Rally France (tour de Corse) 2016

Rally IS a cruel sport.

every sport where there are only a few top spots is a cruel sport.

The irritating thing is to have him saying he’s learning to drive on tarmac…after so many years why can he simply admit he’ll never be a fast asphalt driver?

Ostberg now it's like JML some 5-6 years ago. Not good at all at asphalt, but then find good tarmac coach and things improved. So Mads need this kind of man and do some european taramac rally's for "building a confidence" and "learn the tarmac" more quickly

Östberg looks really happy with his weekend.

Matton said on Belgian televesion during the Power Stage that he should be competing in Catalunya (or was it Wales, don't remember?)

He is scheduled to drive in Wales, if he can't make it, al Quassimi will drive the 3rd car.

...Burns won a championship without winning an event...

He won once in his championship year, in New Zealand.

Watch few Meeke onboards from TourdeCorse, and seems Paul calling pacenotes very very late and for next 100-150 meters. It's that tactick only for Corse or it's just normal Meeke pacenotes? If it's normal - he could be in big trouble with notes in future

Not highly valued?? Who is better then Neuville at the moment? I bet you can't name 5 drivers!

He's done well in the last few months yes, but many of the other driver's have had bad spells at the same time, making him look even better.

My current Top 5 fastest
Ogier
Meeke
Mikkelsen
Tanak
Neuville (JML poor at the moment)

Mikkelsen is quick, yes. But he has been very lucky to get the VW seat, I think Neuville would outperform him most of the time if they were in the same cars.

Tanak? Only in Poland and Finland i guess. Tanak isn't the all-round driver you want in your team.

ostberg is actually going backwards in terms of speed. last year he was in corsica nearly 2 minutes slower than winner latvala, this year he's almost 6 minutes slower than ogier.

in almost every rally this year, he is a lot slower compared to the rally winner. not just on asphalt, but also on gravel. one could say it's because the ford isn't as good, but tanak has proven otherwise.
