    Could be. Either way the article is crap, and comparing Ogier who's second in the standings to Latvala and Meeke who were under the top 5 doesn't make too much sense to me.

    What a douche.. That makes him nothing but a crying baby. Neuville have consistent season so far and now he says that he have so much luck. What about him for the past 5 years? Especially last year with his speed he was nowhere and still win the title.

    There is not a single word in that article worth getting worked up about. Finland is nearly here don't worry.

    Re Smeets comments and the future cars..

    The current WRC cars arent sustainable financially in the long-term anyway. To get an idea, I just heard on a rally podcast that Mads Ostberg spent £0.5 million doing Rally Finland last year !!!

    And we know Citroen are already struggling for budget.

    However hybrid/ electric cars could be even more expensive. Plus less spectacular and less reliable.

    The future of WRC is a big worry.

    It'd be interesting to know the workings behind that number.

    We currently have super-expensive, mega-fast, great-sounding, radical-looking WRC cars and live streaming of every stage in 2018.

    But I fear the WRC future has none of these things.

    The moral to this situation must be 'Enjoy it while you can'...

    Actually except the sound part, others are not in danger. For sure the sound is no better than Gr.B car, well at least some of them, so not much to lose anyway.

    I think we could be heading for the kind of change like when Group B got banned and the cars went to the slower, quieter, weedier-looking, Group A cars.

    It took a long time (maybe never) to get back the popularity.

    If so why will a manufacturer want to be part of such a series, especially if its also more expensive ?
