Re: Kris meeke- the fastest driver with no seat
time will tell, i think that now after we are through with monte-carlo, most of the other rallies have "normal" conditions so it will play a hand there to Meeke's rivals but as he said if he can finish the Monte and in the podium i bet he can finish the other rallies, as time passes i think and hope he'll have less retirements.

that is not really necessary... Kris did a very good job here. The battle with ostberg will be very interesting indeed on gravel..on snow it will be unfair to compare the two.
In my mind the championship stars in mexico when it comes to judge how drivers perform... monte is more of a tyre gamble and a survival rally when conditions are like that and Sweden is a specialised event.

Spot on. Same applies to judging the Hyundai.

RS specialised for whom? VW has JML, Huyndai has Juho, Citroen has Mads, Ford has Mikko. Are they not specialists on snow? Kris should, and I do think he will, be able to do a top five in RS regarding his speed and confidence. Judging rallydrivers according to most of guys here on forum must be done on every surface. Why are you so often blaiming nordic drivers not performing on tarmac... without taking measures for "specialised events"??

Re: Kris meeke- the fastest driver with no seat
They all have specialists but Ogier wins (another dominant Seb)...:D

I am talking about comparing drivers not judging them in general. For sure their performance counts on every event but when it comes to comparing 2 drivers i think we should exclude events who favor the one over another. On tarmac the surface is in the championship since the beginning and we have many events each year so each driver is obliged to do well if he is a contender, while snow is just 1 event per year.
Re: Kris meeke- the fastest driver with no seat
Well, yes, OK. My quote did mostly regard Huyndai performance talk after your quote.

Of course, but the majority of the calendar is not made up of events like this, so it is not possible to draw conclusions from Sweden for the rest of the season.

Correct :) In fact there are not enough pure tarmac events in this years calendar.

I think there are fundamentally two different types of events in rallying, loose surface and sealed surface. Monte and Sweden are a bit different, Monte because of the conditions and Sweden because they drive on studs. I just see them as two iterations within that loose/sealed structure.
