I don't have any information how big was Ogier's role on building Polo. Could Polo be different (worse) car without Ogier? I have no idea.
Ogier must have good understanding how to set-up car. No doubt about that. 6 titles didn't just fall to his lap.
Are those as good as Tänak, who have been working as mechanic and can talk "their language"? I also don't know that answer, but for me it seems, that Tänak can be better in that.

Huge; the car was initially developed by Sainz but Loeb did most of the testing work before the car homologation. FX Demaison, VW Motorsport tech chief, said several times that Ogier was always pushing for more improvements and his views were fundamental to make the car more competitive through the seasons. Mr. Wilson said the same about the Fiesta and so is now Budar saying on the C3. Btw, Loeb also didn’t had mechanic or engineer background and that didn’t prevent him to help developing winning rally cars or getting a proper set-up.

I always believed that in Loeb's times the main development drivers of Citroën was Bugalski.

I think there is some confusion between the Sebs in Rally Power's post.

Nice to hear Julan Porter on todays AR podcast totally agree with me that the Oulton Park stage should've been run in the daylight... even if just the top 20 cars. Great for the fans and TV audience and could've started at 5pm not 7pm.
As it was he confirmed it was so dark (and wet) that all the poor spectators could see were a set of spotlights.
We really need to showcase the WRC and this isnt a good way to do it.Last edited by Fast Eddie WRC; 16th October 2019 at 17:43.
