[WRC] 91e Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo (16-22 January 2023)

[Rallyper]

he should step back for 2 years into WRC3...WRC2 is too early for him....

Yes, he should. First ever driver getting a puncture in Monte. He´s finished.

Wait... he won SS3.

Taka flying

What the hell taka. Where this came from

[Sulland]

Because the Fiesta rally 2 is shit. Shows how good Huttunen is. At least he beat these guys with it.

The Fiesta is normally not far off on asphalt, it ot on gravel/white stuff it is far behind the opposition.

Here we go again...

Winning stages even by huge margins (which this wasn't) is not what his aim should be in WRC2 (and not really in WRC either). He has shown already in 2019-20 that he can be fast on single stages.
It's connecting the fast stages to good results (first rally then championship) that should be the goal.

Puncture already in second stage of the season doesn't look promising. I would applaud him being 1-2 secs slower than fastest Rally2 cars and staying on podium more than this.

What’s the problem with ewrc, too much traffic?

He is not scoring points this weekend so doesn’t need a podium.. he may as well explore the limits of the new car with no pressure.

All other Rally 2s get updates for this season but fiesta doesnt. Engine is the biggest problem. The car seems to be ok to drive but there is just not enough power.
Msport still have some jokers left to update it. They promised updates already last season mainly to the engine but they were nowhere to be seen.

[EstWRC]

Ogier without a hybrid and such a time. Lol

It was not far off on asphalt 2 seasons ago but now in my opinion is far off on every surface as the other cars get better. Suninen 2 years ago had to push like hell with it to get competive times against Skodas.
