Looked at Fantasy WRC. Point scoring system must be way wrong in my opinion.
Tidemand almost scored as much points as Tanak. Anyone?
Every stage position in top 15 (top 10 on short stages) gives points. Tidemand drove almost all stages in top 10. Tänak skipped five stages and was outside top 15 on two on Sunday.
One thing I dislike about their system is the driver pricing - car has no effect on the value. This way Østberg in the R5 could more expensive than Tidemand in the WRC car.

Lappi still in PF ?
Tanak was not holding back. Did u not listen to tanak on Friday... He said he was maximum. Tanak was only one today who saved tyres and had Zero to lose. None of the Toyotas were competitive.. Full stopQuote:

well everybody is entitled to their own opinion and i didnt mean with that he would have had exactly the same pace as today on PS stage
Latvala saying they made the wrong choices in the test https://translate.google.ee/translat...a-valintoja%2F
Actually all the Toyota`s managed to grab a stage win...for sure Tänak wasn`t on full max. attack the days before. Yes, he wouldn`t have been as fast, as he was today with a light car+ slow driving, but definitely he was already taking care of the car before, trying to manage something in Top5 and hoping for others to have problems.Quote:

Also, this power stage was really bad imo in terms of commentary. I've already stated before that I much rather prefer the all live stages compared to the live TV ones. However this one especially, John going on and on about uninteresting things without meaning. I quickly started filtering out the chatter and just watched, with the commentary mostly as background noise

Tänak driving without spares and saving tyre through the whole Sunday's loop did not show their speed at a least bit. They created clear advantage for themselves.

it was Toyota 1-2-3 in Germany
Citroen 1-2 in Turkey
M-sport 1-2 in Wales ? or Hyundai?
Why M-Sport only 1-2? Do you not believe in Pontus? :DQuote:

I can’t think of a reason it wouldn’t be more beneficial than the current format.
They read a tweet out on the WRC studio show and it suggested the same thing, so I’m assuming it was the same person.
Makes me wonder if the WRC will pick up on it and consider it.
If so, massive pat on the back to you, cracking idea!

I heard it and thought the same, for us Rally fans in the sport it would be great.Quote:

Doubt it. They were past the flying finish and clear of the stage.Quote:

"Power-Sunday" is interesting idea, I just wonder, what kind of team-tactics it opens.
For example - you can play a lot of points to your no. 1 in team forcing others to be slower. Like it was on the powerstage - only top3 were fighting for the win there. It may end up to be worse than it was at the moment. It easier to play tactics over day then over 1 stage.
Suninen delighted by Turkey progress - https://t.co/JvhwBhS07d
Gus Greensmith on his "little off"...
'The joke is on me really, I’ve aged 10 years since yesterday.'
So wishbones some overweight from homologation, not saying how much, or do they mean 20-25 grams? My english lacks a bit here...Quote:

Actually 5000 with 25000 more if they don’t fix it?
But everyone has to go fast those first 2 or 3 stages otherwise you end up being in position where you can't do any tactics.Quote:

I'd say there would be less of the Sunday cruising than now
5000 with 25000 if it happens again within 12 months. They are supposed to fix the wrong values in the Homologation forms right away (see last paragraph)Quote:
