Presumably they won't allow him to finish ahead of Andreas.Quote:

You guys have been spoiled with too dramatic rallies. It’s definitely not boring watching those guys push it to the limit stage after stage. It’s just driver and car quality that we don’t get offs or issuesQuote:

I do not complain though... its easier to see who is who in fast conditions. avoiding punctures takes no skill.
Loubet went off again in the same spot as in the first run, lol.
It seems that Loubet is not learning at all. A half spin and a stall on the same place as during the 1st run...
Wow Tanak is flying.
What a time for Tanak
Look at the difference when Ott got the car little more working for him
tanak should be the man that Hyundai should listen for the new car... Neuville got his chance for a long time now and he was busy crashing on super specials and handing over cheap titles to ogier.
Bulacia back in the lead.
With such a detailed notes, no way a codriver can add advice in between the notes.Quote:

Nice one, Bulacia!
Passed Mikkelsen in overall
Sorry. Big wrong from you.Quote:

Dupanton is rally co-driver. Of course, he can judge.Quote:

I agree with both ideas. Reducing note detail and adding a more experienced co-driver could be a good idea.
Co-driver's advice is not given only during the stage, it's also during recce, between stages, reactions in sudden situations during stage (remember how Nagle kept Breen calm in Ypres and Estonia when they caught a car on stage). Also remember what Marshall said to Solberg after they completed the first stage of Arctic. Solberg was already critical of his performance and Marshall said something like "hey, it was your first stage in this car". This kind of comments are important. However, at the same time I don't know what's the relationship between Solberg and Johnston.
Another example is when Suninen changed Salminen to Lehtinen, he used to be really mean at Salminen for small things, but towards Lehtinen there was respect.
the thing is that you made a completely needless and baseless attack on him.Quote:

About putting less detail in the notes, that is just a guess from me. But personally, I don't think all the "tightens" don't contribute to his notes. But I could be wrong there.
And yes, I've been in a rallycar :p https://www.ewrc-results.com/coprofi...4-anton-dupan/

Animated visualisation. While top 6 quickly became railway tracks further down the field there is a lot of movement
After watching animation you can click on one or more drivers names to highlight their progress.
