    It seems every driver needs time except two Sebs, they had speed straight from the box.

    That's seemingly true, but they both arrived on the WRC scene quite late (compared to Latvala, for example). Ogier is now 28, and Loeb didn't really win anything before that age.

    The problem of course is that similar sounding words mean different things in Finnish and Estonian. "T***, jääd hiljaks" (F*** it, you're late) -- "(Swear word), jäit hiljaiseksi" (F*** it, you're quiet).

    So I think A.F.F. can be forgiven.

    Not sure if it is what you're refering to but Loeb failed twice at the Peugeot Rallye Jeunes operation. According to the jury he was quick but not enough... consistent.
    Good for him he didn't give up then.

    About Tänak, he has to make very good use of a top rally car in a short period of time, while it lasts.

    he came to final twice,once he lost,and other time was winner,but decided to give the trophy to another competitor cause he started after dark.
