    Ok the Hyundai isn't the fastest and yes, they are building an R5 car but calling him a WRC 2 driver is a tad much.

    Maybe you were ironic since vw is a class of their own.
    I was, mate

    I felt sorry for him when I saw this. It hurts a bit to be honest. Cheering your rival when he has beaten you another time.


    You are right it is a heavy burden but I don't know if it is a good idea to leave that car away.

    What a boring rally and what a dissapointing performances from the guys i looked most for, Paddon and Tänak. Yeah they both don't have the experience and struggled with set-up, which counts a lot here but they didn't even try to push. Didn't expect to see stage wins from them but expected to see at least TOP 4-6 stage times and some development.
    The new Fiesta doesn't seem to be very good on tarmac, you could already see it on super special stages on other rallies and Kubica also said that the car isn't doing what he wants to do.

    Waiting for Australia already where Paddon promised to go for a win

    Paddon had some turbo pressure issues at some point. But we shouldn't had expected podium from him anyway. This year it all went to VW and it was well deserved. Big congrats to all of them.
    I don't agree the rally was boring, it was really fast rally with some fights and looking at the coverages it was really nice event. Of course it is little boring for most people Ogier to win almost every time, but that's the challenge currently. And seems no one is capable to take away his crown yet, perhaps for several more years to come.

    I think Adam did have a huge advantage of Michelin tyres vs Fiesta road legal Dmacks.
    Why we don´t see Adam more on private drivers as it have been around over 2 years?

    I would like to see national Adam cup rallies supported by the factory and national importer. Should be a boost for youngsters.
