I have not seen any detailed statistics but compared to the very large number of Fabias built (~200?) the number that caught fire or got destroyed (5-10?) is not all that big. Especially compared to how many rally kms they have driven.
Sure it does seem to be an issue, but it's not on an "omg we have to fix it before tomorrow" level.

Unless the issue has been there for "days" and "tomorrow" is more like "never".

I think allready homologated the solution. Remember read something about that.

Imagine if it was a WRC with this sort of known problem. I dont think they would be allowed to continue to compete.

imaaaaaggiiinee all the peooopleeee
Speaking about favourites i see that in pickems many have put Tänak first or at least included him in the TOP3. But the truth is that Mexico is his weakest gravel rally IMO (at least results wise and he hasnt shown great speed there either). And next round in Corsica is his weakest rally of all in the calendar so if he gets podiums from those two rallies it would be very nice.
Call me crazy if you want but my favourite is Loeb followed by Meeke and Mikkelsen.Last edited by EstWRC; 6th March 2018 at 13:32.

I noticed the same. Tänak said in the preview that he likes more the faster type of Mexico roads like El Brinco, and this is where he made the fastest time last year, but the truth is most of the roads are of the slower type. Still, he didn't have a good Deutschland result either before winning it last year.
I'm putting my money on Ogier. He knows how to handle these conditions and is the best of driving super clean with the low power and he isn't even the first on the road. Last year he was really up there although the car was new to him on gravel. Now he has had a year of setting it up more to his tastes.
Loeb will benefit from his starting position and has a winning car, but he has been too long off from gravel rallies, it takes some time to settle in. Also, he might be getting too old to handle the super fast reactions needed for these new WRC cars.
Meeke will be fast but will he finish?
Also, it's another question on whose car will handle best the conditions. Last year after El Chocolate 1 we had all cars with some sort of problems except Meeke.
