This week would be a good time to rewatch Rally Australia 2011 highlights and think about comparisons to Rally Turkey 2018. Very different road surfaces but many commonalities. Both events were 10th event out of a 13 event season. Points gaps between top 3 drivers when rally started were identical and the similarities are just starting.
Apparently, not an easy DTM experience for Ogier: last on the grid for both races; P13 in race 1 (16 finishers) and P17 in race 2 (17 finishers).

Considering his lack of experience, and how tricky DTM cars are, I thought he did okay. I don't think he had a good set up - as he was making constant adjustments to his steering & throttle inputs ;he was nowhere near as smooth as the regulars - which is understandable. And his windscreen got covered in fluid in the 2nd race.....
Good points. Raw data can’t tell the whole story and behind the handicaps you’ve mentioned is also fair to say he was fighting against top racing drivers (including some ex F1 or WEC).
Btw, after seeing Auto Hebdo cover I got curious about the LM Hydrogen car for 2024; here’s a glimpse of ACO’s ‘exciting’ concept for LM/WEC future: https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses...79017557557248 (note, the video is in normal speed…).
Guys, can anyone explain to me how do they decide starting order in WRC this year? I'm quite new to it, and somehow couldn't find the answer yet :( It is not by the Shakedown results anymore, is it?
1st day: championship points order
2nd and 3rd day: reversed order to the current overall positions. Rally2 after them.
Power stage: first rally2, then overall positions reversed
Next year Rally2 runners will star first 2nd and 3rd day
