Rally Wrc Monte Carlo 2017

I'm going to have to read through all the pages of this thread but in saying that...

My first Monte Carlo and boy was it an experience! The atmosphere, the new cars, the stages, the conditions and just the feeling of being there! Amazing. Shall share some images if you haven't seen them already.

Btw wait untill Sweden and we could see better performance, less learning.

@AL14 I know your mailbox.

Agreed, but the DS3 is way more difficult to set up and drive on both Snow/Ice and Gravel compared to the Ford and Skoda. So comparison of the drivers are harder with so different cars.
The 208 is slightly better on the loose, but a long way from the two topcars in R5.

Over the last couple of years I've practised my data wrangling and data visualisation skills by tinkering with F1 data, and only ever really watched the Wales Rally on a regular basis. Having noticed some regular coverage of WRC on Red Bull TV this year, I thought I'd give WRC data a go... Here's a first sketch - stage by stage results from RC1:

His bad times were on studded. The other runners were also on similar (Michelin) tires, so his epic timeloss was fair and square.

#logic

Now again in even simpler language: If one tire type from DMACK can be much worse, then other can also be much better. Remember Pirelli? On dry tarmac 0.5s/km slower, on wet tarmac 1s/km faster.

I know his slow times were on studded tyres... but DMack studded tyres. Thats why he was so slow, not because he's a bad driver.

Once he was on their soft tyres on tarmac his times were good/ great.

We had the same situation with Tanak on DMack's last year. Whenever he was slow it was the tyres fault - nobody blamed him. So why blame Evans now ?

AUTOSPORT:
"Elfyn Evans spent Friday running among the WRC2 cars as the DMACK tyres struggled for grip on the ice.
But as conditions improved, the rubber came alive and three stage wins on Saturday allowed him back through to an eventual sixth place."
