He couldn`t physically steer the car in this speed/conditions anymore.

made some more statistics, which is kind of opposite of my earlier thoughts

stage wins without our top 3 drivers:
Meeke - 35
Latvala - 22
Evans - 17
Sordo - 14
Mikkelsen - 14
Loeb - 13
Suninen - 12
Lappi - 11

Toyota - 57
Hyundai - 41
Ford - 29
Citroen - 11

Latvala Is the last person I expected to be at the top of this list it shows he's starting to find true speed again, but that he's just run out of luck.

this one is true.
Prevision depend more on consistency of a driver and reliability of a car

Even if Ott not have problems being 29s after Ott in second to last stage is impressive as hell because we know Ott is on a roll, he's hot now so 29s back after 3 1/2 hours is realy good..especially when we consider how ancient he is..He's 36 years old and according to all the ex-spurts he should be in wheelchair and with a seeing eye dog leading him..
I guess he is deaf to criticism...well that is his name anyway..

Sordo put in a mega drive this weekend, for sure. To be fair, I tend to rate Sordo rather lowly, and I frequently look at him as an eternal has been with no further potential, but every single time he's in that i20 he surprises me.

In the past two years he's really been competitive on every outing in the i20, particularly this year. Every time I don't believe in him he goes out and keeps within touching distance of, or even makes it to, the podium.

As "gifted" as this win was, I've gained a lot of respect for him after today. I hope he stays for a few more years, he's still got some nice potential (and is such a likeable guy too!)

just watched Tanak onboard - problems starts from 0:38.5. After a right corner overcrest, and 'problem' corner was first proper corner which require heavy turning. Why that broke on 38.5 - i HAVE NO IDEA! Very strange

[KKS]

Sordo cup... That broken piece should belong to Tanak

Speed isn't a problem, the speed is there. It's the consistency that's lacking, and troubles and crashes that's too much
A lot of those fast stages comes from him on rally2

Agree, sadly we have 4 teams but 3 top drivers.

Made some calculations just for fun, excluded our top 3 drivers from every rally so far this year and the results are:

Rally wins:
Hyundai - 4
Ford - 3
Citroen - 1
Toyota - 0

Podium places in total:
Ford - 9
Hyundai - 7
Toyota - 5
Skoda - 2
Citroen - 1

And some say that Toyota is dominant and fastest car by far...

I'm sorry, but when did Lappi win with Citroen this year, or are you including the WRC 2/Pro Category?

[KKS]

Birthday cake for Neuville ))

[Katvala]

I'm sorry, but when did Lappi win with Citroen this year, or are you including the WRC 2/Pro Category?

It's a list of results with the top three drivers excluded.
For example the second place of Lappi in Sweden. In this list that would be win for Lappi, when top three is excluded
