Since everybody else posts their thoughts...

I feel sorry for Paddon/Kennard, they did not deserve to hit somebody.I look forward to hearing RMC's plans to improve the situation next year. There will be plans, hmm?

I enjoyed seeing a few RGTs go round, even if they were irrelevant. Judging by the number of youtube videos that featured them with mainly WRC1 content, so do other people.

Neuville... He should have maybe been more careful with the lead that he had, but he was unlucky too.

Neuville vs Tanak vs Ogier was pretty close once you adjust for the offs and mechanical issues. This looks very promising for the year ahead.

Why is there no service between Saturday and Sunday? People do not travel hundreds of miles and pay hundreds of Euros to not watch their favorite driver. What part of "spectator sport" do the FIA not understand? Every effort should be made to keep all cars on the road to the end. And why are they increasing the power stage points to make the last day more important, then excluding cars from the last day?

The rally should end at the end of the power stage, not at control after that. I know a century ago rallying was about long drives on public roads with occasional special stages, and there is a lot of enthusiast rallying like that now, but come on this is the WRC. Again, people do not travel hundreds of miles and pay hundreds of Euros to have the result decided on a public road away from the spectators/coverage. If Tanak had not reached control today, the FIA would be looking like idiots.

It's good to see that Toyota's car is OK-ish. Maybe not up with Hyundai/M-Sport, but they're not going to be like Ostberg was last year. On the other hand, I hate that bird chirping noise it makes even more than I hated the insectile chittering of the VWs we just got rid of.

Citroen... eh.

Kris, oh Kris.

Feeling good about the year to come.

Come on Kris, you can win the championship.
