Ogier on the limit
30.000 euro fine at hyundai because car No 40 found with wheels exceeding the nomimal width
hohohoooowwww Tanak -0.4 on 2nd split
If he makes it...
They already have a pair of those + one young guy who has potential to improve. ;)Quote:

Great drive Tanak... perfect.
Now all of the current cars have won on sealed and loose surfaces.
Very well done, Ott!
Tactical hay bale contact from ogier on the powerstage.. made sure he would win the PS by maximizing dirt on the tarmac.
He made a mistake there and it cost HIM time !Quote:

my god how good Ott Tänak is, points wise he should be just there with Thierry
Nice win... Τanak is a contender for sure... if that village team manages to keep reliable.
48th win for Toyota, the are now the most successful Japanese make in WRC and tied with Peugeot as 4th most successful make in WRC history.
Now that is far fetchedQuote:

Kaj :D
Rollercoaster of a rally:) great drive by tanak, back in the fight for the title. Nice drive in ps for Ogier.
video from 3 days action in WRC Rally Deutschland 2018

also great drive for Kopecky
Nice win by Tanak, and that trio (Ogier-Neuviile-Lappi) very good rally and season. The top 3 are head & shoulders above the rest, while Lappi is in a class of his own (not quite in the top 3 but still far from the others) while all the other drivers seem pale somewhat when you look at their scores after 9 rounds.
career to forget.. really what has he done apart from a couple of events with a specially designed tyreQuote:

What have you achieved...apart from being an "expert" in everything considering rally?Quote:

actual standing and 4 rounds remaining:1 Neuville 172p 2 Ogier 149p 3 Tanak 136p
Norwegians buy quite a few electric cars, hyundai have the ioniq and kona evs , so the marketing department at Hyundai might hope they can leverage some brand awareness/support in Norway by employing a Norwegian wrc driver.Quote:

Paddon said the rally finland i20 wrc front diff was similar to the 2016 diff so it has taken more than a year and half to get back to a 2016 'feeling'. So by that measure it could take till the middle of 2019 for Mikkelsen to be comfortable with the i20?
Amazing rally by Tanak, great job. If his car won't betray him, he can fully get back in the title fight.
Great pace by Ogier, 4th + PS win is actually a very good result, considering his mistake could have costed him to super rally for the 3rd day.
Neuville not on pace with his rivals here, but he didn't make mistakes and got a good 2nd place as reward.
So now 23 points between him and Ogier in the classification. One DNF and Ogier might be the leader again, and people were saying the championship was over...
Also true. He needs "reset" button.Quote:

Tanak really could be a championshipcontenter,but Neuville have shown amazing mature,and he can gets good points even at rallies he is not fast.
Tanak at the moment is the best driver,fast at every surface,but too little rallies to steal the crown.
Citroen a real disaster.They still support Lefebvre to show how fast is their new r5 car.
didnt get what you want to say.Quote:
