Very, very legitimate comments. Both Meeke and Ogier has slower cars than the Hyundai, this we all agree on. Meanwhile Ogier has not won a single rally from the front this season. He has inherited wins from other's mistakes. Ogier is a smart guy who knows to bring maximum points everywhere he can, and to do that he needs to finish. Very simple!

Meeke is the exact opposite. He is a complete idiot who tries to win every stage of every rally always. He doesn't play the long game at all, ever. As a result, he is overdriving a car that can't handle the pace and things happen, just like it did for Tänak today. The difference is that Tänak can afford the risk, while Meeke is second to last in the championship of the regular manufacturer entries despite winning one event.

That says a few things about his performance this year.

I've seen news of that throughout the day but not a source.

It obvious that they have a traction problem when reduced grip (loose surface or wet and slippery). When there is grip, the car is quick enough, if then its not compromised by high speed compression of the dampers.

If citroen was smart, they'd stay behind and check where they had pace and where they didn't compared to the others and then go and very seriously check the roads on those stages. That would give them valuable data on what to improve.

I very much doubt the torque split would have been changed to more than 50 percent front and suspect they must have meant more front than it used to be.
On the other hand if the statement above is correct, it would represent swinging from one extreme to another.

Exactly. It makes no sense at all. At least for me.

To me, this is where it is clear the techical team has carried across to much from WTCC program.... where 1.. no slip.. diffs are fully loaded 2.. they dont have any high speed compression damping 3.. its then no coincidence car leads a fully tarmac rally with ease.

I comeback from rally of Poland few hours ago.
I look at the brake point after long straightway and guess who brake latest?
1.Mikkelsen 2.Lefevbre 3.Latvala 4.Ogier 5.Neuville......
But Second case is entry speed (speed after strightway)
1.Neuville 2.Tanak Ogier 3.Latvala 4........
Citroen`s cars are in other league if we talk about speed.......sorry but I see on my eyes....
I run on rallies about 20 years.....

So wait you guys, are we going to see Breen for the rest of the 5 rallies this year? (or in other words is Lefebvre dropped for Germany and not Craig?)
