Normally there is no chance. The last stage is very short.Quote:

Anyway Danny had correct point calculations (I switched Pajari and Solberg points), so it does make some sense to try to push. But if he crashes it's basically over.
ohh, ture. he took less than 10 secs on the first passageQuote:

Here while the first puncture was likely bad luck he soft-crashed twice (Saturday and Sunday).
Apart from the drivers they already have or Fourmaux, even Sesks looks like a better idea as a part time driver for fast gravel.
It won't happen, but if the result stay as they are, then I would send Latvala home.. after his whining after Greece that everything is over with manus title and no way to catch Hyundai anymore..
At the moment Toyota is closing the gap almost by half..
E: seems like I was late haha :D

haha i will never understand why latvala said that in Hellas. Three rounds to go, only 35 points behindQuote:

Just now heard it's the last event for Janne Fern, sad to see him end his career with a DNF :(
Horrible driving from Gyrazin
ahh crap. sad for oli
well the dg sport (""citroen"" rally2 team) got the wrc2 team title
That felt like he tried to crash every second corner but somehow managed not to do that.Quote:

1-2 Secured for Rossel-Gryazin and team title for DG Sport in WRC-2
Greensmith 3rd, could have been 2nd but had a Big moment… Solberg only 4th in spite of his speed the last day … to be seen if Toksport tries to convince Greensmith to swap with Solberg now that the British has failed for 2nd position… could help Solberg in some configuration even if I think it won’t happen.
Ending with the timing error on Saturday is sad.Quote:

Fantastic job from Pajari!!
Well done Rovanperä and Pajari. Next season will be great for finns.
Chile should always be i the calendar. Congrats to Kalle and Jonne!
is Thierry champ already? Its only Ott now that can beat him if he wins everything and Thierry crashes in next both rounds?
Registered just to reply to this but my post disappeared somehow.Quote:

Also feel really bad for Solberg
Quite surprisingly there are 7 Rally1 cars in the top overall positions in an overseas rally.
One rally is 30 points. Anyone within 60 points still has a chance if he crashes out in both.Quote:

You're a bit off with the calculation :DQuote:

He is a professional sportsman and has nothing to do with the political situation. If we based those things on nationality, then Americans should never compete anywhere, since they mix the shit everywhere... It's the politics you should be mad at, not individuals. Sport is more like family than hating each other.Quote:

I see Lappi probably will not just quit driving. He will probably go the national route or ERC, like Paddon/Ostberg. I think he could convince some sponsors for a full season. And both are saying it's more relaxed than WRC. And Lappi says it's quite demanding being also a father. So why not.
I guess retirement is meant in a professional way, doing the odd rally for fun is normal.Quote:

Totally agree, but some people think that sport world is some kind of magical world where people don’t have to be responsible for crimes of their country and since they don’t have to be responsible and enjoy their career, they will leave their government do whatever it wants.Quote:

You have to find another forum for these talks.
First of all I highly disagree with you that sports are not "politics." We literally have country flags next to names. And.. olympics...Quote:

And last point is around people vs. politicians. russians support the war and that's why politicians act the way the do. Sure there's corruption and propaganda but if you met more than 5 russians in your life you will know what they support. Just ask gryazin. Or this sportswoman: https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarV...t/s/aFK9NpibjZ
WRC is a great international competition and this weekend showed it. But it's ignorant to think it exists in a vacuum from politics.
Sport is politics. It's ignorant to think it isn't. Sure getting into causes of the war is too much. But WRC doesn't exist in a vacuum. It's fair to discuss motor racing and implication on politics. Or other way aroundQuote:
