Also combined with tyres with less grip maybe?

It´s also my concern over the speed, however rallying never was a harmless sport. Not even in the 60´s having 80-90 hp.

But thinking of the consequences of a fatal accident among one of the cars in the top, for example in Finland, make me shiver.

Power is not the problem. Grip and corner speeds are. Sudden stop with a tree etc. Is the most dangerous. 60’s had almost zero safety equipment

some interesting bits from an interview with Tommi in estonian newspaper, especially the bit about Latvala. i dont remember when was the last time that i saw team principal being so straightforward about his driver.

Do the marshals have to react quicker and throw away the big stones from the road?

TM: Absolutely! They had enough time to do it. Finally they did it but unfortunately too late for us. I dont particularly only mean the safety of the drivers or this accident with Ott but safety in general. These big stones can fly everywhere. It is dangerous in every way.

How do you comment Latvalas accident on the next stage?

TM: Jari-Mattis harddrive crashed again. As soon as Ott retired he lost his rhytm and things got messed up.

Can you specify ?

TM: He started to think that Tänaks retirement opens him a new chance. He forgot to concentrate on the driving and there was a accident right away. It was purely his mistake, no excuses.


Then also an interview with Latvala where he says that the car is more faster this year and there is more grip but it also has brought side effects and that he has to drive the car in different way. He cant drive the same way as he was used to drive.

It's literally 2016 all over again: car too stable for sideways, strong teammate, "this is my year to win the shampionship", etc etc.

On the bright side he finally woke up from his slow and steady approach and began to win stages in Portugal.

who was trying to beat?

The question is - was he trying to beat someone/something. If we answer that question, we might step up to the next level - who/what.

when stupid people try to be smart they only thing they achieve is to ridicule themselves...

you said he wasnt trying to beat Neuville.
So who was trying to beat?

[BigWorm]

Ogier wants to beat everyone, you could tell that by how frustrated he was on Saturday and forward because he couldn't fight at the front.

He paid the price of making a mistake by cutting a corner too much, but his pace was encouraging up until that point.

Yeah, that´s what I tried to state. Give them 500 hp but no grip. No problem to me. But still, as you say we have the sudden stops. Dangerous in every speed more or less, depending how the impact takes.
