[WRC] Tet Rally Latvia 2024

Feels like Ogier has a realistic shot at the title, depending on how Finland goes. If he outscores the rest again, it's on. He will take part in CER and Japan, where he could be considered a favourite for victory and at least one of Greece and Chile with a favourable starting position.

Im afraid that some technical issue in Greece will decide the title.

I have that feeling as well. Hyundai has been surprisingly reliable this year. No major technical issue for Tanak, apart from gremlins, and only 1 for Neuville (broken fuel pump in Safari). I think if Neuville or Tanak get one technical DNF more than the other, that will be decisive. I don't even count Evans and Ogier in this, since they drive the tank Toyota, they just need to be fast to win the title.
Of course, there's driver mistakes as well.

So between the top 3 since 2022: Evans won on tarmac twice, both times last year in Croatia & Japan; Ott only has won win in Ypres back in 2022 & Thierry has won 3 times, in Japan ‘22, CER last year and Monte-Carlo his latest win so effectively has the upper hand in those last two events…assuming he doesn’t lose more than say 25 points in the next 3 events, it’s his to lose. Mind you, Evans has yet to win this year while both Ott & Thierry have one win a piece….2024 will go down to the wire imho, especially with this complicated scoring system, I honestly hope they sort it out for next year so that at the base of it the one who finishes first still gets the most points.

man, that was a fun rally to watch. sesks made it awesome. hoping for a good performance for pajari too in the next round.
ahh soo refreshing

It seems Thierry has a different and more sensible approach this year. Compared to previous years he has been a lot more stable and has made much less mistakes. Usually the speed and driving has seemed a lot of times to be over the limit and then things started to happen.

Lets see, if he can keep it going this way till the end. Otherwise I agree with previous comments. Thierry will be the favorite for the last two events.
