[WRC] Safari Rally 2022

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Toyota's (Safari) heritage is forgotten inhouse, so I think everyone was on step one last year. The cars are simply not built for these hard conditions.

The Yaris is a tank. All the other cars falling apart but Toyota just needs a power wash.

Does Kalle has a possibility to clinch the title in Finland when he wins it?

if he has a 120 points advantage, yes. but that means he needs to get another 50 points advantage in just 2 rallies.

unlikely, but considering the quality of hyundai not impossible.


as it is now:
Rovanpera 145
Neuville 75
Tanak 62
Katsuta 62
Breen 58
Evans 57

Dear lord... not to take anything away from Katsuta, but him being on par with Tanak and not far from Neuville tells everything.

And we thought Ogier stormed away with the championship back in 2013, I know there’s still 7 rounds to go after this one but this is an absolute masterclass by Kalle, sure the Hyundai’s are falling apart but he still needs to do his part to get his first championship, hats off to him. Do hope though, that Hyundai will show more resistance in the second half of the year.

Rovanperä's title win in Finland would be craaazy!

nothing impossible tho..

have i missed something, or is solberg doing something of a amateur performance here? he's 10 minutes down without any real big issues as far as i can see.

he's an amateur driver, not fit for WRC yet at all

It is very weird to see. One would expect the toyota to be completely dominant when looking at rovanpera and katsuta, but then there's evans.

It's always hard to tell, but i feel that if tanak or neuville would also have been in the toyota, they would be right up there with kalle.

I can add the depute chief scrutineer to the list of organisers who I will class as not knowing the rules as well as I do
Shouldn’t be possible at WRC level.

Too much of a lottery rally

Was great back in the day but doesn’t suit nowadays format IMO

Please could you confirm the format?

It always amazes me how forum member know better how the drivers should drive and adapt

It's fair to comment when the cars are falling apart and crashing out. Then again, if you expect every rally to be 100% flat out attack - you would be confused.
