    Nice pics and movie's, thanks.

    For me this stays one of the best events to visit in the wrc, amazing scenery, great island, lots of overview points,..
    We did 3 stage's on Friday, 3 Saturday, and 2 on Sunday (we were able to go to a beach each day in between the stage's) so 4 stage's a day is possible.
    Just a shame they did not have a big screen at the podium like some years ago, showing the sss on thursday.

    Went to the finish on the last saturday stage, what a view, able to see i think 40% of the stage from that point, very cool.
    Also the power stage is great, first loop, than having a swim in the mediteranian while r3 cars are still passing, snorkling in between. Than back to power stage and the finish, seems a bit like rally heaven to me.

    What i also noticed on this edition, the stewards where much more in controll, firm but correct i think!
    Ans drivers are still great, easy to speak to, take a selfie whit, dont think there are many other sports where you can speak to a 4 time world champion in between race's.

    I shure hope Sardenga is in the calender for 2018, ill be back than. (i dont get why some people always want to replace this event whit San remo, or just bin it).

    Keep those pics coming..

    My view (as a Belgian) on Neuville beeing not friendly.
    Just imagine yourself in that position, knowing this year might be your best chanse ever to be a WDC.
    Your doing great on an event you still very wel can win and your main oponent is back in the order. But than, on the one stage you where planning to make your move the brake's dont work!
    I'd be pissed of to, lost chanse. To me it's part of a sportsman's job, i actually like such reaction somethimes.

    Just look at Latvalla, wouldn't hurt anybody, but also very angry after a setback.

    Shame for Meeke, i also like the guy, these accidents must be hard to cope whit.

    These drivers are just under a lot of pressure, stil performing like they do is just crazy. To me they are artists in a car.

    Did anyone see a dead snake on the road to Oschiri, i think i accidentely killed one whil crossing the road..

    Clever car placement and making decisions like these in the tecce is vital to be quick and save on fast passages. Tanak is very good at this hence fast rallies are one of his big strengths. But he obviously can be quick in more technical events too, as seen in Sardinia.

    Brakes don't spontaneously stop working however, I would say it's 99.99% of the time something the driver has done/not done that has caused them to fail. And therefore I feel Neuville's reaction is juvenile, a driver of more maturity would react with frustration but also be an adult about the situation.

    Why such a crazy amount of grain on some of the pics? Underexposed?
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.
