IMHO Citroen is not so much clear failure as Skoda and Seat were in their days, Citroen has shown us glimpses of speed. But obviously their driver lineup is weakest at the moment. Lets see if Loeb can show us something and if he can post top times again, then this may convince Ogier to give it a try, as currently it doesnt seem that Ford is just quick enough for him to enable to Ogier fight back Tänak and Neuville.
Edit: due to lack of sleep or sheer stupidity i thought for a moment that Mikkelsen is driving Citroen. Deleted that foolishness...Last edited by Indreq; 19th August 2018 at 13:59.

Think this event has been beaten to death by now.
For rest of season each team has a rally where they stuggled last year and the unknown of turkey.
(Toyota struggled in GB. Hyundai in Spain and MSport in Australia.)

But GB should be dryer this year...although this year the climate has been pretty different. Didn`t they also make modifications that would prevent this mud-collecting?
Hyundai promised changes for Spain, will see. If it`s stronger, then they should be fine.
M-Sport had a so-so rally in Australia, with Tänak being up there all the time and titles secured previously in GB.Last edited by Tarmop; 19th August 2018 at 14:15.

Tanak seemingly peaked in 2012 after which he got fired...
Latvala seemed like a guy to fire at end of 2016 and fought for championship in 2017.
Mikkelsen is very much like Burns. Doesn't typically push the 1% extra to win stages but is in top 3 on all stages when he is fast. I am not sure if he has potential to win championship. But he is without question among the top 6 best drivers atm.

IMHO, Turkey could be the decider as the crews will tackle the event for the very first time so it will be a level playing field. Tanak will have a hard time catching the top two, although all he needs is for one of them to DNF. Hopefully Paddon can scrape some of his speed back & Breen will get some consistency, they have 4 weeks to prepare & I really hope that for both their sakes, their fortunes will improve.
As for the three remaining rounds after that it's anyone's guess. Must say that this is one of the most interesting championships I've seen since Marcus Gronholm & Sébastien Loeb fought back in 2007, and to add a little spice, we have a really tight manufacturer title being chased by three teams.Only you know your true potential.
This year we rally #ForCraig

The reality is Mikkelsen, while quick, has only ever won a single rally on pure pace (Aus 2016), inheriting his other wins. Almost every single time he's been in the lead, he's made mistakes. Regardless of his speed, he cracks under pressure from behind during rallies, every single time (re Germany 2017, and I think Australia 2017 too).

After winning of Kopecky in Deutschland, his chances with Pontus to WRC2 title are equal. I hope that everything will goes according to previous plans and both drivers will fight each other in Turkey.

With all bad talking about Mikk. He si currently lying 5th, That's better than Latvala, Evans and Breen (I exclude half seasoners). That's not bad at all.
