No big surprises there.

nobody predicted those stupid things you mention...

quick search just for picks:

Ogier & Lappi:

4. Ogier and Lappi to struggle a little bit in the beginning of the season, Lappi outdriving Ogier because the car suits him better. But after the updates Ogier is unbeatable and wins all the tarmac rallies.

Thats not what he said. He loved it at M-Sport and only left because Ford wouldnt pay to develop the car.

Ogier now values Titles.

So why has he gone to the worst car then?

Loeb:
(many more on Loeb cause I posted this once before)

If Loeb joins Hyundai is the "death" of Neuville's Hyundai carreer.

When Loeb has won the first two rounds he might start to have second thoughts about driving only 6 rounds. And probably it is not an issue for Hyundai to have even 4 cars per rally.

Goodbye Newville, Goodbye dreams ...
Run at M-Sport while there's room ...
Loeb has never been a team player, he's greedy ...

He is the maestro, but it is not going to be a walk in the park for him...especially taking two in a row. If he is a podium contender on all the events, its good...figthing for the win on some, excellent.

1. Loeb will win Monte and . . .
2. Be the leading Hyundai after Sweden

3. Loeb arriving at Hyundai and being immediately faster than their full time drivers, saying that nothing is wrong with that car. Therefore Adamo is being sacked and Nandan called back.

----------------------------------------------------
I checking this I also found another prediction that sadly did not happen:

5. N.O.T. will find the true meaning of life and shall stop posting on this forum.

Now go back to the cave on the end of my ignore list.

=========================

Point of the comments is not to "hang out" people, but to emphasize that predicting how driver/car combinations perform and what is the cause of them not performing is difficult and quite likely to be wrong.

mknight....for fucks sake stop quoting me from CRYSTAL BALL THREAD because everything i wrote there was with a JOKE.


get a life man.

Some people were predicting how both Ogier and Lappi will massively struggle with C3..... that did not happen.

Some people were predicting how Loeb will be fastest Hyundai straight away and win first two rallies... that certainly did not happen either.

What was the relevance of this?

And most of the comments you have taken are probably from that crystal ball prediction thread where some people are making bold claims for a laugh or because they want it to happen...

If Ostberg and Breen could fight at the front on certain events after the mid season updates with the C3, Ogier was always going to be able to despite the fact he wants further obvious improvements (which is ominous). Meeke won in the C3 when the car was at it's worst and he's not the level of a driver Ogier is...

The GOAT isn't a faster or a better driver that Thierry anymore, im sure he's said that himself. He wouldn't beat Thierry across a whole season, or in most normal circumstances imo. So to expect him to come in and wipe the floor with Thierry after little testing and a Dakar behind him, was a pipe dream. The GOAT has nothing to prove and is only driving for the pleasure, and to do a job for the Hyundai team in the drivers and manufacturers championships. He's only at Hyundai because your boy Mikkelsen failed badly at that last season, and this is probably the reason you're so butthurt about things...

[er88]

I have a feeling Mikkelsen will look a lot better after this rally...

If Loeb gets beaten by WRC2 cars maybe...

So tell me which if your predictions was a JOKE:

1. AL14 finally back on the forum and making good jokes and my mood good again.
2. Meeke being quite often the fastest Toyota, but due inconsistency and not understanding to back off sometimes, still finishes the season as third number.
3. Loeb arriving at Hyundai and being immediately faster than their full time drivers, saying that nothing is wrong with that car. Therefore Adamo is being sacked and Nandan called back.
4. Ogier and Lappi to struggle a little bit in the beginning of the season, Lappi outdriving Ogier because the car suits him better. But after the updates Ogier is unbeatable and wins all the tarmac rallies.
5. Tänak becomes champion in Finland (because i will be there and i can celebrate)

To me the parts that could be considered "jokes" are:
- 1.
-Nandan getting called back
- and Tanak winning title in Finland

If you mean all of the rest is a joke then your sense of humor is somewhat special.
