Rally Sweden 2017

I'm a fan Meeke & Nagle and want to see these doing well, and very frustrated with the performance over the last 2 rally's. I was convinced they had one eye on the championship this year. But after watching this, they are miles off!

Watch the on-board of Meeke on SS17 on WRC+.... I thought he had backed off to save tires for Power Stage...

Watch this first 5 mins.. after that he basically gave up..." "***k this, I'm not driving this"

Caution the language is +18

That is certainly an interesting ride!

Wow... that onboard. Car looks like it has too much power to the rear..
Hope they get it sorted asap because Mr Meeke is one very unhappy man.

About Argentina and Mexico with the R5 it's because they have to breathe through a smaller restrictor. It makes sense that a lower absolute pressure forced through a smaller opening will create a bigger difference than a larger absolute pressure and the same comparison so I am not too surprised there.

Is 33 to 32 mm so much different?

Thanks for the tip-off. And welcome to the forum!

That's a very interesting onboard indeed. Would recommend people watch it before Citroen get it pulled down.

Agreed. Just watched it (with headphones on, fair warning) and it's a fascinating watch. The car is shoddy and he is fighting to keep it in the road. No wonder such colourful language.

That is one horribly handling car, potentially big problems for Citroen.

Interesting that it doesn't look so bad on SS16 though, I wonder if they changed something between stages.

Great result. Just what the championship needed. Well done JML, Tommi & Toyota.
Unfortunate mistake again by Neuville, but super impressed by his speed. As well as Tanak's pace.
Citroen has some work to do.
Being a Kiwi, I'm hoping Paddon can have a bit of luck next rally.

Now as far as that troll sNOT is concerned. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Everything he says is wrong.

When I asked the forum about six months or more ago if 2016 WRC cars would be allowed to compete in 2017, sNOT was the first to answer with "NO". Proven wrong...again, like most things he posts on here.
You all know the crap he writes on here, he will rubbish any driver who has a bad rally and say they should leave the WRC. He will put down a new team before they they even hit the stages. Fickle.

sNOT, you may have some form of brain that allows you to play with your testes and tube in the lab. That brain may be intelligent, but it's definitely not smart.

It seems quite obvious that something is wrong with the Citroen car. I do hope it is not something fundamental but rather setup related and they can improve quick.

I expect Toyota to struggle on gravel a bit, hope i am wrong again.

Assembling a team based on nationality and drivers based on manager connections.

If you study the results you will see that the win was a complete fluke.

We have a long season ahead, the fun just begins.

Citroen, Quesnel, engineers, test drivers, Seb and Seb. What did they all have in common?
