2008 Rallye Deutschland - official thread

Seems Petter is finding his old asphalt form. Funnily last year Chris crushed Petter and now its other way around.

It's the 3rd time Meeke participates in this rally, he has therefore more experience. However Chris is a gifted driver who can be used as a reference for Ogier. To compare the driver between them is without interest; only honours lists can be compared, and for it let us wait that them respective careers are ended.
When we look objectively at what makes Ogier this year, it is nice job.
And the performances of Meeke are of a very good level and if he doesn't have steering wheel in WRC it is not indeed his driving, which is reason.
Congratulations to these 2 drivers which for Ogier is there to earn the junior championship. And Meeke which is there to show that he's already a competitive driver.

Agree largely with you. It's still good that Meeke puts some overhype into perspective. Many people were already moving Ogier to WRC for next year.

In my view two driver in the world who would be readiest to deliver with wrc are Meeke and Hänninen.

I am disappointed with Aktinson, I expected much much more.

What happened to Hirvo by the end of SS14 :confused:

flat

It's funny to notice that in some stages Meeke's difference to Suzuki drivers is slimmer than Suzuki drivers difference to leading cars! That tells something about Suzuki's level (and by little part about their drivers level).

Also isn't Meeke's Clio down about 30bhp on the C2 S1600

Next year is the important year to do events and result with WRC cars, if in 2010 comes new teams there will be many seats avilable, if Hänninen and Meeke are serious they will be there and compete for seats.

True. Was Suzuki test programme stopped? or was that just a rumour. Monstor Tajami is being noticed by his absence. The programme is going nowhere, its pointless pursing this in 2009, no matter who the driver are. PG has lost his way a bit.

Meeke Clio is a 2005 spec, according to British press.
