i thought it actually looked quite good on the super special, no massive understeer, just nice progressive oversteer, and clean out of the corners... it must be the suspension when out on the proper stages, and maybe their engine is not as strong as they think.Quote:

Rantanen is also very fast
For his first NORF Sebastien Ogier would be 5th in junior with an C2R2 only.....
Aava near Sordo with same but little bit slower car ... very nice
Rautenbach 40 sec behind, says it all
Loeb is way faster now... 2,7secs on split 2
-3.0 for Seb in the 3š split...
Seb flying there. But game not over yet.
says more about jwrc than it does about ogierQuote:

for example Wilks in a similar car is 30s quicker than Ogier, and would be 0.4s off the lead of JWRC!Quote:

We should start placing bets.
Atkinson is doing slower stage times than Ava and Mikkelsen. Is that good? (if the car is no problem) I remember well that Atkinson did more competitive stage times in Finland in his first year - with very marginal experience. And even last year he was very close to top-pace. Atkinson should somewhere near to Hirvonen in terms of driver speed but that dog of car don't allow it.Quote:

all B teams faster than works subis and without problems for them :mad:
championship needs a third player but they can t manage it...pitty...
edit....1 second faster works subis from suzukis!!!!
as i said.. ogier performance is not 'that' impressive, its the lack of depth in jwrc. remember the good old days of jwrc... aava, wilks, pg, meeke, sordo?Quote:

Not to forget a great fight in the IRC on Madeira island.Quote:

I think that there is no problem:-) The most interesting rally in a year and the most boring F1 race a year at the same time. Hungary has always been like watching scheduled trains passing you.. no one is passing :-) Look the leaderboar at the moment after 23 minutes of racing and top eight is in 25 sek.Quote:
