Most of the time the ditch is a bitch, but in Teemu's case the luck of one rolled the car. Pity.

What I don't get about M-sport is the balance of how they spend their funds. Can't understand why they make so, so much profit, looking at their accounts, yet they won't shell out and spend a few quid on someone else to drive alongside Suninen.
This isn't good enough.Last edited by T16; 21st January 2021 at 14:45.

I don't consider Stohl anywhere close a gentleman driver nor a slow driver... he was doing great also in the Kronos Xsara in 2005 against 6 works team. And Wilson achieved few 5th places in what, 6 full seasons? But I do remember Rautenbach getting a 4th place in Argentina in 2008, so I guess you need to go back to early 2000s to have really strong fields, which is a long time ago.

Drivers are immediately different persons when they are talking in their own language and don't need to have "translator in head processing". Especially Taka.

The Krono Xsara was a better car than the 307 though. His absolute top results in 05 came in Cyprus or Acropolis (one of those abrasive, rallies) and the Australia where all top guys retired, Duval won and Rovanperä in the Lancer was 2nd. In 07 Stohl was back to that pace again.
If you look at Wilson and Greensmith, the results are quite similar, 7th, 8th, 9th, random 5th and so on.
Obviously the huge difference is that Wilson was just an added driver who didn't really take the seat from anyone at all. A bit like Katsuta in the 4th Toyota.
Anyway, my point was, that while the quality overall is a bit "meh" in 2021. It's not that much different from some of the late-mid 00's.Last edited by Myrvold; 21st January 2021 at 15:06.
