Latvala is at it again. Can't give some peace to himself if a teammate is faster and driving at the edge.... Just let it go e take a bunch of points...

Yes, he was sure to be wdc last year as well. Although I think he will bring this one home

I bet he felt the same way last year.

Great job by Breen and even Ostberg in the C3. Will be great for me if they can keep the challenge going and take some points off the Hyundai's.

Looks like the Toyota's are too far back now to do anything.

Whole point of limited testing is that you shouldn't win by just outspending others on testing and the exception was that teams can check simple functional things just outside the team base.

Unsurprisingly (all) teams will use any loophole available. So M-Sport has own gravel and tarmac testtracks, Toyota uses parts of actual stages and I have no doubts Citroen and Hyundais do similar stuff.

Don't be so sad over nothing.

My biggest fear becoming true! He hasn't cracked yet but the strees marks of struggle are beginning to show. God forbid he loses his momentum because of Tanak (even if it's by no fault of Tanak himself).

DMack's... You think all that time difference comes from tyres?

Another trivia point, tonight in Australia Glenn's father just received highest honour from the ASN for his services to rallying. Senior forum members might remember him when WRC Australia was in Perth.

Chandler got a life time achievement Sports award in the 2018 NZ main (Halberg) sports awards. https://nzmotorracing.co.nz/2018/02/...alberg-awards/
