Ogier The Monte Maestro. Awesome again.
Ogier takes no prisoners.
Ogier the Monte king :champion:
if the season goes like that, Ogier won't retire after this season :D He is Monte King!
Solberg stopped.
Where is Solberg?
Bravo Ogier Ingrassia,just destroyed everybody,they were a class above this weekend!
Ogier : 25 + 5 = 30
Evans : 18 + 3 = 21
Neuville : 15 + 2 = 17
Rovanperä : 12 + 4 = 16
Toyota : 25 + 18 + 5 + 4 = 52
Huyndai : 15 + 12 + 3 + 2 = 32
Grazin missed it with 0.8sec and Solberg probably overcooked it (stopped).Quote:

Latvala finally won Monte

Well. Ogier is the King. At least for now. Big congrats to him and Ingrassia. Now, let´s head to Arctic Rally Finland...
yes, I wish him very much :rotflmao:
With manu PS points the differences get kind of big 52 - 30.
Toyota: 25 + 18 + 5 + 4 = 52Quote:

That means they do not skip third car for Power Stage points. Evans did not score those 3 but Hyundai couldn't take them.
Top drive from Ogier that, real class. In that form, very difficult to beat for anyone.Quote:

Solberg got stuck in a snowbank. No spectators to help. Car is ok. (From Twitter)
Guess he learnt a lot this weekend.
Shout out to Grayzin for his performance today, very impressive.
Yes, and decision not to nominate for WRC2 points was the correct one!Quote:

If Tänak runs on three wheels again this season, they have to sit out one rally. Also warning for any other crews planning to do the same...
Good idea imo. Trying to get to service with punctured tire is very much trying going against the spirit of the rules.Quote:

Not the spirit, the 'actual' rules.....Quote:

Still not liking the "pressure/hype" some people and sometimes seemingly also him is putting on himself. Imo it leads to "overpush" which seemed to be the case on at least 3 stages this weekend.
Like I said earlier.... why can’t they use a wheel and tyre from a teammate? Road section only.Quote:

I think you're reading into the hype affecting him. Just finding the limits of himself and the new car.Quote:

Now I´m guessing: In the PS they let him go flat out. No limitation at all. Just let him get the feeling of trying hard. This time ended stuck in a snowbank. With spectators on site this maybe only would´ve gor 10-30 secs loss. So still learnt a lot even on PS.Quote:

Because far majority of entrants are singe car teams. That would create uneven conditions.Quote:

And I think that crew has dedicated tires so one cannot mix between other crews tires (Im not sure is it so strick with rally, but example in F1 there are). (probably to stop team having a "spare" car witch would only drive saving tires/parts, and the giving those "new" tires to the top crew for the next stage).Quote:

If the same crew have punctured the spare wheel before, they are out of the rally.
They are not allowed to limp back to the depot, since then in much smaller speeds, it is seen as unsafe.
This is not logical for the best drivers in the world.
How can this be fixed, so we dont loose drivers in a rally on a technicallity?
I get all the above objections, but I just can't see past Tanak being able to stay in the event.
So what if privateers can't do it, right now the championship is desperate for as many works drivers as possible.
If they are heading back to service, is time really THAT tight so a team mate couldn't wait a few minutes for the driver?
It's OK saying it's not in the rules, but can't see how it could disadvantage the championship in any way whatsoever if they changed the rules to allow.
Yes about same "hype". It also got Kalle at one point IMO, when all he had to do was to collect the "obvious" WRC2 title and started off by crashing in first 3? rallies. He got back after, but things like that are not guaranteed.Quote:

"Best drivers in the world" are not magicians. If a driver drives on one rim and there is some emergency...say schoolbus coming out of control and crossing to opposite side of the road will they be able to react as fast as a normal car with 4 tires? I doubt that.Quote:

The main issue is that driving on three wheels is simply illegal per traffic rules. The rally is not more than the law.Quote:
