    Really disappointed with some peoples attitude on this rally. When an underdog does well on some rallies everyone supports them and is disappointed with the end result when it doesn't go well - Tanak and Mikkelson being the best examples. But I really really don't understand when someone like Paddon who has had many podiums this year, storms from 4th to second on one stage and then people say very negative things. "Expected more"

    Everyone has favourites I know but be objective people.

    Or maybe he should just be quiet and never tell his fans anything like "I will try really hard on this rally, or I really enjoy this day" as then people will not be upset if it doesn't go to plan. I for one like the fact that he tells us when he is trying. rather than blaming tyres....

    Very good! This was first real win for Andreas.. Must be great feeling for him! First two wins arrived on 25th hour of the day and were a bit unexpected and came after the fight was basically lost. Good work!
    And guys, remember, Ogier starts to make mistakes when there is real competition for him (hi do not want to loose, so, he then drives 110 % and then mistakes happen , so, this is good sign! we had competition!

    Very good, Andreas. He made Ogier crack and that's pretty rare.

    Solid job from Andreas that resulted in a well-deserved victory. Stupid mistake by Ogier that costed him the victory this time. Very poor performance from the self-believer Paddon who memorized one stage and that was everything.
    And fantastic for Neuville - 3rd in the event, 2nd in the PS and a vice-champion. I'm sure he must be the main title contender to Ogier next year, no matter if Andreas drives or not.
    Full highlight video here - did our best considering how much they restrict access. Ogier's lines were super aggressive, particularly on the second passes. Great drive by Mikkelsen, we thought Ogier had him going into Sunday.

    Really fine win by Mikkelsen, a proper well-earned victory.

    It should give him real confidence for next Season.

    Wow, some sensitive people. Since when did critique become illegal? Paddon himself expected more than fourth, so why couldn't we do that too?

    Molly Taylor wins the championship.
    She was 2nd initially but Mark Pedder takes a 1-minute penalty for check-in early

    We also want to see you more fieldoperative in taking control over us rallyfans. Could it be possible see you in action for example in Finland in 2017?
