    If they are worried about flight connections, then maybe hold a rally on the grounds of Frankfurt airport e.g.

    Mäkinen is starting to sound worse than Capito
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

    I think it just sounds like an excuse to create a space for new rallies on the calendar. And Mäkinen has a motive to push for Rally Japan.

    I think the low number of spectators on saturday midday service is because the stages are to far away.

    I for one hope the rally will stay in Sardinia, its a nice event! about flight connections, i think there are options enough.

    A move back in the calander would be nice! the October date was best in my opinion.

    If you listened to Miki Biasion's old co driver Tiziano Siviero on All Live who is the stage commander or something like that, they really care about making the rally a proper one and want the fans to be able to see as much as possible which can not be said for some rallies on the calendar.
    When did we see a crowd like that at the end of powerstage? That's what counts not some people hanging around at the service park when they should be out spectating, nothing interesing to see apart for the end of day interviews in my opinion. Sardinia was great when i went in 2011 and It looks really good in Alghero now. You could even get direct flights to Olbia on a Saturday and Wednesday from Norway, regret like a pig i didn't go!

    Colin Clark "praying" for Wilson to "rescue" Meeke:

    It would be nice, even as a 3rd driver for 2019 if Ogier stays (Ogier-Evans-Meeke) it would be interesting for multiple reasons. I somehow doubt it though. Not like he came to "rescue" McRae after he got kicked from Citroen in 2004.

    I must say, when I am going to spectate the rally, I am usually not interested in visiting service, especially during the rally. Maybe before rally or after, but not during.

    If the wrc rules about the privateers loose,which is a big possibility, i dont think meeke has a place to msport.

    Re Paddon
    I asked this on his FB

    How does Thierry's driving style differ from yours, is your driving style closer to Andrea's and do you collaborate on setups?, Also have you solved the setup issues with i20 or is it inherently designed for a different driving style? Big Congrats on a solid drive!

    His answer
    Thierry is driving somewhat straighter/smoother although equally committed. He is being efficient with the car. While my way to drive is prob closer to Andreas than Thierry, I also know it is effective if all the stars align. I have been struggling with the front diff setup for 18 months with this car now but myself and the team know the answers, but how we implement this is yet to be seen. In the meantime we have a small compromise with what is available and trying to do the best job possible with that.

    IMO if you have a compromised setup you are going to leak time no matter how committed you are. I feel he still has the speed he is just not willing to throw it away in the hunt for wins like some such as Meeke.
