It is pointless to argue whether this event belongs to WRC calendar, the essence lies in the fact, that all top teams knew very well where they are going, so did the drivers and they should ADAPT the cars and driving approach to this kind of a car-breaker event. The mony is there, the knowledge too. Period.Quote:

Nice but You're acting like the event was made only for those 12 works cars but the entry field is not only made of works WRC cars - quite the opposite. I can guarantee that event like this will never be popular among other competitors because there is no pleasure in braking your car without actually racing. Imagine You're a junior R2T competitor. Why should You spend money on an event which is no joy to drive, which will cost you fortune and where there is low chance you'll even finish? After that people will cry that there are always 30-40 cars entered like if it was somewhere in Mexico. Cyprus organizers also found that the car braking stages are not what attracts competitors and instead came with other unique concept.Quote:

Technically Ogeir maybe could persuade some WRC2 drivers to step down (e.g. MSport) and gain maybe 8 th? What do we think of that?
Edit: No. Silly of me. Thinking those thoughts...
Good morning guys!

#RallyTurkay #Tyre info - Final Day
All Michelin @OfficialWRC drivers with 6 MICHELIN LTX Force H4 except Ogier: 5 MICHELIN LTX ForceH4 and Qassimi: 6 MICHELIN LTX Force M6
The money is there, the knowledge too But where is the sport? where is the talent of the drivers? where is the performance?Quote:

He will prbly catch Kajetanowicz and MSPORT will then for sure drop Evans down so he gets 1 point.Quote:

The rally leader is fastest by 2.0sec on the cleaning road to extend his overall lead to 15.1sec. "I'm focused hard. Let's see how it goes. It looks like Jari-Matti doesn't want to slow down too much!
Maybe, but not in the results.Quote:

Henning is quite a good mechanic himself, I remember one Rally Sweden when he took of the alternator off of his Fiesta WRC and repaired it roadside, put it back on and continued like nothing happened... :DQuote:

For PS the approach for the top 5 overall will be interesting yes.
Think Toyota will leave it up to Tänak and he will try. Latvala will likely take it easy as well as Paddon (who didn't seem to have the speed for top 3). Other big question is Mikkelsen, he could take points of Tänak, but Hyundai said before that manu is priority.
wtf, why is Evans starting before Tänak now?
5 mins early check in to start before Seb in powerstageQuote:

Just as predicted. Everything to get Even the smallest advantage.
Evans has certainly indebted himself massively to M-Sport this season. Just swallowed everything they've thrown at him and asked him to do. Makes me think he'll be with the team next year.
next year maybe they dont need somebody who will ease his pace to number 1 driver.Quote:
