Sadly most Estonian sports fans are true gloryhunters. WRC is very popular here but should Tänak decide to stop or take a break, the popularity will fall of a cliff. Partly reasonable, partly sad as we have a few young guns trying to break through.

Yes, I still remember our cross country skiing glory days well when everybody was skiing specialist and when I tried to explain them that most of our success was because of doping I was being verbally attacked quite agressively. That was years before these doping cases but hey don't believe a guy who has been in sports in his whole life ;)Quote:

If anybody was enjoying Road to WRC with Sean Johnston and Alex Kihurani on Dirtfish YT, they're now only on Sean's YT. I only just found that out and they're usually good fun.
So who thinks what about Lappi's full season with Hyundai?
My guess we will see Breen in ford vol2 or Tänak in Hyundai with slightly less speed. (meaning struggling with car and not finding confidence)
and just to be clear i really like Lappi, hope he will do great, but this is just my honest opinion
I used to see Lappi as a future world champ but since Citroen he looks like that co-worker that is always doing nothing while recieving his money and not caring about that too cuz "If the owners didnt wanted me here they wouldnt be paying my salary"... Which I find cool, since he is my favorite driver in WRC
LAPPI 2023 WORLD CHAMPION

The best WRC2 driver available with all the experience and knowledge of the development of the best car in the class has to be worth gold for someone want to develop a competitor.
M-sport should be all over the place for that deal, but sadly they don't have money/are grumpy/wrong leadership.

I saw on youtube video about McRae - Sainz rivalry. In video, commentator said, when McRae joined Ford in 1999. that he became the most payed rally driver in the world ever. Since then, Ford Years (99-02) not even a single driver was payed as high as McRae at Ford.
Do you guys think this is true or BS?
they had Martini as sponsor these years.
It's very likely; it was a huge move when announced in the summer of 1998; a similar time to when the first CMR game came out. Ford were completely committed, and by the time the 1999 season started Martini had signed up (as Dimvii has already said) - and there was the Ford/McRae TV advert. WRC was a far bigger deal back then.Quote:
