While taking the lead with clearly superior drive. Love it! Would be nice to have Ogier back for full seasson, but also would be nice to have more competition overallQuote:

Mikkelsen onboards look much better this afternoon and it also tells in stage times.
The driving doesn’t seem so forced anymore
For me it looked like he was so much aggressive in the first stages.Quote:

With snow and ice it should be more beautiful ;)Quote:

Nice to hear the hybrid being discussed given it's the point of these Rally1 cars.
Neuville -2,7s on first split to Seb!
Great job by Fourmaux so far.
Superb run Thierry !
Even as an estonian, I feel great for Neuville. Good to see such emotions.
Proclaimed dead a thousand times, yet this sport still delivers.
I dont get it, by listening to commentators, thierry isnt the winner? but we will see it tomorrow? i understood that who is first on saturday night is winner
Waiting for dirtfish articles now, at least five of them how Neuville is the man to beat to the title
I’m not taking anything away from Neuville, this was just superb and maybe even one of his best drives today but that’s what dirtfish usually does.
Only championship points are divided differently, overall winner is decided still same as before, after final stage with smallest total time.Quote:

All competitors pay for the promoter's service.Quote:

He gets the maximum amount of points from the Saturday classification only IF he finishes the rally.Quote:

He can drop a positions, but he CAN'T retireQuote:

I also understood that rally winner is decided today*.
I thought that it is obvious
honestly it was quite clear on the reg. it just sparked a huge confusing argument on the fans mediaQuote:

Overall winner is still with least overall time. And there wouldn't have been such a confusion.
Im so hyped for tomorrow. It is going to be a huge battle
Looks like the position changes might work in Ogier's favour inadvertently. Theoretically a better road position. "Less" dirt, if today's form guide is to be believed.
