Ott has the pace and knows when is the time to push. Totally opposite to Neuville. Cant even remember when was the last time he had a proper crash.
Most consistent and reliable driver out there.

Congrats to Kalle, great drive this weekend.
Interesting that he alluded to a personal issue he has been struggling with, I wouldn’t want to speculate, but let’s hope he has it under control or is coping ok whatever the issue.
A bit torn on the WRC2 class as Solberg drove great, but you have to say that he was actually pretty lucky they didn’t impose the mandated 5 minute penalty in the rule book.

When half of the top 10 is filled by the support catagory on a popular event like Portugal, it’s time to call it a day for WRC1. 3 head to head races at the super special last night….3. That’s not very exciting even for hardcore fans. All the casual rally fans I know have switched off completely now. It doesn’t matter how fast the top cars are when the variety in competition is so poor.

Yes, it is really bad craftsmansship from the promoter. What on earth are they doing? Nothing.
Cut the manufacturer-rule, open up for private tuners, it will take like 1 week before 3-4 energy-poison-drink-team are ready to set up a team.
Several good tuners will also give it a go if the rules is good.
Yes, Hyundai will probably leave, but Toyota and M-sport will keep up, if 3 more teams coming it is much better than today.
If pirelli also can make good tires, we know they can, this kind of rallies will be exiting.

Well, PS is always exciting. Even today as it was head to head in both categories. If you don´t like to see that, what would you actually like to watch?

For me the biggest problem is Sundays, something has to be done with those, IMO there is two options - to loose it after all and lets end saturday with PS stage (i remember there were some kind of talks about this couple of years ago) or make just 2-3 shorter (11-13km) stages on Sundays and give also points on those for TOP3. PS stage is brilliant IMO, todays stage was again very exciting and proved it.
For Portugal it would be better to switch the days, Saturday and Friday, so we dont have all the action on Day1 and then nothing after that like it was this year and also last year.#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8
