Of course he was favourite for the win in Finland but it was more the dominance which was impressive. Cruise mode after day one.

He made too many mistakes last year in ERC but let's see how he does the rest of this year.

Skoda should have realised how little attention WRC2 gets and had the new R5 Fabia ready in time for the start of the 2015 ERC ...

Agree. I think we should wait at least the end of the year, both for us to judge and for him to be calm and progress step by step. It won't be the first time that the hast ruined a promising driver. I remember a thread here where most of the people were hesitant about him even with an ERC title on his back, and for good reasons. This year he is more convincing and for sure he is in the right path,, I hope he continues like this but with the right patience.

I think his Skoda contract has allowed him to develop but the ERC focus has meant that he doesn't really have experience of the WRC events that are going to be his future. Only 10 starts! If he is able to take the WRC2 title this year then there doesn't seem a lot of sense in having him defend it, despite what his contract apparently says. He needs to be in a WRC car next year on select rounds, plus testing/gaining experience and doing reccys like you see with Abbring.

Maybe VW will run a fourth car on European events only for example.

Unofficially Loeb jumped 80 meters in Turkey some years a go (based on telemetry data), officially Schwarz on Fafe 2000 jumped 73 meters but that jump doesn't look that long in the video.

Of course if he continues like this until the end of the season, his 2016 should be as you predict. Let's see where he will be at the end of the year.

I was at NORF for the first time and it was just awesome! I can recommend everyone a visit, because it's really easy as a spectator to get to good spots, although you don't know the region. Well organized event! Events like Rallye Deutschland e.g. are not bad of course, but NORF is nearly unbeatable. You have to love it....

It was also my first visit to norf, what a hell of a rally!
Very well organized, just sometimes the parking was a bit chaotic. On Saturday they wanted us to pay 10€ for parking, this is just too expensive.
Everything else was perfect, friendly security guys and all the other spectators we met were also always in a good mood, we had lots of laughs. The Finns are cool!

Rally radio was also awesome, they should do this at more rallies! This was the first rally where we were always informed about what's going on. Every second guy had a radio with them, so cool :-)

We will definitely come back.

Not wherever you want, but there are lots of possibilities away from the spectator areas.
Depends on the marshals, some of them are relaxed, some not.
It's not as easy as on Sardinia for example, but much better than in Germany.

Maybe Kris should be looking for a new co-driver. What's Derek Ringer up to these days?

Thanks! Tried to bring as much different without making it too long this time after some comments after Sweden :)

Podiums is always a nice ending! :)

It was very heavy rainfall when the cars did Jukojärvi2. Just a clearification.

00:53, I think its the new jump at Jukojarvi, not far after the start or its the Novikov jump at Horkka.
Curious about 00:05 too.

The second video it's from Ouninpohja. Don't know the exact spot, I need to watch some onboard videos, but I thinks it's from the second half of the stage.
