Rally Sweden 2014

Is this Juho's first start with WRC car?
Anyone expected more from him, or it's too early to judge?

No he did 3 events in a Fiesta last year. He won a stage in Monte Carlo.

He was Hyunday test driver, developed the car, there was some discussion on WRR today about it. Probably we can assume snow Rallies suit him. I don't know what to say, but it's not "Hyunday employed team tactics". Probably expected little more speed from him anyway.

[with 30km of stages between tyre change,tyres are finished? tomorrow with 58km stages between change he will compete with rims only?

it is possible, if he keeps this high pace and is not effective on tyres. this is why in my first post today I said "now is too early, we should speak tomorrow"

you expect speed while at their first rally didn t manage to collect data....
First you have to understand such easy subjects,and then why factories playing tactics.

Playing tactics (if they were) at this stage of the rally is just provocative from VW. Juho´s performance today just mirrors what Hyundai expects just as Dimviii says. Maybe last stage he´ll be allowed to be flat out if he is on 8-12th place in total.

and why didn t manage to kept his pace today with half km stages(YOU said that his tyres were worn)?Ogier wasn t close with Tanak or any other driver,Latvala was ahead of other drivers,so he hadn t got any reason to risk tyre wear. Of course it is too early,but we discuss what we saw till now.i told you it doesn t makes sence.

Guys.. Seriously.. Every rally it is the same constant pointless argument. I read every post on this forum and am kind of over listening to it constantly, and maybe everyone else is to. You guys are respected forum members and provide a lot of useful discussions but this is just silly. Ogier is a good driver, Loeb is a good driver, but they are drivers of different generations. VW are a good team, Citroen are a good team.
Please just leave it at that.
