Rally Poland 2015

[Ucci]

Very exciting rally is finished! I enjoyed it very much. Although the ''Master'' won it again, the gaps very close, it proved to be an interesting event.
Few facts which I want to share : except Evans all top drivers finished the rally. With the speeds, outside temperatures, jumps....the WRC cars are not that piece of crap.
The men of the past three days : Ott Tanak. If he will continue with this speed in Finland, top three finish is reachable for him.
Hayden Paddon impressed once more, I didn't think he will be able to carry on with his dominant show from Italy. Very good indeed!
Neuville - starting to lose ground under his feet. I think he sees Hayden constantly in his nightmares.....
Rober Kubica; the local boy....well, I'm a bit disappointed with you guys, nobody said nothing about his performance this weekend. After all guy finished the rally (what a success!!), didn't have any ''journey'' into the woods&lawns; he beat fair & square Sordo, Ostberg and almost Meeke.
Talking about Meeke - I still expected more from him. I know that a roll on SD brings little to driver's self-confidence, but he is a pro and during this event he was totally lost.
Sordo; sub-average event for him. Finland should be better for him, at least I hope so.

@NOT That´s the one I believe!

[N.O.T]

I was there, Ott was crazy!!
There were not enough marshalls, maybe 1 in 200-300 meters.

Very good drive indeed. Tidemand a little disappointing in comparison, but I suppose Lappi had a lot more experience of the car.

The Skoda seemed to have a very clear advantage on this fast event, didn't expect to see Kremer 'battling' with Ketomaa.

Disagree as a swedish fan. Tidemand very early didn´t push too hard. And orders in the background isn´t known as well.

Meeke didn't do any pre-event testing, nor did Ostberg. They (DS) tested and focused on Finland.

According to drivers and co-drivers in Ypres, the Skoda is clearly the faster R5. Then the DS3, then the 208. Didn't hear about the Fiesta but it must be "slower" than the 3 others. Maybe easier to drive. Sorry for the OT.

i will be walking around with a huge smile on my face the next couple of days. Wanted to see earlier this kind of performance but i think it was the right decision from the team and Tänak to learn in the first half of the season and start to push in the second half.

Tänak, Ogier, Mikkelsen, Paddon and Kubica the drivers for me this rally. I agree with N.O.T, we need more rallies like these and the drivers loved it too. Cant comment the organizing.

Cant wait for Finland now where Tänak has always been very fast and its like home event for us estonians. And im also there
