Chile didn't stole it's place on the calendar, great event, especially for the first time! Very strong performance from Tänak, and great battle between the Seb's today. Maybe Loeb could become interested in a fulltime comeback for next year? :)

Congrats to Tanak,clearly faster crew at Chile.
Congrats to Ogier for this result,Loeb has this thing to awake him.
Congrats to Maestro too. What can you say for this driver? So many years to compete at muddy terrain,he was lost with the car at shake and Friday,and managed to play with the current multiple champion for the second place.
hard work for Neuville now as he trails with 12 points to Ogier.
Tänak is so good it's starting to become annoying. In order to keep the championship fight live right until the end, the Yaris probably has to brake down a few times down the road. Having said that, it will still require an absolutely gallant effort to unseat Ogier.

Another lucky one, could have been ugly with spectators...Quote:

Reason for Toyota trailing in manu champ in numbers, not talking about causes:
Manu points per driver:
[Driver Manu points / rallies)]
Toyota
Meeke 38 /6 = 6,33 points/rally
Latvala 20 /6 = 3,33 points/rally
58 points total for Toyota 2/3 drivers
Tanak 91
-------
Hyundai
Mikkelsen 36 /5 = 7,2 points/rally
Loeb 27/4 = 6,75 points/rally
Sordo 20 /3 = 6,67 points/rally
83 points total for Hyundai 2/3 drivers
Neuville 95
==================
Can't really compare the numbers per driver with the 2 car teams as they don't take points from each other and only need to get back in rally2 to score points, this counts for both Ogier, Lappi and Suninen. Only Evans has all his points from finishing as fastest driver.
Citroen
Ogier 105
Lappi 38
Ford:
Evans 52
Suninen 36

(only site I know that lists manu points per driver)
I was very worried about this at end of last year and after Sweden, but then both in Mexico (understandable with road position), Corsica (vs Evans of all people) and Argentina he wasn't dominant.Quote:
