However, being a rallyfan since the 60´s for sure there has been dirty tricks.
But - today we find it done openly and more aggresive than I ever seen before. And that development is not good. Also ruins the spirit of sportmanship I always thought rallying was.
Remember like father like sons, meaning cheating and dodging might become even more aggresive on National basis, affecting the group of amateur drivers still wanting to follow the rules...
I don´t know. Maybe a bit naive."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

Adamo:
"For sure, he has seen something, let me use the word 'aggressive', in terms of approach from Hyundai.
"We did it twice and this would make him nervous.
"We did not do this to make him nervous, we did this to help Thierry against the other."

My opinion is that this situation is just sad.
Where are the rally spirit and principles?
They're not in alleged leaks about a team principal making one of his guy deliberately stop in the stage to put more sand on a rival, they're not in drivers denouncing such things if they are not 100% true.
They're not in a team principal whining about another team making some rally outside the WRC.
Rallyper is right. It might be naive but these kind of controversies, even if are always been there, are not what I learnt rally was about. If they have to argue about rules all the time, putting more effort on trying to exploit them or whine about opponents rather then work on cars, driving techniques, challenges, mechanics, sweating on the last tenth of a second possibile then they can all fuck off.
Sorry for the language but that's what I genuinely think about this.
