Credit where its due, a solid mistake-free drive by McErlean this time.
Jump start for Fourmaux. But still did well here... best of the rest.
Hmmm, who wants to lead into the Portugal gravel though, Elfyn or Taka.
E. Elfyn opens the road.
There are some drives that rellyied on luck to win titles over de years.
But definitivly Solberg don't has that gift.
When we see the Ogier's powerstage time, we understand that that french was also on the limit fighting with Oliver. But when it comes to luck, Ogier is the champion.
Ogier drives just under the limit. so the other need to go over the limit to make up time and catch him.
Ogier also made many mistakes in a row at the end of 2024..
but Solberg must take a breathe and start fresh from Portugal..
Solberg:
“Maybe I should have been satisfied with second place, but we’d been fighting all weekend with Seb and it was a fantastic battle,” he said.
“Maybe I was just a bit too optimistic at that point on the stage.”
“The feeling in the car was really good and the driving felt nice. It’s easy to say now, but I don’t feel like I was pushing too hard. The rhythm was normal.”
“I was 0.6 seconds behind Seb at that point, so it was just a small mistake over the jump.”
“That’s what makes it such a big disappointment.”
Am I missing something? Can’t see anything that amazes me in this video. Care to explain?
I’m happy that this rally is done and dusted. Roads are nice for drivers and they enjoy driving those cars there. But Rally Live broadcasts and onboard was really boring, same experience as last year.
Disagree, if I can because I've only watched a few stages. Watching onboard the speed and the lines taken was like reading poetry or listening to an orchestra. It didn't matter what the other guy's time to beat was, it was that each driver had to beat themselves, which is the art of driving.
I remember last year lots of wide roads and the cars looked lost and had no dynamic. Seemed better this year.
