But of course, he is driving a Hyundai. If he was driving a toyota, he might have gotten away with it.

There must be a reason why 6 out of 7 champions in the last years were driving a toyota.

If you want to win, then you have to be faster than anyone else. With higher speed all the components get also higher stress and stronger impacts. If the driver is cutting in the wrong places and breaks the car, then it is the drivers fault. If the car breaks while driving it fast, then I wouldn't blame the driver.

And the trend with Tanak continues this year. When it’s super Sunday then he suddenly doesn’t have that speed anymore as previous days. Same story in Sweden and Kenya

Wake up call for Ogier. Let´s see what happens...

If Hyundai retire at the end of this year, can we see him & Neuville in the Yaris and see who is best out of all 10(?) Yaris Rally1 Cars?

Why not - lets call it World Toyota Invitational Rally Chanpionship, i.e., where some Ford looka-a-likes from MSport are allowd to participate. Split the GR into 3 private teams, similar to Rally Raid and go on.

Btw, i am ready to start 2025/26 Silly Season and prognoze that next year Sesks and McErlean will be teammates on full time. I really like what I see by both of them. Safety Culture could have been the first bird of companies that would appreciate the global brand visibility and provide necessary funds.

Cmon Ott. That’s more like it

Thierry is talking alot about cleaning like he is first on the road. Does it really still have this kind of effect considering his starting position?

Tänak got past Kalle in Sunday standings.

Rallying is so harsh, he has been the man of the rally but in the end you get a 3rd place
