    I think is gonna be an easy win for Ogier, it seems he is the only one who wants to win it.

    Latvala: "I need to score, I try to go fast without taking too many risks etc..."
    Neuville: "blabla, points, blabla no mistakes"

    Anyway, me too I like to think these guys still have their spherical organs between their legs and I'm looking forward for some nice battle during the weekend. Let's see. Or better, let's hope.

    I think they changed the injector supplier, but still there is a problem if one of the injector fails.

    Meireles car on sunday. Not able to fix, engine fissures. Really great action by Carlos Martins on let Pedro Meireles use his car.

    Skoda Motorsport tried but can't fix it. No engines to use.

    During that tests they found out how to fix it. They played a joker because they changed an homolagated part (the injector supplier, if I remember well). After that the car did not had problems anymore. They're german, they know how to fix things in a car.

    I'm sure they know how to fix it. It's just all the info we have Changing the homologated part is the "must do" step anyway.

    We probably should not expect some over-hype from the challengers this year any more. Probably they're already waiting for the next one...

    So shakedown in a couple of hours. Can't wait for the rally to begin. The roads look fantastic and the drivers are also praising the roads. Hoping to see Tänak's true speed finally, he was third last year until the accident and second in Fafe sprint just 0.5 down on Ogier.
