well if you are citroen, you try to get Lappi + Breen, then Ostberg + fundings for gravel events, and Loeb for Tarmac. That way you have a pretty decent lineup for half the money.
No point investing...

could we see a return of Hanninen as part time driver?! after all he did a good job developing the toyota...

for sure they will try, but it sounds that the money required to convince loeb of a full time return could be a lot more than Ogier's price tag imo.

fyi FX Demaison married Marie-Pierre Rossi (PR Citroen) this week end, with Peter Solberg and Marcus Gronholm as best men... Rallying is definitely a small world.

No one is as "special" as you

I'm surprised to see him on a Mercedes, i guess he has no links anymore with VW at all (Audi in dtm)?

No offense to Jourdan, but is it not a bit crazy to give this beast to a "not so experienced driver"? Rally is on a slow recovery with regards to general public acceptance, 1 major off with injuries...

Glad to read that Jari Matti got his confidence back. :)
Honestly i wonder how his wife is copping living...

Looking at the current spec wrc cars flying nose up really makes it looking like Groupe B era... or am i the only one seeing that?
especially the quattro compared to the fiesta, with the front wheel...

I know how little you value Toyota, but i wouldn't rule out the manufacturer yet... The hyundai is not the most reliable either (Mikkelsen), and toyota have some strong rallys comming (Finland my...

Hum it will be interesting at the end of the season, to see how Hyundai will manage in terms of championship in case of last rally decider.
What is more important for them, manufacturer or driver?...

to me it sounds like it is exactly the point of M-Sport continuing. Haven't they always been there season after season despite lower lineup (Ostberg Camilli for exemple wasn't the dream team)?...

so was Portugal 18' the turning point that will see a non french driver be World Champion after 14 years?

I guess it started as a fanboy indeed! Few years later it is one of the most respected website and everybody know Planetmarcus! Well done JB and keep the good work, always great to have your updates.

thanks!

am i correct that there hasn't been a 1-2 manufacturer finish in 2017 and so far in 2018?!

Latvala, 1 podium so far this season, behind both his teammates in the standing. All new Ogier approach at the beginning of the season, didn't work after 3 rallyes, now all in for victory, even worse...

Thanks, makes sense. WRC.com has Lappi before Latvala, confusing...

anyone knows the rule why Lappi is ranked above Latvala, and Ott above mikkelsen? or this is just random?

Sorry but can someone explain what does "closed road" means? I mean are not rally always on closed roads??

i don't know exactly where to post this but any pickems for the 2018 rounds?

Ok thanks, i've read that he got a coccyx fracture which normally is a lengthy recovery, but indeed already doing interview so let's see...

Anybody knows yet if Elena will be up and running alongside Loeb for the WRC events they have planned after the crash in dakar and injuries sustained?

Could it be that Ogier signed a lower deal than what he hoped knowing already something for 2019 (and having no other choices)? ie focus on keeping active for 2018 and have a go at the title but...

And to add, Neuville on the other hand turned out to be a crying baby and lost few fans in my opinion. Ogier remains the same, pressure or not. Neuville seems a lot more fragile...
