i tell you what will happen. Tanak will be leading at sunday, neuville second and ogier third. Who will arrive ahaed at ps from ogier and neuville will be world champion. Ogier will go off into a tree, three minutes later neuville will do the same at the same corner because he will be disturbed by ogier car. Tanak will arrive, take 5 points and become wdc.
If this happen i want a crate of vana tallin directly at my home before christmas.

I know most people (including me) are looking forward to close fight all weekend, but it might as well end with 2 drivers having random technical issue in first 2 stages....

It might do, but hey, that's motorsport - Ogier could have retired in Spain on the last stage and it wouldn't be this close. Sport is all about "what ifs" but we'll remember "what happened".

Neuville: I still have upper hand in '18 WRC title fight over Ogier

"I think there needs to be some design work as well as just set-ups," said Neuville, who last won in Sardinia in June.

Weather stuff:

Could be rainy on Friday

Dry on Saturday but raining over the stages on Friday
https://www.yr.no/place/Australia/Ne...ille/long.html
https://www.yr.no/place/Australia/Ne...unga/long.html

Sunday stages are located at the same area as Friday, could rain then as well.

Obviously it's still a week to the rally, the forecasts could still change but would be interesting on rainy conditions...

The weather reports in NSW are a big joke to be honest. It rarely rains for more than an hour this time of year. This is the kind of weather that can really screw over people because it pours crazy hard for an hour then its sunny and hot. If you're on stage when it starts to hamma down (as we they say in straya) then you are in trouble.

But for us mere mortals it just adds to the crazy season. Already excited for 2019 and 2018 isnt even over.

If the turnout in AUS for spectators is weak it says a lot about the Coffs Harbour location.
