Rally Sweden 2017

You proved me wrong Jari, lovely drive, albeit benefiting from Thierrys mistake (but that's Rallying !) He has thrown it away twice now, I bet Hyundai top brass are really 'happy' !! Kris you need something big to happen, no excuses - you aint performing!! Upstaged by Craig again ! Great for Ott, cant be long now mate !!

Quite an alarming start to 2017 for Citroen and Meeke.

They missed most of last year to test and be ready with the new car and yet those that started much later (MSport) or from scratch (Toyota) have started significantly better.

Worrying.

Yes, a bit the same situation as Neuville didn't push today and didn't win PS

No, nothing like Neuville.. he and his car have been fastest and look confident.

Meeke and the C3 have been nowhere in either rally.

Congrats to N.O.T for Darwin Award of the century! Very well deserved!

Stunning performance from Neuville, Tänäk and Latvala! Intresting times ahead. Neuville will most likely fly in Mexico due starting position

I don't think you understand what a Darwin award is...

It is when you do something so stupid that you either kill yourself or damage your reproductive organs so much you can't reproduce.

He drive slowly all two morning stages and was beaten by two mens who didn't save his tyres.

I was talking about Citroen/Meeke in 2017 not just the power stage !!

a win is a win, well done to both toyota and Latvala.

Now a month of wait and the real season starts.

I think he is right. The benchmarking starts at Mexico. The first 2 rallies of the year really do not match with the rest of the season; motor- and chassis wise they are not killing rallies. Although Toyota and Ford did some great great things, I'm very happy for them, but we have to wait.

F.i. I remember Hyundai last year Alain Penasse said after questioning the then new i20 "wait after Mexico..."

The season started in Monte (and Sweden)... the points were there to be won and the confidence gained.

Its a pity that people fail to see the big picture and act like plebs.

Tanak could very easily win here but the team are not stupid to let him throw everything away.

from these 2 useless events the only conclusion we can make is that Hyundai are top of the field so far, Neuville and Tanak seem to be the fastest with the current equipment and Toyota had 2 fluke results based on conditions and nothing more.

Of course you can overglorify everything but be prepared for a hard season ahead.
