@Karlip1
INTERVIEW - Tänak to @errsport: "(Asked about not wanting to be a 'Forever 2nd driver') Respect to @sebogier, he still is a 5-time world champion and he has to have a priority. I accepted it this year but it can't be like this forever."
Michel V.
@rockollector
At least the difference in Toyota is they have more budget to fit new parts on all the cars maybe, or at least Lat - Tan, but Latvala has made it clear he's the number one in the team. I just hope everyone gets treated equal
@Karlip1
INTERVIEW - Tänak to @errsport: "I'm a bit jealous of Martin Järveoja - he sat into the car and started getting podiums - I wish it came that easy for me! He's the opposite of me - likes to sleep a lot and is very calm - maybe too calm."
INTERVIEW - Tänak to @errsport: "(About the 1-2 driver lineup in @msport this year)When we found upgrades for the car then, because of the budget, the parts were fitted onto Ogier's car first. But - no hard feelings @sebogier!"
NTERVIEW - Tänak to @errsport: "Maybe the criticism (in 2012-2013) was important for me to get back in line with things. (2017) Ogier brought a lot of excitement to @MSportLtd and he stimulated the whole team. His arrival opened up doors locked behind the budget."

Shouldn’t there be a difference between ERC and WRC events?
250 stage kms in 2 days is 125 kms per day, which is the same we’re getting nowadays on Friday and Saturday WRC legs. Dumping Sunday’s leg will suddenly make events more interesting to follow?
If they want to make exciting 2 day events, they must keep at least 300 to 350 stage kms, increasing each day competitive driving hours; never the opposite. Still, heritage events like MC, GB or ARG (plus NZ) must always be over 2 days and 350 kms.
Anyway, with cars reliability levels rising each day, it’s strange to hear all this nonsense about the need to quit endurance rally spirit (or what is left of it).Last edited by Rally Power; 29th December 2017 at 13:24.

It's reasonably well-known within the service park that TMR have have to spend far, far more than expected amounts of money rebuilding their cars after every (gravel) event.
total strip downs, with new floors etc to each chassis.
Combined with the logistical challenge of being based in the middle of nowhere in Finland, it's made it a considerable challenge.
This is Tommi just pushing a self-interested wheelbarrow. Maybe the new Estonian base will help.
although that in itself is proving somewhat of an internal challenge. It's believed to be one of the reasons Lehtinen left the team.Last edited by rallyfiend; 28th December 2017 at 23:34.

How would any of the proposed changes from this silly working group have changed ANY of that in 2025 or 2026?
WRC main class in 2025
