Crossing the Irish sea via ferry in the autumn months could go either way at the drop of a hat depending on the wind.

If they were honest about a move and did a proper job fair enough. Always one step forward two steps back.

If Rally GB becomes Rally NI it won't be next year unless The NI Assembly convenes again, there is no cash available from Government otherwise, and trying to 'ticket' a rally in NI will be an organisational nightmare given the abundance of approach roads.

Also had a great event in Wales, glad the weather didn't punish us too much after all. The saturday leg has some of the best roads of the championship. Hope to go back next year.

I understand at the podium yesterday it was announced it will be in Wales again next year. Not confirmed which part, but in Wales...

Wales Rally GB was Tänaks 6th win this season. Last time this happened was with previous gen cars in 2016 with Ogier getting 6 wins in a season.

Ott can get up to 8 wins this season which happened last time in 2015 of course with Ogier.

Perhaps Neuville will be the Hirvonen of this generation?

he has already been runner up for like 4 or 5 times already. And Tanak looks very strong probably takes more than one wdc, mentally it will be hard for Neuville.
