[WRC] Rally Italia Sardegna 2024

Yep, Rossel has been showing an absolute amazing speed today, of course a lot to do with the starting position but still

Tanak fighting for the win is worth 3 more points. Manufacturers doesn't change that also being a smart decision for Ott himself. No point blaming Cyril.

This whole point system should’ve been scrapped, 12 points for 39kms on Sunday? Joke. A win should still give out the most amount of points imho. Also, at the rate Ogier’s going I’d prefer if he’d swap with Kalle and just do the full season for this year alone.

He was leading the rally, not being 10-15s off the 1st place and chasing it.

in a sense i get the decision but i dont get it why it came so SOON.

if the decision would have come now after the two stages if Ogier would have been faster and passed Tänak, then i would get it and it would make more sense. But to come out of the lunch break and weave the white flag immediately and give up the lead to Ogier, very strange IMO.

and actually atm how the standings are, both Toyota and Hyundai are on equal points, but if Tänak would lead then Hyundai would get more.....

Cyril is really confident to take more points than Toyota on Sunday and I think that it will happen

Neuville lost contcentration and was too late on brakes for such slow corner..

First signs were in Croatia.

He should be happy that they made wins worthless this year. He can break so many records uncontested

If I we're in Tanaks place it tell them I'll slow down only if they bench the retard Neuville for the next rally

Are you daft? Having three cars still in the running is different than having two. Lose another and you are done manufacturers wise.

What's with all the tin foil hats all of a sudden? It's not like this never happened before, remember Wales 2003?

It's no good knocking Ogier, he didnt make the new (points) rules. And he's only doing what he's done all his career - win rallies.
