Latvala really did a good stage considering his road position. Wasn't far off from winning it.
Anyone who has counted the points yet in championship?;)
Nothing? I believe he got two points for that place.Quote:

Do You really believe cutting a chicane can win 1.6 seconds?Quote:

In Sweden Ogier had an excuse to try to get consolation PS points... here Rally2 Tanak was taking the piss.
Thanks Dim:)Quote:

Tanak and Neuville without comments at official site after the power stage
It wasn't because Ogier's tactics, it was against FIA trying to ban their own rules,Quote:

Hyundai 54 + 30 = 84
Ford 43 + 29 = 72
Citroen 46 + 25 = 71
Toyota 53 + 14 = 67
So Latvala is lead driver. Everybody was concerned but after 3 rallys he is ahead.
What a bad start for toyota though. I think it's a shame that they suffered the same problem as last year. Latvala and Tanak should be angry as Ogier was last year when Fiesta was having reliability problems.
Neuville got two points but Latvala went quicker from his actual start position. Which was one place before Thierry.Quote:

As for Latvala, he'll need a podium/win in Corsica and good luck for everyone ahead to stay low in the road order and go into Argentina with a smaller gap to the guys ahead.
Come on Eddie don't be that guy.Quote:

It's looking tough.
he is british he cannot help it, his diability always wins...Quote:

The competitors should not be blamed instead they should make rules that encourage competition and are not so simply exploitable.
IMO the solution should simply be to apply the penalty for checking in late to the stage time, just like the rally2 penalty is applied, instead of directly to the overall. It's a small and simple tweak that reaches it's goal without too many complications. Of course the FIA will instead make some complicated decision that affects too many other things, grab the popcorn...
Nah, here he actually had pace before the crash. No chance he is getting dropped before end of season. So plenty of rallies to prove himself.Quote:
