a year.
- Those practice sessions would be 80-90% about the performance of the shoes, the shirts and the shorts.
- The athletes input would only be about how the shoes, the shirts and the shorts could be changed to work better for the individual soccer player.
- The trainers would be engineers.
- The trainers would only be present during the practice and the games.
- You would play 12-14 matches a year.
- The only thing You would demand of Your soccer players is that the should use some of their free time staying in shape.
- You would take Your team around the world on marketing events, taking up almost as much time as the soccer playing.
So, now You have soccer players with specially made shoes, shirts and shorts worth 400.000 pounds EACH, that practice 10-12 times a Year, and plays 10-14 matches, have engineers for trainers, do A LOT of PR work, and keep fit.
How well do You think they would perform in the Premier League?https://www.facebook.com/noseendfirst?ref=hl#
