[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

[tommeke_B]

I prefer full days on friday and saturday and a shorter sunday rather than Wales having a useless first leg already. They do 2x3 stages. Only 1 (!) hour between the first and the third stage of each loop, so even if you watch only WRC cars it's nearly impossible to see 4 stages that day. Last stage of the day at 14:30... Why make a longer sunday leg when organizers don't even use the full potential of the other days?

Totally agree! I would like to go again in the beautiful Wales....but watch just 2 stages on Friday and again on Sunday it's not enough! 3X2 format it's awful for spectators, organizer should copy Sardinia's format, or at least propose a 4x2 format, with a refuelling to break the loop...

Having the last stage at 14:30 is a complete joke. It's meant to be a tough sport. You could fit in another 3-4 stages. It's a combination of the rules/regs, lack of imagination from organizers that we have this. I wasn't a fan of the 'cloverleaf' format when they brought it in nearly 20 years ago; and I'm still not. It has added nothing to the sport, and hasn't brought all the TV/ media coverage they thought it would.

Latvala will be Toyota leader.

I think now is too early for speculation bit since it is fun to predict line ups I think Neuville could be their top driver after new hyundai will not be fast enough to catch VWs in 2016.

is Neuville fast enough to catch the VW ? so far this season is the most useless driver by far.

Sordo and Paddon have beaten Neuville this year, and NOT favourite, Mr Manager Timo Juohki is very very influential in the new Toyota set up

I've said that Neuville could be their driver, not their right choice
