Nice to see M-Sport put one of the mechanics up for collecting the trophy.
Abiteboul now in interview with WRC+ said: "We are looking forward to next season, we will be in better situation.. More info you will know in next few days"
So.. 4 cars and someone from good drivers to the team? Ogier, Evans or Tanak?
He was looking so confident, I think something big is coming
He can get all the drivers he wants, but if the car doesn't get closer to Toyota, they're not winning. Winning the title with a car that will make you DNF or have serious troubles in 3-4 more rallies than Toyota is almost impossible...Quote:

Really, I mean really, happy for Ott.
After all these difficulties this season, with so many issues.
He still has more wins, not only from Neuville, but from the whole Hyundai team...
You need to have something special in order to make two wins maybe at the only two chances you had this year...
Lol, best post for this thread :DQuote:

If Hyundai got Ogier or Evans it would weaken Toyota as a team by quite a bit. If I had to guess it's more likely Tanak going back.
Agree, one of those 3 for full season
Pleased for Tanak and MSport. They did a great job all weekend. Be interesting to see what news follows in the next few days from Hyundai….
It is purely my speculation/gut feeling, but somehow I had today the same feeling as when Tänak won the championship with Toyota and moved to Hyundai: he had to make a pause, searched for the right words and didn't have that emotion when thanking the team for the win in Chile. It kind of looked for me like: thank you for the great effort and win, but nobody can actually celebrate, because he is leaving the team. I cheer for the Tänak, but also for M-Sport and for me, I was really excited before this season and it would be sad to see Tänak leaving (but understandable). Time will tell.
Cyril said they’ll have some news to share soon but didn’t indicate if it was later this week or at the end of this month, but by his smile, should be an interesting (fingers crossed) shake up for 2024.Quote:

Totally agreed. Ott and Millener looked kinda too serious while winning.Quote:

Post Event press conference.
I can’t believe Becs didnt ask them about next year while she did from rally2 guys
Pajari said he will be in wrc2 next year but didn’t say more
My guess is Toyota for him
It is quite strange that Ogier didn't repost their team title on Instagram stories. He usually does this
Yes this is quite sad. I think Pajari will go for Toyota rally2, Solberg will stay with Škoda I thinkQuote:

No my question was genuinely about his level of driving.Quote:

Well done to Toyota too, who as predicted, won the manufacturers championship once again, I think as long as they keep Tom Fowler and their driver line-up will remain unbeatable for some time.
Gotta say, pretty excited about the next round, hope it will deliver. As much as it was nice having Catalunya at that time of year, it’ll be nice seeing more wet (at the very least I guess) conditions making the rally more treacherous.

Yep, just saw this, guess someone out there thought the same thing ;)Quote:

Estonian press today:
Thierry admitted in the interview to Belgian press: Ott is driving for Hyundai next year.
Cyril for DirtFish: we have stronger line up for the next year.
I'm pretty sure, it is just made-up translation and click-bait.Quote:

Since all the "journalists" are writing this about Tanak and Hyundai I'm starting to doubt it :P
Anyway good to keep Chile, i'ts nice to have South American rallies.
Yes, of course, speculations and clickbaits.Quote:

Seems like some nice after party! I wasnt able to follow much this weekend, but what i saw was really nice. Nice roads, and especially a lot of passionate fans!
Rally needs Flags, horns, hats,... all those things help create the rally atmosfere!
lol thanks for that, many interesting clips thereQuote:
