Stage 20 was canceled for the rest after Pärn...
Ogier just got a lot of points in my book... great move.
worth nothing...if I'm quoting Tanak...Quote:

1st to 6th inside 40,3 sec.
Must be a kind of record this.
Mikkelsen could have been a bit more gracious in his interview. He walked backwards into his victory.
Congrats to Mikkelsen though as he has had bad luck in the past too. Great job all weekend with a tougher road position.
Very sorry for Tänak.
no words......

Great rally by Breen and a brilliant result - so happy for him after all the bad luck and tragedy he's had in the past.
Sweden '15 wasn't it?Quote:

He said that it was mostly down to luck who came through the last two stages with no problems, and that he was the lucky one?Quote:

Lappi again with troubles...
This was very painful to watch...great to see Ogier and other drivers going to Ott and cheering him up. For me, he is the real winner of this rally. But this is rallying.
Actually in a democracy there is an absolute right for the Remain camp to say this was a flawed vote with lies as to the effects of remaining that all the Brexit camp disowned the moment the election was done. I shan't give up until we can get this issue voted on again now the economic effects of the out vote have been proven. No to Article 50!Quote:

DMack are ahead of schedule anyway... :)
DMACK managing director Dick Cormack said:
"I genuinely believe the combination of M-Sport and Ott is the best platform to help us develop our WRC products and push for leading stage times when the opportunity arises.
"DMACK has a clear strategy to challenge for the WRC title in the future and the only way to achieve this is to focus hard on product development and undertake a full WRC programme with the correct partners to prove our performance and our goal of competing at the pinnacle of world rallying alongside Michelin and Pirelli.."

BREAKING NEWS: Mikkelsen gifted Poland victory
a bit harsch the word gifted?
Despite the obvious momentary disappointment we shall see it in the positive light - both Tänak and DMack did a tremendous job in Poland and we can only hope they can continue like that. Well done and brings us more!
Also congratulations to Suninen. In these last stages he showed great maturity which I had doubts about. Let it continue!
SS21: WRC 2 EVANS
Second place in WRC 2 for the Welshman. "If you had offered me second earlier I would have taken it, but I half feel a win was on the cards. Still, it is what it is. Second is better than nothing on a weekend like this. I really feel for Ott. He had such a great rally."

and we have to think that he is at a private entry/car compared to Evans and Lappi/Tidemand.Quote:

Hopefully Ott can use this as fuel and go to Finland with the right attitude. We know he has pace. He showed us something additional this weekend. Now we need to see him at the front in more rallies. Sure he needs Dmack's help to do this but it seems they are both heading in the right direction.
I really hope they can sort out some kind of third works car for next year.
M-Sport @MSportLtd
Heartbroken. @OttTanak and @MolderRaigo, you were a cut above the rest this weekend. Your time will come...
No wins maybe but so good to see an M-Sport Ford Fiesta WRC & Fiesta R5 back up there in Poland, mixing it with the latest factory cars.
vs Paddon vs Latvala vs everyone else...Quote:
