I was really the only driver in the team to follow up with the speed of Sébastien and Elfyn.

He was saying similar stuff in Argentina 2017 or sometime around that.Quote:

There are quite a few times where he also has been the slowest Hyundai (lately Estonia 2020, Sardinia and Finland 2019).
I hope Adamo will be heard and FIA promoter will create a rotation based calendar. We need Estonia, we need Croatia, we need Belgium, we need Greece, we need Safari, we need the classic events as well.This way the sport gains more fans. Watching the social media, I see that Croatian people were really excited with the rally and they cannot wait to watch a WRC rally again.
Organize rallies in places people are passionate about them, this is what the sport needs. My fellow Greeks celebrated and are still celebrating when they heard we will host an Acropolis again, they even made a parade with their cars in Lamia.
Estonians are crazy about the sport and Tanak, I witnessed it in Catalunya 2019.
British people as well.
Get rid of rallies with few spectators and no passion, it is a bad image for WRC.
Yeah. Agree. Rotate more. But don´t touch Rally Finland... that´s for sure.Quote:

I hope Croatia is in WRC next year. I have heard very good things about Zagreb from some old Serbian friends and I will surely visit it.
It was very nice event, really OK organized, with everyone really trying to do their best to make it happen!
Roads were really demanding, but at same time enjoyable to drive. Stages with very different character, many types of roads and surfaces, some extremely slippery. Some anti-cuts and some deep cuts with loads of gravel on the road.
This was surely great addition to the calendar.
Only thing which I don't like on all that type of WRC tarmac rallies is that only P1 and P2 crews can use gravel crews, which automatically makes fighting between top WRC2 and WRC3 crews impossible, etc.
Rally Finland is rotating itself :DQuote:
