The Yaris is a tank. All the other cars falling apart but Toyota just needs a power wash.

if he has a 120 points advantage, yes. but that means he needs to get another 50 points advantage in just 2 rallies.

unlikely, but considering the quality of hyundai not impossible.


as it is now:
Rovanpera 145
Neuville 75
Tanak 62
Katsuta 62
Breen 58
Evans 57

Really exciting rally. Toyota is too good atm for everyone else.

Dear lord... not to take anything away from Katsuta, but him being on par with Tanak and not far from Neuville tells everything.

And we thought Ogier stormed away with the championship back in 2013, I know there’s still 7 rounds to go after this one but this is an absolute masterclass by Kalle, sure the Hyundai’s are falling apart but he still needs to do his part to get his first championship, hats off to him. Do hope though, that Hyundai will show more resistance in the second half of the year.

Rovanperä's title win in Finland would be craaazy!

nothing impossible tho..

It is very weird to see. One would expect the toyota to be completely dominant when looking at rovanpera and katsuta, but then there's evans.

It's always hard to tell, but i feel that if tanak or neuville would also have been in the toyota, they would be right up there with kalle.

I can add the depute chief scrutineer to the list of organisers who I will class as not knowing the rules as well as I do :\\
Shouldn’t be possible at WRC level.

It's fair to comment when the cars are falling apart and crashing out. Then again, if you expect every rally to be 100% flat out attack - you would be confused.
