[WRC] Rally Catalunya

Loeb !!!

What on earth is he doing?

Unbelievable drive and time gain !!! Hats off old man, fantastic.

After the end of the season we should discuss more about Loeb in Hyundai.

Sometimes he seems to be like the usual unbelievable driver all we know that he is.
Some others he could not find the pace and was far away than we expected from him to be.

This car must have had many ups and downs in the feeling and confidence that provided to its driver, that even Loeb could not figure out easily.
In the last few months it seems that they manage to improve that and the car suits all the drivers better.

But now, Neuville is not the god that all we think he was before.
Because his teammates are much closer to him.
The Belgian is very, very, good, do not get me wrong, but I think this car only suited him in the past.

Very good day for Loubet!

It was "strange" last year when he came back after so long time and led a rally in his very first rally and won his 3rd.

With Hyundai he finally got to lead a rally on his 6th start. So it's more strange that it took him so long tbh.

Neuville started from 3rd on the road, let's not forget.

That's imo the biggest surprise of this rally so far.

Rovanperä said he didn't know where's the problem. He said he felt good but the times were not coming.

Wonderful from Loeb, no wonder Adamo seems so chuffed with himself. Hes managed his options brilliantly and Sordo and Loeb are delivering in spades so far. Will be interesting to see how things go on the tarmac, but Hyundai have been fast everywhere recently so I'd be shocked if they can be caught.

as i said ,if you dont manage to setup at your likes,(IF its possible mechanically) for your likes,you cant be fast.Not only you will not be fast,but prone to crash also.
And this applies for every driver.
