Good day! Did 5 stages, some really good, some less good ;)
I think it's going to be Mikkelsen. His turn now.Quote:

Tanak. Well done sir!
Amazing stuff! Close fights at every category: WRC, WRC2, JWRC and even DMack cup!
Outstanding performance from Tanak (well done DMack) and its great to see that WRC manus are nowadays really matched. VW isnt the dominant force it used to be; Hyundais clearly on their pace and even Ford (like Citroen with Meeke) is showing they can fight for the win with a top driver at the wheel. Fantastic!
why do you expecting faster times? because he was fast with Adam? Would you expect also Griebel and Ingram to be fast with r5 cars against Tidemand Lappi and Sunninen?Quote:

No more excuses for slow fiestas,stopped development,and not works team that lucks money.

Of course not but he has done rallies in sweden in an old group N Mitsubishi and he has done seriously good times...
He was also fast from the get go at his prize drive in the ERC, but maybe it is like NOT impolitely suggests, that the level is worse.
Maybe the level of the ERC and swedish national rallying is that shitty after all.
we call them slow compared to the competition... we do not compare them to yourself.Quote:

nice pace from Tanak,i was expecting to be fast at Poland,but not so fast! For sure dmacks evolute,and thats only good.Ok not a high temp rally,but its a start.
Malcolm maybe he had ''use'' with wrong manner Ott.
You have people of pure genius like Ogier and Loeb that are fast from the get go...
Camili could maybe be in that category of drivers as well if he continue to develop in the same way.
...and for Bergkvist to count himself to that category he needs to up his pace or he will be another Østberg
Breen after ss

Unfortunately probably just a matter of time until something goes horribly wrong.
Thanks, I was reffering to Lappi's comment that Pontus likely hit a bank in a tight junction (which is a also a possible reason for ball joint failure).Quote:

But if he is going to deliver, he has somethings in his driving he needs to work on - but definetly a talent (and yes, his showing in an R2 is very relevant for his driving in an R5 or even a WRC car, ref Ogier and Loeb.)
thats what i said exactly.I dont have expectations because he won with Adam. And that is honest.Quote:

In some things quite "funny" order for second leg - http://rally-base.com/2016/pzm-rally...TimeTypeId=679
Tanak's second passing of his stage was mental. The furthest and even further the second time! The crown went wild!!!!!

He could have asked all the experts here.:angel:
Ostberg: 'Can't push harder, have to find other solutions. Making some changes to the car that we hope will pay off tomorrow! '
Thought they had sorted it in Sardinia... now what ?
Also, arent M-Sport engineers running Tanak's car with DMack.. so whats the difference...
Great videos.. Poland doesn't disappoint. :cool:Quote:
