I'm wondering what will happen to regulations, if they'll stick to only one hard and soft for all types of 4WD cars together, or if they'll allow different tyres for R5. The commitment from DMack is extreme, and great for our sport, I hope they'll succeed in whatever they try to accomplish with rallying.
I have to stress that the speed advantage of te Dmacks is a rumour, and I dont want to imply taking something away from Tänak. He is improving a lot, and its great to see.
But starting order and tires has a lot to say, and when Ogier on an absolute max attack can't even get a single Power Stage Point, that says a lot.
But rallying after 2004 have in my opinion never been more exiting than it is now. On the contrary to former "paying drivers times" we have now drivers that ca take advantage of that starting position and even win from it. This has been a long time coming, and is great for the sport.
With new regulations - for better or for worse they are definitely getting to be the tak of the town - WRC is having a resurgence, so this is great
