3) Ogier is clearly the man to beat, showed better pace than Latvala in Corsica and here in Spain.

But we should also praise Latvala that has finally showed consistency from Finland till now. I don't know if he never had finished 5 events in a row in first and second positions only. Of course it would be another thing to see such performances when championship is not yet gone for him.

man, i just said that '' he could fight for the championship''
didn t said that he would beat him.Of course Ogier is the man to beat.

Impressive how better he is at 2nd half of the year.

If IFs and BUTs were pots and pans, everyone would be scrap metal merchants...

he is better in the second half because he has no pressure... it is always like that with kids they are good with fun and games but not that good when they have hot coals in their pockets...

pitty for him,because its not down to less driving capabilities,but down to psychological reasons that dont allow his driving capabilities.

For once that I couldn't watch the power stage this happens, damn! Anywhere I can watch it again? Congratulations to Mikkelsen, finally his first win. Congratulations also to Nasser (if Kremer would have passed him on final stage, the championship would still be open? Such a shame) and Aasen.

As one guy from our Czech forum pointed out we have now a first season since 2002 when two or more drivers made their maiden victories. This year it was Kris Meeke and Andreas Mikkelsen, 13 years a go it was two icons - Sebastien Loeb and Petter Solberg...

A few photos from today. Did only 2 stages, twice the short one this morning. some long flat-out section before they arrived, then a right corner (flat out for the fastest), then the road bends left into braking for a slower right corner with a big cut. After a few cars the dust/gravel started getting on the road which meant a lot of fun. Ptaszek (Fiesta R2T) did a big crash there, he was braking way too late and went straight. Spectators were quite lucky, if the wall would have been half a meter lower the car would have rolled onto it I think... All in all a great event, going to try to come back sometime.

I wouldn't mind if it would be a complete asphalt rally.

dimvii: where you take this pictures with results? its tottaly wrong, JML take 18 for o/a and 2 from PS in Spain. Ogier win in Australia o/a and PS, thats mean 28point not 21 lika in a pictures. All points from pictures are non-sense, or not from this season

No lakes, no hairpins, not even flowers or rocks and no filters and heavy post processing... follow the useless pros next time they know best.
