What? :o Anybody got a confirmation for this?

Stewards Communication No. 4:

"The stewards authorise the opening of parc fermé for all cars except the cars still in final scrutineering and car No. 4."

So Sordo's car got something wrong?

I was remarking on the hugely impressive pace with an R5 car, but nevermind.

You didn't answer the question anyhow.

No its not so easy jan.

Everything is relative..I was making a perhaps too subtle sarcasm at the space-technology laden, unimaginably sophisticated cars costing sums that make the cars unattainable for all but a few people with truckloads, literally millions, to spend.

In other words without the millions*, no car and crew and mountain of parts, without that, nothing.













* key part of talent

This WRC, not ERC.

Second sentence was your answer. If PT would win last day overall, for sure everyone on this forum should clearly point out to me, some or many extra ordinary circumstances why it happened, so I would never state anything about third day results only.

Still it's the talent what wins and matters. Don't You agree that Ogier with the same car as Latvala and Mikkelsen is very much superior to them even though he never ever bought any place in any team unlike his two team colleagues? In fact he was picked from a national one make cup run with slow and cheap cars. Similar story with Loeb...

Also what is so hi-tech on purelly mechanical 4WD without center diff? It's some nice 80' tech level there. Engines and dampers are of course different thing but the cars definitely don't drive themselves.

or perhaps because Sordo was standing (not on the ruts at the beginning of the PS unlike everybody else) and they think it's given him an advantage...

It is quite equal for the vice-champion indeed.
The funny thing is that even when Ogier is not winning almost every Rally, he is still twice the points ahead. Go figure.....

Is there a better proof that talent wins over wallet?
