Rally Wrc Monte Carlo 2017

Tanak talked in one of his end of stage talks about "the garbage I had last year".

When did he say that? Are you sure he was referring to DMACK?
If true it would be very unrespectful. I hope he is not that kind of guy.

i am almost sure that I heard it too at one of his interviews,sounded very strange to me too,but forgot to discuss it here.

Yes, he said that. Me too presume it was about the tyres.

Well, if the comment was about RMC 2016, then it`s quite obvious to everyone and i don`t think that it`s disrespectful. They all know, that they didn`t have the correct tyre for asphalt and Monte, it was Tänak`s (and also DMacks) job to improve the tyre ans as we can see, it was much better this year.

I was just wondering that how much more downforce and traction new aerodynamics give. What was the speed by Sordo on the last corner and Tänak? Can anyone chech from WRC+? And then someone needs to calculate the downforce :P I remember that Ott was saying that new cars offer a possibility to make big caps if you are brave. So, basically, the faster you drive, the higher is downforce.

Sordo ~75 km/h
Ogier ~85 km/h
Tänak ~100+

Where did Tänak say it? I missed it too. Stage end or an interview?

If you're blaming the slow times on the tyres performing worse than the competition then to be consistent you should credit his fast times with the tyres performing better than the competition. Otherwise its like trying to pull a heads-I-win/tails-you-lose coin toss, doesn't convince many people over the age of 5.

The reality is probably a combination of both tyres and driving, he's often been inconsistent in his speed in the past (sometimes blindingly fast, sometimes head-scratchingly slow) without really seeming to know why.

Why only quote half of my post ? Maybe because the second part of it (including Tanak 2016 & Autosport quote) explained my argument...

if I remember correct at stage end

Must have been on Saturday then because I couldn't listen to radio then. Interestingly nothing about it in Estonian forum .
