Well technically Mexico is not telling either because there is such a thick layer of sweeping gravel at the top and the event is run so high up that so theoretically any engine power advantage would be mostly gone.
Corsica is a twisty tarmac rally where we will see who has a good tarmac chassis but not much else, Argentina will again mean sweeping and possibly problems with splitters and water splashes... Etc etc.
The simple truth is that you have to be strong at everything as a team - car - driver combo to win the championship.
Only time will tell who that might be, but it is a lot closer this year.
Neuville has the speed and the road condition to win in Mexico for sure. Fun season to come!Last edited by itix; 12th February 2017 at 14:47.

Itix, Mexico, Argentina and Corsica are all very telling events about the engine. Sweden or Finland are not but these are.

I dont think Citroen will be saying the season starts in Mexico. They would prefer to already have the points that the others have.
Is the C3 suddenly going to dominate on gravel and the rest be crap. I wouldnt bet on it.

If you want to win the championship against Ogier, you need big points right from the start. Latvala and Tänak have done that so far. Neuville wants to be a champion this year, and his pace indicates that it could happen. He has been the man to beat so far, only problem is that he lets everyone beat him with those silly mistakes. A podium, if not a win, is a must in Mexico for him if he's to stand a chance.
As for Meeke, I'm not surprised one bit. Put pressure on him and he cracks. It's far from over, but if he really wants to stand a chance against the most consistent man in the sport, Meeke's result haven't been good enough so far.
