Late to he party as usual. Congrats Tänak to his first victory! Well deserved after so many attempts.
Good tipping- were there some who bet against?

Very enjoyable rally, loads of dramas and action. The result is also very good for the championship, all to play for still.
Miserable rally for Citroën again, I'd feel very awkward if I was Matton. At least Linda Jackson might find the result amazing.
No images from last Paddon crash?
She probably hopes Citroen will "Do even better on the next round" again.Quote:

Well he is 38 due next month so....they really need to start thinking beyond next year if they want to stand any chance...get rid of Lefebvre and find another Esappeka.Quote:

This would all be true, if Mikkelson wiped the the floor with Meeke. Lappi appears the real deal, but he wouldnt be able to do anything in that current citroen.Quote:

No I can't unfortunately, they are in a pickle....perhaps they need to make sure Kalle Rovanpera reaches them before anyone else.Quote:

Get lost, he is a 16 year old kid. Him entering the WRC is still ages away.Quote:

Yes, but look at the average age of WRC drivers. It is so much based on experience. It's not like F1 where kids like Verstappen can walk in and do a job straight away. Lappi is 26 and is considered very young. Suninen will make his WRC debut in Poland at the age of 23 and he only gets two drives this year. He'll spend the next few years predominantly in WRC2 too unless he comes in and does a surprise monster job.Quote:

Would be very extreme. Risky to give a young kid so much pressure. Thinking of Max Verstappen, but for circuit racing the tracks remain the same for each place, in the WRC every km is unique and Kalle still needs a lot of time.Quote:

It's not a case where team managers were waiting until drivers hit 25 before hiring them.Quote:

Just under 5 months to be exact, are there any other country than Wales where you can drive at 17 in the calendar btw?Quote:

I went to Sardinia, but returned this morning already, so saw shakedown, show stage, friday and saturday. Very nice event, as always. Didn't take much pictures, but I'll try to link a small album tomorrow, together with some brief review.

Photo of Sordo on SS Coiluna 2, very impressive how much he was still attacking even with a rear-left puncture.
It's actually just over 4 months ;) and atleast Australia, maybe south american rallies? and he can do Rally Finland in 2018 since he is getting finnish driving license this octoberQuote:

I did not get it and I am a person that stands behind my words. The situation is this; I am in the middle of the season and have never been so close to the championship leader, even if I am in forth position. I would not really want to stop now when things are looking good. I must apologise for my words but you have to understand that there is lots of passion for this sport and I want to do well so this is why I was a bit frustrated. Sorry about that

They're quite in-place for the next 2 rallies with their famous hit "Aerials", aren't they?Quote:
