Nice summary. Hyundai said they did some suspension changes before Spain. Not sure if it involved any jokers. (that can be searched in FIA docs online afaik)Quote:

I know most people (including me) are looking forward to close fight all weekend, but it might as well end with 2 drivers having random technical issue in first 2 stages....
Aren't You modest:DQuote:

M-Sport is late again
Weather stuff:
Could be rainy on Friday
https://www.yr.no/place/Australia/Ne...amba/long.html
Dry on Saturday but raining over the stages on Friday
https://www.yr.no/place/Australia/Ne...ille/long.html
https://www.yr.no/place/Australia/Ne...unga/long.html
Sunday stages are located at the same area as Friday, could rain then as well.
Obviously it's still a week to the rally, the forecasts could still change but would be interesting on rainy conditions...
....this Rain on Friday could help Ogier!!! would be great :)Quote:

But for us mere mortals it just adds to the crazy season. Already excited for 2019 and 2018 isnt even over.
If the turnout in AUS for spectators is weak it says a lot about the Coffs Harbour location.

I would expect teams to protect their drivers and not have them doing extreme sports just before the final round of the championship.
What they're doing is probably not that dramatic
Only thing extreme in those pics were those harnesses.. the rest is pretty tame and lame compared to driving a WRC car
Recce is probably more dangerousQuote:

Wow is Teemu really that tall?
There is a slight slope, and Mads is tiny. However Teemu does still look hugely tall compared to everyone

He is definitely a lot higher than Østberg.

My good weather source (intellicast.com) says 70% chance of thunderstorms on Thursday evening and 50-60% chance rain between 3am and 11am on Friday morning.
my sister just bought the new fiesta st for her daily super market shopping and terrorizing the world with her non existent woman driving skills... so i am an Ogier M-sport fan now since she is my favorite person in the world.
Adjust your behavior accordingly dogs....
Would rather it was a little wet.
you've got a family??? biggest news of the year, we all thought you were born in the woods and raised by wolves. That was the only possible explanation to understand your behavior.Quote:
