[WRC] News & Rumours 2018

I voted for Loeb and his comeback to the the stars right away and shit all others in the pants despite not driving much that C3.

If he was good enough to win it last season then it's a no brainer this season as well.

I think this year serves as a perfect example of a season when the fastest one - by far - doesn't win the title (pending something unthinkable happens in Australia).

Dumb that there is no WRC2 drivers there. Jan Kopecky won his first WRC2 title with 5 wins out of 6 and even has 17 WRC points. Kalle also had a pretty spectacular season.
For me the driver of the year is still Tanak but both Jan and Kalle deserved to be in the selection IMO.

Remember 1992?

Define "fastest one".

[Allez Andruet]

Define "fastest one".

How's "Ott Tänak" for a definition?

The quickest and relatively reliable indicator is the number of stage wins. It's not perfect, mainly due to road cleaning effects, but it's also better now when drivers don't know splits.
