Toyota's press release. Not setting too high targets, Lappi and Latvala satisfied with top 5, main objective is to develop the car on tarmac.Last edited by AnttiL; 14th August 2017 at 15:02.

Toyota's outlook seems realistic to me.

weather forecast now showing rain only on friday, at first it showed on thursday too...if it rains on friday then i predict that Neuville and Ogier will just run away from others, not that it would be that much different when it is dry but this season and every rally surprises so my predictions are often wrong.
Curious to see how dmack has developed within a year, they were quite good for their standards last year. i have stopped expecting much from Paddon, it just seems to me he will never get grips with tarmac.Last edited by EstWRC; 14th August 2017 at 15:41.

Forecast is certainly evolving it seems. I really doubt the entire rally will go rain-free.
I've planned out a few potential spots. Flying out Weds morning. Really looking forward to it.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

#WRC2 driver Gus Greensmith is reported to have a minor crash on today's pre-event test. All should be okey for #RallyeDeutschland.

Rain on Friday will be a bit of a letdown. As you say Ogier and Neuville will likely pull away both due to experience/speed but also due to dirt making the road very slippery for late starters and due to C3 issues on low grip surfaces.
Best from a rallyfan perspective would be dry on Friday (so we get some nice comparison and not many retirements) and rain on Saturday afternoon or Sunday to introduce some late-drama once positions are settled.
