Rally Wrc Monte Carlo 2017

Neuville in great form so far, hope he can keep this pace for the afternoon loop en coming days!
Seems to me the 2017 WRC's are pretty close to each other in speed. Toyota is faster than we tought.

Is Evans some kind of Malcolm/Gwyndaf friendship thing? It looks like father/son project in the past.

most is tyres.Remember that dmack produced a new tyre for 2017 wrc cars,and they have to start from zero point again.

Remember Petter saying that the only time he had to eat in to his own savings was driving a "factory" Ford :)

Can Meeke and Hanninen superraly?

Latvala should just aim to finish 4th and not take any risks on the Toyotas debut .

Not entirely realistic (says the guy who suggested to shoot stupid rally fans).

While I really enjoy that you can just turn up to RMC and spectate, maybe they should evaluate a system with rally passes and very strict marshalls that have the ability to cancel the rally pass of anyone that doesn't follow protocol. This situation has gone too far.

I like to see the best drivers in WRC cars. If they have a friendship let the guy drive some local rally s. Don't bore us with such a drive.
Mikkelsen is laughing his ass off in 7th place with an R5 between the 370hp WRC:)

Abbring should not be driving for a factory anymore. To much crashes not the talent we thought it would be.

If i would have WRC team i would call Kalle Rovenpera and give him a contract. He need a few more years but i would give him a contract for sure.
