Looks like Griebel wants the place back off Kajto.
Nice close up in the Manus.. Toyota just 8 pts down now.
Is it first time during this season where Meeke and Latvala contributed to tanaks wdc ambition?
And he does it, good job by German drivers in RC2 here. 1-2-3 for Fabia Evo too.Quote:

Imagine if they drove like this from the start. Not pushing for stage wins and avoiding mistakes.Quote:

Any informations of Sordo and possibly Lappi checking in two minutes late at the final time control?
I'm happy about Meeke finally getting a good result. Now all works drivers have a podium for this year.
Yes good for him, let’s see if he can maintain this kind of driving for the coming rallies.....maybe something will click with him, he really only drove to his fast speed on 1 stage for the whole rally, and he finished 2nd.Quote:

Pathetic, they try so hard but after all they fail. No respect at all.Quote:

Overstepping the limit in Finland as well when that should've been another podium, despite the consequences of hitting that rock being unlucky vs how Latvala got off lightly.
Story of what might have been this year. It's poor conversion considering the positions he's been in, and that will make it doubly annoying for Meeke/Toyota because these tiny margins would've had him comfortably 4th in the championship and Toyota better off in the manufacturers.
However on the flipside of that, it's not like he's had a bad season in terms of being lost and miles off the pace in his first year in the Yaris. Let's see what he can do for the rest of the season, Turkey will be difficult though - 4th on the road now and wasn't there last year. Yaris struggled a bit for pace too (compared to how fast it is normally).

To me it seems silly to have something that can affect the results after the award ceremony. There may be mechanical problems which prevent drivers getting there in time or teams may simply use it to shuffle the standings around as has been the case several times. Why not end the rally at the finish line of power stage?
I can understand the nessecity of time controls and time penalties regarding it before stages - you need it to make sure everyone is at the start line at the correct time in correct order so the proper flow of the event can be quaranteed. Makes perfect sense. But what is so important about the final time control that it needs to dictate the rally results?
I have several unanswered questions in my mind about the rules since I started watching WRC in more detail last year, in the light of Rally germany I thought I would try and clear this one.
The rally is not finished at the finish line of the power stage, it's finished when the car is in parc ferme.Quote:

Because that's how rally works. It's always been like that. You start at the parc ferme and you finish there too so they can do final scrutineering.Quote:

I can't see Ogier retaining the title, the C3 is just not the championhsip car. Turkey is a hasard for anyone and there is a cleaning effect, the same goes for Australia if the championship will be opened then at all. Half tarmac Spain will also cost Ogier a lot since C3 is a proven blunder on that surface. Not even close to being enough to come back from -40.
Well this is how rallies are arranged. The podium at the end of the power stage is a fake podium only for television. The results are always provisional at that point. Basically even the winner could still retire on the last road section.Quote:
