Just reading over the last few pages of this thread.

People are not happy or stating that "crews" are not happy with a tough rally, challenging on drivers and cars and are "blaming" the rally organisers and rally it self...

Honestly are some of you serious? You're saying because a rally is hard on cars and drivers it's a bad rally. Wow.... Didn't know rallying was meant to be easy... seems like we can ALL just jump into a WRCar and compete.. Give me a break!

Indeed, still some miles to the end. This night is definetely a "nervous" one for Kris. Hope he will get the first victory in WRC.
And Citroën should make a big celebration as honestly this is a pure coindience...Will take time for another one...

Definitely, couldn't pick more dangerous. And safe is behind a tree, not in front of it.

Completely agree. But that is also the consequence of current technics in WRC cars, they are not made for tough, endurance races. If the calendar had a Rally like Safari, situation should be quite different perhaps.

It is good to have tough rallies in the calender ! (I think Mexico is quite unforgiving as well) It must be the whole season package for the engineers to perform and to win or at least pick up many points as possible. I think there is an acceptable balance now in WRC in gravel, tarmac, snow/ice, cold, hot etc. etc. You can say many things about the FIA/WRC and Mr. Todt but in this case they do an okay job.

I didn't said anything about FIA/Todt

im not against harder rallies but this is too much IMO. Half the guys basically using rally2, some just now cruising through the end. i want to see the drivers fighting against each other, not fighting to survive in the rally, this years sweden rally is perfect example what i want.
