all this "improvements" not mean too much. WRC is a way better to RRC, and so? see SS1 results.

And also the Hyundai drivers haven't the paddle, don't want to pick though that it is such an advantage, but still ..

I thought Osberg would be faster but Meeke could well pull him in. Early days, he may get faster, maybe not.

You are right, Ostberg and Meeke isnt competitive enough. Latvala isnt happy with the car but he is second. I wonder what will happen when he is happy. At the moment VW plays with Citroen and Hyundai..

Meeke doing ok for first full snow rally (no gravel coming through) but Mads should be more at home. But, as said, early days.

With the starting order being all the buzz nowadays, does anyone have any reason why the WRC2 starting order in Sweden is so strange? Why is Al-Rajhi starting first...shouldn't Ketomaa be first (second in WRC2 2014)...and so on? Really strange, none of other seeding make any sense either.

I ordered 1month WRC+ ...poor that wrc2 and wrc3 won't be able to follow by live maps. Had to send email and answer was:

Quote:

Dear WRC+ user,

Thanks for your request and your interest in WRC+.

Live Maps and onBoard Action is only available for WRC.
We ask for your understand in this matter.

Best regards,

RallyRadio has live maps, so propably it's ready but they don't want us to see those maps. POOR!!!
