Should Yazeed be our vote of two-thirds of the poll? How on earth did they do to make him lead the poll?? I´d say they can lay it down. Bull....!!!

Yeeees, we know some poll can be manipulated quite hard. But Ogier to take 9% as achieving the first win with VW in only the second Rally, beating no else but 9 times world champion, this is just ridiculously pathetic.

wrc.com is pathetic

wrc.com is pathetic because how people vote?

I probably don't now what pathetic means.

Now with full video coverages wrc.com is not bad at all.

As others have mentioned before me, this was a phenomenal rally.
But to clarify something that not everyone knows. The tires they use in Rally Sweden are very different from those usually used in winter in Scandinavia. The factory drivers are those who know and tests with these type of tires the most.
I do not know how much for example Hanninen, Neuville, Tideman and others tested with this type of tire before the rally started, but this must be taken into consideration when considering whether either disappointed or run well.
For anyone who attended the rally, it came clear that all of the first four in the result list, trying to win at any cost. Those of the others who tried to follow this pace, yes we saw what happened with them.
I have attended many RS but do not think I have seen such attempts by top drivers ever. In any case, not by so many.
I guess I have not seen Loeb make so many mistakes ever either. So for those who thought he was / is immortal, under pressure, he makes mistakes like everyone else. The difference is that now he is under pressure, instead of squeeze others.

Not exactly sure, but I'm quite sure it's the small jump near shakedown finish.

My video from Rally Sweden, it's recorded with a compact foto camera, so don't expect too much. At least the video includes images of other cars apart from top ones and also the historic class, all in original sound.
