at ss21 Suninen same time with Abbring 1,1 sec faster from Tidemand.Gap now 3,1 sec for the last stage
The WRC-boys are just driving (still fast), but in the WRC2 there's a big battle going on, Abbring's times (in compare) are very good, simple as that.Quote:

And if Hyundai build a normal car from metal rather then from crap - Suninen now can back to 4th place.
D-Mack's are good here (like in Poland and Finland), but the tyres are not magic... It's the braveness of Ott 'no fear' Tanak in combination with the tyres and with a very good (fast) car. He's the best next to Ogier, very very impressive (again).Quote:

No, if Abbring didn't end in a ditch already on first stage maybe he would be in the battle...Quote:

#WRC With 12 fastest times in special stages @OttTanak is the most BEST Performer in one Rally this year ➡️ http://bit.ly/XL8nl9
That's a fantastic time for Tidemand! O_O
Suninen lost 2nd and all hopes to be champion... A pity, I feel he deserved it!
omg Abbring stopped
Yes, his performance against works team was excellent.Quote:

Agree!Quote:

I don't know what You're trying to say because the simple fact he went off on first stage prevented him from having any impact on the leaderboard. Simple as that. What happened on second or third day is for Suninen/Lappi battle completely irrelevant.Quote:

Car #42 went off in the Powerstage. Both @KevinAbbring and @sebmarshall are OK.
Going for powerstage points? :DQuote:

Funny to see and hear Meeke whining all weekend over his starting position, when Tänak basicly had the same position.
Also, in finland he basicly told Ogier to shut his mouth ..
No because Evans remains 1st after Wales, only Evans or Lappi can win the championship.Quote:

He did sound like a broken record but I wouldn't read that much into it. Rather be honest and state the obvious fact that the road conditions aren't good (for Michelins) than to opt for Østberg's style.Quote:

Day2 - couldn't get into a stage
Day3 - finally cars works well and deliver good times but crash or something broke at final stage.
So Abbring now inconsistent, but car was not good enough at this moment
Saying Fiesta isn´t as good as VW and Huyndai was proven wrong on PS today.
I think saying "Fiesta on Michelin tyres isn't as good as VW and Hyundai on Michelin tyres" might still stand. With a side of "certain conditions suit Dmack tyres better than Michelin".Quote:

10. DEAD HEAT IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP
10.1 DRIVERS AND CO-DRIVERS
For drawing up the final classification of a Championship, the rule for deciding between drivers and co-drivers who have scored exactly the same points total shall be:
10.1.1 According to the greater number of first places, then second places, then third places, etc., achieved in the final classifications on their respective Championship, counting only those rallies which have served to make up their points total;
10.1.2 According to the greater number of highest places achieved in the final classifications on their respective Championship, counting only those rallies in which each of the drivers and co-drivers concerned have taken part, one 11th place being worth more than any number of 12th places, one 12th place being worth more than any number of 13rd places, and so on.
10.1.3 In the event of a further tie, the FIA itself will decide the winner and decide between any other tying drivers and co-drivers, on the basis of whatever other considerations it thinks appropriate.
Yep, D-Mack tyres were good but it's not only that and Tanak himself, it's also the car, it has the speed Tanak already was proven in Poland and Finland (and even Kubiva last year). What you can say also is that Ogier is by far the best and Latvala is looking every year less fast, a very good number two driver where it looked a few years ago he was a potential worldchampion. But he has not 1% chance as long Ogier is in the game. Think next year the thread for Ogier will be comming from Meeke and Neuville.Quote:

To watch an event live is just as exciting. It can't be helped that one team one driver is better than the rest. Yeah I agree if your name is Sebastian you can win anything. But seriously what is wrong with the sport. It can only get better with the new cars next year.
Gone are the days of 5 day rallies that cover the country. But what we have as a spectacular sport about driving fast on all surfaces is still pretty spot on.
Steve
so whats peoples taughts on the 2016 rally in terms of stages..viewing points..service ...etc etc
Meeke whining on one event... that's hardly the same as Ogier, who is whining all season, even winning the title. THAT's whining.Quote:

And Tanak had a huge advantage over Meeke with the special super-soft DMacks here.
So it's Ogier's fault that he is the best? That was quite weird statement from you.Quote:
