WRC Croatia Rally 2021

More fuel to the fire - seems (and I'm surprised) that no one picked it up. Julian said (don't remember exactly when) on All-Live that he saw Markko Märtin (previous WRC driver, doing "manager" job for Tänak) visiting "other teams".

I think Tanak will be back at Msport next season along with Fourmaux.

Toyota have Evans and Kalle to lead them when Ogier retires, and I don't think the Japanese will want to bring Tanak back after he left them for what felt like some non-sporting reasons.

Could be an interesting drivers market with so many out of contract and the new regs coming in.

there was nothing to do with Japanese, they wanted Ott to stay...it was all between Tommi, Mia and Tänak....Lappi left for the same reasons.

this is what i know at least.

you know there were stories that they wouldnt take Ogier in the team because what he said about the car back in the end of 2016, but guess what, Ogier is in the team.

Here is your bone: https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/colin...river-ratings/

Only one major issue... Katsuta 10/10. Stage wins are nice but when he is last WRC 20s (1s/km) behind on the stage before they don't matter much. He was also on the way to finish 7th before Greensmith hit issues. So something like 7/10.

Breen would get like 3/10 from me mostly due to hitting the curb for puncture 30m into the stage.

Greensmith 7/10 is British bias, 5/10 from me.

I saw it spreading and I just make one comment on this title: Culture of “rallyfans” in Croatia

If in Rally Estonia 2 guys behave like idiots, I would not like it's called "Culture of "rallyfans" in Estonia. It's labeling based on exceptions (I hope).

there was news now that the wheel was given back, so all okay.

Makes you wonder how good neuville must be when you see his pace in a car that all others think is crap.

Cars are not just good/bad, but some cars suit some drivers better than others.

Tänak even said to Delfi (Estonian media) that all drivers except Neuville have a problem with the Hyundai on tarmac.

I was really the only driver in the team to follow up with the speed of Sébastien and Elfyn.

He was saying similar stuff in Argentina 2017 or sometime around that.
While it might be true at that point it certainly doesn't improve atmosphere in the team and cooperation for developing the new car.

There are quite a few times where he also has been the slowest Hyundai (lately Estonia 2020, Sardinia and Finland 2019).

I hope Adamo will be heard and FIA promoter will create a rotation based calendar. We need Estonia, we need Croatia, we need Belgium, we need Greece, we need Safari, we need the classic events as well.This way the sport gains more fans. Watching the social media, I see that Croatian people were really excited with the rally and they cannot wait to watch a WRC rally again.

Organize rallies in places people are passionate about them, this is what the sport needs. My fellow Greeks celebrated and are still celebrating when they heard we will host an Acropolis again, they even made a parade with their cars in Lamia.

Estonians are crazy about the sport and Tanak, I witnessed it in Catalunya 2019.

British people as well.

Get rid of rallies with few spectators and no passion, it is a bad image for WRC.

Yeah. Agree. Rotate more. But don´t touch Rally Finland... that´s for sure.
