It's maybe one and only shot he will be given, so why not. Everyone would go for it, no matter what car, bad or good, worst or best. In the past the title in lower categories proved nothing to top teams in the sports. Many people were overlooked. If there was justice in the world, then half of the grid wouldn't be there right now and those with pure talent would fight, not those with fat wallets and daddy connections.Quote:

Also, I must admit the fact that a win is no longer the win, so you don’t get the most points for it…don’t like it, imagine if in any other motorsport discipline, say Verstappen or Hamilton or Marquez would get less points than anyone who’s finished after them…Quote:

EA already announced that the 2024 season will come as DLC starting in October.Quote:

I admit however, that the value of being on the podium has decreased significantly and that is a bit sad. However, I would still prefer the new PS to the old one.Quote:

Favourite moment: as always the first night stages of Monte Carlo..brings jitters 😄 always as the long wait is finally over. Poland stages (at least those that went ahead) were also great.
The most standing out driver for me has to be Fourmaux. Did not expect such stability and speed from him considering his history. Nice to see.
The favorite moment? Martins Sesks' performance in Poland and Latvia. Nothing else compares.Quote:

For me, it is one of the most exciting season ever. I would compare it with 2018 and 2019. Everyone is so close to eachother and there are nice battles to follow, especially on Sunday..Quote:

Favorite moment for me is Thursday night in Monte Carlo and Neuville's outstanding performance here.
Fourmaux and Ford's reliability have to be the best suprise for us, I didn't expect them to bring so many podiums.

images we wish were taken at a wrc stage
F1 journalist Peter Windsor made a video about his run on the shakedown in Finland with Neuville.
He's quite good at analysing driving styles in circuit racing, and tries to dissect how they drive in rallying.
The guy likes to hear himself talk, but it could still be of interest to some.
