Evans was pushing like hell, scary to watch his onboard
Bombshell: Neuville will never be a WDC. He is not good enough. Why do you think Hyundai hire Tänak? Everyone understand that, even Neuville.Quote:

The best rallydriver has probably not got the chance to show his/shes level at all, do to budget or other things. We will never know eighter.

If anyone is a bad team player it's Tanak.Quote:

Morning,calm down guys if Hyundai pull the plug then both of them will find their drives,until then lets focus to the fight.Tanak vs Evans.
You mean Neuville hasn't slammed the car?Quote:

And the car is a dog to drive though they have improved the pace tremendeusly for now.
And I doubt Neuville is making any less than Tänak. Both these guys are performance driven anyways and after 2 humiliating rounds I guess Neuville felt that it's time to play mind games, didn't go well. That crash was really bad for the team and TGR gets again better points from this rally.

Quite narrow that part in the forrest there.
But its quite many similar corners in this rally:)

At least there is fight for the win, without that it would be boring like hell.
Really hope Tänak takes it, at the same time Evans deserves it as well - 6.7sec from the lead but have 10sec penalty from stupid mistake.
Oh dear Formaoux :(
Disaster for M-Sport

I know we’re always blaming the drivers, but isn’t Richard Millener also responsible for the situation?
No heli live picture from crash place..
Fourmaux should take a break for some rallies.
I was afraid of that place, Taka also had a wobble there, gravel straight on the line and flat out speed
What do you mean?Quote:

When Malcolm was there, when a driver(s) had bad spells, there would be consequences, they wouldn’t continue as normal.Quote:

Fourmaux car still on the road I see from maps
I bet Millener hates these interviews and giving excuses.
No, I think he loves them. Wouldn't you?Quote:

Corona hit M-sport hard they had some bentley touringcar project coming but it was all cancelled and they lost a lot of money because of it. Also they invested a lot of money to Msport poland and the rally 3 hasnt been a world beating success yet. Their Rally 2 is worst of all and they dont have money or the people to devlop it. Its biggest problem is that its underpowered.
How long they are deciding? The car still hasn’t moved
There must be also regroup before PS stage with leading rally2 cars starting first
Stage starting now.
So much late and still re-starting the stage..? PS also delayed then
Bad one from Fourmaux that, absolutely no need for it. Oliver had done enough on the previous one to call off the fight, this was only for 4th place not a win.
It wouldn’t be a surprise to see him benched for the next one, but it’s not just him, Breen must be shot to bits as well. At least Loeb is in for Greece.
Tough calls to make at Msport in the next few days.
So they do not have anything to be pissed off as well? They develop their car for paydrivers and average drivers and get exactly what they bargained for. All fair then.Quote:

Yeh, I don't think that they can fall back on the drivers wages being the sole contributer to their issues. There are ways around the cost of the drivers wages.
Besides that, they have had quite a few silly technical issues this season. For example, the windscreen wipers have been consistently problematic. Even up to as recent as Friday with Breen.
Overall though, I feel like loubet should now be taking precedent over Formaux. I like Adrien and think he shows a lot of promise, but he could do with a spell in wrc2 to work out his tendency to fall to small mistakes.
Greensmith is not good enough and should become a full paying privateer if he wants to continue. I can't understand why he is in the team.
Breen should never have been hired as a lead driver. Its not his ability that is lacking, he just doesn't seem to have the bottle to lead a team. M-sport should be looking towards a new lead driver for next year. This year is over for them and I have to say, it has been very embarrassing.
I think that Malcom thought that he would get more money from Ford EU and Ford USA but only recently Ford USA has helped in a some way. Also he believed In Breen like many others including me believed.Quote:

Loubet FFSA and i heard not sure that he has a big personal backer who made his money in oil business.
Breen and Loeb dont have to pay
Huttunen sponsors are Marcus Grönholm. Ksbr medium size company in Finland. Viita ex rally Driver Jari Viita and his logistic company
Does the power stage being at it’s scheduled time or have they pushed it back?
Should start on time - for powerstage there is always extra time for regroup. And I think if TV stage is in danger, they could cancel previous stage.Quote:

This may be actually related with delay in previous stageQuote:
