What do u mean, Neuville was clearly dominating in 2022 Greece and his win was deserved, how can u say "Wasn't allowed to win"? you mean "The win wasn't gifted to Tanak" instead?Quote:

When did Tanak slow down in Hyundai? In CER last year he was told not to go flat out in one stage. Hyundai didn't even tell him to let it go in Japan and bring it home for the manufacturer title.Quote:

And tomorrow both Tanak and Neuville will push regardless for the Sunday and PS points, so whether or not Neuville is there, Tanak has to go flat out and take some risks to get bonus points.
Yeah right…Quote:

I don't think Thierry has real chances this year, but you mean to tell me that Tanak in 2022, with the most unrealiable car in recent memory and 72 points behind dominating Kalle with tank Yaris, with 4 rounds to go, had chances for the title? Not even close.Quote:

The last time I can recall a similar win was Makinen in Finland ‘94. One off drive and went and beat the top boys.Quote:

I felt the same sensation when driving a lower class cars in some rally game. Like "oh come on I could have done this stage a minute faster with a better car". And I have not even once driven a rally car myself in real life. Now that he has tried the WRC car he knows that he is as fast as the top3 drivers in the world. Let's hope he will win the event and earn a contract for next year. It definitely will not be Hyundai but perhaps Toyota? Instead of Pajari? Because Taka will stay in Toyota until he is 60 years old or smth.
Can we please get Oliver in a Yaris Rally1 for Finland please? Been a sensation to watch, really hope he takes this one.
Hasn't been any rain on Sunday stages yet right? Looks like it might hit 18 around 10 according to windy, hard to tell and no radar on YR for this area
I planned almost all my stages they would be damp
I am close to the stages and it has rained overnight a little but it’s just little. Should make the sand compact and the grip even better.
But not sure if it has been the same also on the stage.
Btw engine change for Tänak for “caution”
Where is that engine change information from?
