    If you ignore the Historic. It was the same issue on the Likenäs stage on Sunday, and the same complaints from Ogier in 2016. Both these examples had no Historic cars at all. It is the same that happens with JWRC, 2WD and the slower 4WD cars as well.

    You'd need the top guys only. Let's say the fastest 5-6 drivers, after that it's a bunch of drivers with less speed, and other lines, which would lead to the exact same complaining.

    Looks like another thing to report to FIA. Man, Tanak is on fire this year...

    As first WRC driver on the road, Ogier found the situation particularly problematic and was a distant 12th by the end of Friday.

    “The ruts are 20cm narrower than my car,” said Ogier.

    “Even in a straight line I have to fight like hell to stay on the road."
    why you do this to yourself ?

    Nice try Michelin, but Pirelli still kicked your ass in WRC2.

    He must have needed some iron in his diet.

    Michelin are good only on dry tarmac. Frenchies just don't go out for testing in bad conditions.

    Perhaps the jwrc and historic drivers should start to complain that their cars don't fit in the ruts that the wrc cars make.
