    2. Since it's the start of the season and the highest profile rally in mainstream media we get a lot of new members or inactive members waking up and posting some superficial stuff due to excitement or lack of information.

    The combination of these two things leads to a lot of "noise" in the forum. In a way it's good because it means people are excited and interested but the downside as you say, is that it drowns out the deeper analysis or conversations. It was most obvious in the Monte thread where almost at each stage drivers were going from hero to zero and back again.
    You're right. I personally don't care much of someone's opinion of some driver to the point where are personal insults. We should keep the good language in discussions.

    Not surprised that it's under 1s/km for this rally. But for the rest of the season it will probably be above that.

    Of course it will be above that, if the only remaining '16 car is Serderidis, it may go to 1 minute/km.

    Comparing 2 different calibre of drivers driving 2 generations of cars on such a tricky rally is not very useful. Let's wait for Mexico and compare 2016 & 2017 times, if the conditions will roughly be the same.

    IMO on the Monte the analysis of every stage and every driver, every team and every car, every tyre choice and every little incident was getting just too much.

    This is just a sport. Its meant to be fun and exciting. I enjoy watching rally cars being driven fast... the noise they make and admiring the skill of the drivers. This is why I got into rallying... not to analyse it to death.

    It's just for fun, nothing 100% of course, and how it could be. But anyway You can always say Ogier lost 40 seconds in a ditch with kind of might equalize their times.

    Thank god there are people who analyse things to death and the world evolved in every aspect.

    On the other hand its good that basic simple folk stay in shallow waters, but to praise incompetence is insulting to the human race.

    He makes Prokop look faster than the speed of light.

    Goodnight Guys, new to Forum. I'm from Barbados if you know where that is.. lol On the Rally Topic, do any of you believe that Seb was handed the win in Monte due to the fact that Neuville had problems?
