Rally Italia Sardegna '16

[PLuto]

New addition to notional times on SS 12 - today before midday, they have changed also time of Kruuda... Question is which times they will change tomorrow...

A bit sad to see Prokop go, he seemed to enjoy himself all the time. After Portugal you could tell by his words that maybe he is a bit angry that the FIA wont allow all drivers to compete in a 2017 gen WRC, so maybe that's why he is leaving.

I dont think to that it is the main reason. He found that he has no chance to move up. He is little bit tired with WRC, he needs to have a new toy, to do something different. Thats why he is trying circuits or Dakar...

Would you say that if it was Tidemand?

When did only last day count? So answer is - never.

I don't like super dusty rallies but that made for some nice dramatic shots!

In rallysport, it was in the past ALWAYS, that fastest drivers were going first (so they had disadvantage with sweeping positions). Only in modern WRC era they have started with reversing the order...

Agree 100%.....some members have short memory.....

Champion must be mentally strong as well. And Ogier has done it quite well. We must admit that this rule is for everybody. Everybody who leads might have this disadvantage or advantage in tramac rallies. Everbody know that if they lead they must sweep roads. Rules are same for everybody and if you cannot handle it you need to visit psyhologist Complaining is just a part of the game

And it seems that we have quite equal championship right now. Even without sweeping, we still had very similar times and if we compare Italy 2015 and 2016, podium was nearly in 5 minutes year ago! That means, Tänak would have been fighting with his melting tyres for podium position and would have finished fourth Nad top 10 finish was possible with over 20 minutes timeloss!

So what´s his heritage. The guy must be a genius. Seems not possible if that´s true.

Or it seems possible that the cars are so good and do virtually everything you need that almost anybody with minimal motivation --or better said, a little more motivation than the average young guy hanging around a shopping center can make surprising results..
