Neuville drove Autoglym rally in Finland and Østberg did Rally Hedemarken?

Back home after a great rally. Really nice event in a great social setting. Couple that with the gravel and tarmac you really do have the best of both worlds. Made up for Meeke. He crashed right in front of me in Germany on the SSS and honestly I didn't know how he was going to come back from that. As soon as it hit tarmac that C3 was absolutely on rails.

Big storylines, action and unpredictability in every event. The WRC really is in a great place right now.

I got my photos uploaded if anyone fancies a look: https://www.flickr.com/photos/949985...57686023586812

Rally RACC actually has a Sunday that's better than virtually all the other event; including a nice early start - 74km is a decent amount; far better than the 40-ish km quite a lot of events go for. If you have Sunday; then make it worthwhile.

you sad bastards. i believe Kris actually lived with McRae family, and without him he woundnt have a career. so fucking show some respect.

But it comes at the cost of the other days, friday and saturday was just three stages ran twice. And even them were run very quickly after each other, the wrc radio couldn't even interview all drivers before the first ones were already in the finish of the next one, it made the days kinda silly with a rush of stages and then lots of waiting.

For me this is another advantage. I can follow on PC for 2 hours then go (out) and do something else for a few hours I instead of 30 min breaks between all the time.

yeh, there's two sides to this. But I'd just love to have a proper rally following day, I usually just put on the WRC radio and do other things meanwhile. When the stages overlap, it's hard to follow the WRC2 guys or even the rest of the WRC cars.
