Suninen 6,3s faster than Mikkelsen

Gap before Sunday 10,6s

Quite a big moment for Greensmith at 2:40 in SS10

But your tight arse team don't want to pay drivers. So it's a mute point.

At this rate might as well put 40-oddyr old Meeke in the car in Finland because he'd at least challenge/bring excitement (then bin it), but Breen can't even stay on the road anyway so....

Fourmaux and Greensmith paying /bringing sponsorship has them locked in. The Goat unfortunately can't do more events.


If they were serious...,Malcolm/Msport/Ford +any sponsor as a combination, would go to one of Tanak/Neuville and say "we will buy you out your contract and pay you". We all know Tanak and Neuville are close to breaking point at Hyundai....

I would say that better in fast gravel rallies than Neuville. And better in asphalt rallies than Tänak. Or at least the same level. Based on last year performances in the same car.

Maybe because the season as a whole is a complete joke. I would never complain when a driver goes all loeb/ogier esque like Kalle has done, but the problem is we know Tanak and Neuville have their hands tied behind their back due to Hyundai acting like a "village team". It's not a fair fight. Evans is the disaster of the season as he's bottled it in the same car as Kalle.

Fords win the SSS again. Pity that's all.

Change the record... the very top drivers were/ are under contact and anyway without Ford backing M-Sport cant afford them.

Agreed. I was never really bored with Loeb's seasons of domination, as Citroen was never much faster than Ford. Ogier's VW days were a bit boring, not going to lie. But this season is a joke that's not even funny, such is the difference among the cars. And we can't even have a fight between the Toyotas because Evans hasn't got what it takes. I keep watching just because I love rallying.

Nothing to do with Rally GB/UK. And the former not having to do with much and much of the latter is universal.

To those who say the season is boring I can recommend try to go to stages and watch the driving - it's amazing. The driving will always be amazing from the top dogs. This time around the top3 is visibly better than the rest and occasionally Breen and Lappi are very close to awesome as well.

Re about Kalle's domination - this guy is a robot. Amazing to see the driving and how effortlessly the car is being handled with such a pace. That's never boring!
