Also no Huttunen on the list, who actually won the WRC3 even with one less start than Solberg.

It's not so bad. Except Neuville at 6th and Clark wanting til put hun even lower.

Hard to judge Breen on two rallies, but if you take into account starts outside of WRC he should be on the list.
...

Are you counting Monte as outside of France when all stages are in France?

Anyway I agree he would deserve it more than Munster, even though his Hungary start was a disaster.

I admit I actually forgot Sweden 2019. Was thinking mostly about 2018 Sweden, 2019 Finland and Sweden this year. Sure MSport has been falling behind lately but that doesn't fully explain that he is...

Watched the 2020 Season review on WRC (50 min) and while it was good it was (understandably focused) on how "everyone did great".
While I agree that all of the main drivers (5 Hyundai +3 Toyota+2...

NASCAR is also a test of driving, yet it's not exactly same driving as a rally stage.

Length is not a problem. The "character" of the stages is. Historically:

- zero height changes and close to zero surface changes
- large part of "corners" is made up from cones and similar with...

Sadly Loeb's run at Hyundai has been quite a big disappointment. Especially after the rallies in C3 where he had top 3 speed in all 3 rallies, led 2 and won 1.
As was recorded here, quite many...

I thought the main reason for Monza was that they could easily lock it from the public. Would be harder on the roads around Lago di Como but maybe not impossible sinc it's so narrow and steep...

While you are right that there is quite a difference in marketing potential electric turbos are now used in some production Audis.

Just no...

While it's a nice show event, it's definitely not a rally that should decide any titles. Lately half of the positions in top 10 get decided by who gets more or less penalties for...

In the ever repeating discussion about listening to current teams vs planning for the future I have to side with the future prospects.

Current teams will favor a solution which is cheapest to them...

I think some of you are nuts.

The only two guys that have so far been able to drive i20 WRC reliably fast on tarmac are Neuville and Sordo (even in rainy/muddy conditions).
Loeb has done ok when...

Surely you don't mean he should replace Sordo on tarmac in the main team? Sordo is proven fast and stable on tarmac in it and they also have Loeb, who is not comfortable in the car on tarmac, but...

That's somehow weird statement.

He was signed for 6 events no? Is the good news supposed to be that he is starting some/most of them? Isn't that kind of expected?
For sure it doesn't look like...

So they pay or he gets a very good price cause the car failed?

D. Evans talks about Evans fighting or going to fight for the championship for the last 3 years or so... every time Evans does a good result. But so far that typically happens 1-2 times a year. So...

It's just a continuation of last years tradition of using (other) rallies to get around testing day limits.

Policy of Even is that they don't pay for drives. Which is why Tidemand left them at the end of last season. So your logic is backwards. On top of that Mikkelsen has enough own money to pay himself,...

Check out the news about Breen on WRC site:

Adamo just confirmed (again) what I wrote in the Hyundai thread.

He decided he trusts Breen so he gets picked over Mikkelsen even when in both outings on same rallies last year he was slower and...

FIA updated the homologation list:

Sadly this is press-release level of information, much like most info coming out when he was at Toyota.



How does that explain Loeb being the slowest WRC on tarmac on the last rally while...

Looks like it was just his speculation since nothing happened. Hopefully we'll at least get the Monte entry list before the autosport show.
