Wrc Tour de Corse 2015

Couldn't agree more. Why not Mike Chen or Colin Clark? I also love every time Craig Breen or Luis Moya are colour commentators; and it puts a big smile on my face every time I hear Breen correct Desborough's "facts".

Can't they draft in Nicky Grist? I love hearing him talk and I think he has a passion for the sport that is difficult to match. Absolutely no one likes Desborough.

Have some people on here never watched a rally before? You don't decide your end result by adding together what position you were in on each stage.

After all the stages the stopwatch had Elfyn in second - so, in a rally where everyone had equal conditions, how does he not deserve to finish second?

I want him to do well but I'm not some blinkered Evans apologist. I don't think he's impressed much at all during his WRC career and I have been critical of him - but I'll say what I said the other day - let's give credit where it's due.

You can't start adding on stages that didn't exist and you can't predict what would happen in them and brand that as 'fact'. There's no reason why Evans couldn't have put time into, or at least matched Latvala, in those horrendous conditions on Friday. But those stages never ran so we have what we have.

I'm ususally also very critial of Evans, but this for me a pretty impressive performance. Couldn't have said it better myself. I'd still sack him if I was Wilson though. He only ever excels on tarmac and not even always there does he do a good enough job.

I can see that Tidemand managed to have two accidents and a puncture on seven stages. Quite an event to forget...

For sure... he even said so himself on his FB page.

For sure he´ll forget this one. Let´s hope we do to.

And about blocking talent, I didn't mean Latvala is doing that. His manager has done that to all but his drivers. Just failed to do that to Grönholm, but nearly manged that as well

What a totally crap you are talking about. It's on the same level as NOT and that's not a compliment.
You really think there's a godfather in Finland who's in charge who becomes a factory-driver?
I think the manufacturers are in charge and they pick up what they think it's best for the team. In the case of Latvala and even Hivonen they promised a very good curve on performances in the beginning of there career but in the end both meet a even better driver(s) to compete against. On the other hand i saw no better options the last few years, especially for Hirvonen because in the end he's still a good team-driver and good for many podiums. And Latvala is the best next driver after Ogier and yes with more than 10 years experience but if you don't judge that as talented you really don't know what you're talking about.
And sometimes it's possible the most talented driver isn't choosen, but in the end maybe even in Africa there's a driver living who can be better and faster than Ogier. In the end we never know, only can judge afterwards. And that's so easy...

Guys, can you please stop arguing about Latvala, Kubica and Neuville? I would like to find useful info in this thread and it is one useful post in 5 pages full of crap.

Somebody please confirm me this: In WRC2 there are 6 best results from FIRST 7 rallies counted. There is no registration for rounds you want to score points to WRC2 but if you compete in eighth round you are not allowed to score points neither "stole" points from other competitors. Is it right? It would be Lappi´s case in Wales. He will be like ghost there. He (probably) will be there but he won´t be in WRC2 results.

What do you guys think about Lefebvre performance? Because I don't understand the Citroen's hype about this guy. In Corsica he managed to set just one top10 time. Obviously he's learning the new car but isn't tarmac suppose to be his surface? Now Citroen confirms him in WRC for Catalunya so the must really belevie in him.

I've said before he's not really impressed me. He's shown he can bring the car home, but with very few flashes of pace so far. I'm not sure what Matton is telling him to do each rally but I hope in Spain he will push more. Yves said in a WRC interview on Friday that Stephane was doing Catalunya with the help of his personal sponsors. So I guess Red Bull are helping to pay for this one? I did wonder whether we would see Al-Qassimi in Spain as it is normally on his programme.


BTW I am also interested in the answer to liposh's WRC2 points question. But I will ask it a little more nicely

Yes, it is like you are writing. There are counted 6 best results from first 7 rallies, where you noticed on entry form, that you are part of WRC2. Example for this is Protasov - he was doing also some rallies with R5 car, but out of WRC2 classification as he noticed it on entry form.

Well, he´s French and he´s Loeb´s kid. That´s why Citroen is favouring him. I´m not impressed by his performance, too.
