    Epic rally! Huge congrats to Neuville/Gilsoul and Hyundai, they’re showing to be the strongest combination in this year championship.

    Also huge congrats to Tanak; that small mistake doesn’t fade his fast, brave and spectacular driving. Latvala deserved better and Suninen made a heck of a debut; Veiby was brilliant in WRC2, just like Solans in JWRC. Congrats to them all.

    Horrible rally from a safety perspective. Even the south european and south/north american rounds look safe and well managed in comparison. I'd be surprised to see it back on the calendar. With all the rally enthusiasm there is in Poland, you'd expect the marshals wanting to do a good job as to keep the round in the WRC but you get the sense they couldn't care less about the task that was given them.
    I think basically 70% of the marshals had good viewing points chosen out beforehand and left their jobs as soon as the stage begun.

    I just watched Neuville onboard from SS21 when sees this corner 20 m ahead his reaction is "Ou la-la".

    The guy with the fire truck was epic... "Oh, here comes a fire truck when the stage is running, I'll just wave my hand a little... He didn't stop... Oh whatever"

    If you look at the entry into the watersplash, you can see that one part of front left aeradynamics is badly hanging off. I am just wondering how much such thing affects handling into such a fast corner?

    Me too. Either Vieby is quick or Tidemand is slow.

    Seemed like the throttle stuck on braking into the junction and then something in the transmission broke when he released the clutch on the rev limiter to try and stall it

    Is Tidemand actually good? Even though he's won four events he's never faced too stiff of a competition. With Veiby now beating him and Mikkelsen having nearly won in Portugal I slightly doubt how good he really is.

    Also, moving on to JWRC, how good is Solans really? Hats off to him for winning all events so far, but could it be that his competition isn't very stiff at all?
