Wales Rally GB 2016

[Fast Eddie WRC]

I underestimated Tänak's pace and fair play to him, he was outstanding this rally and I think if he was 4th in SD it wouldn't have changed anything. But where were the other 2 from the top 3 in SD? Not on the podium, that's for sure

You say I cant let it go, well it was you who said the Shakedown wouldn't be reflected at the end of the rally, so I can answer that now the rally is over.

All I was saying, was that sometimes Shakedown CAN give an indication of rally pace. I never claimed that it provides the exact rally result.

And you cant predict crashes, punctures etc (like for Breen & Meeke) as well as the 1000 other factors that affect the speed of the car or attitude of the driver in the event.

If Breen hadn't rolled who knows what times he might have set later in the rally. Or if Meeke had needed a higher place for points, like when he was 2nd here last year...

Impressions of my weekend:
Shakedown... what a great morning. Tanak was visibly on form and such a thrilling series of runs..

But SD means nothing.
