WRC ADAC Deutschland Rallye 2018

The Fiesta has always been a great car on tarmac...last year Ogier won Monte and was second in Corsica, Tänak won Germany and in spain Ogier and Tänak were 2nd and 3rd. This year Ogier has won Monte and Corsica.

That was last year, things dont stay the same. Some others cars also progressed and the Toyota especially.

M-Sport clearly needed to up their game, hence the new aero.

lol, i just said to you that Ogier won in Monte and Corsica this year and is second atm

Well, when one loses 7.7 seconds to the first one and 5.4 to his teammate in a 10km stage, mostly made for driving flat out, then i´d say it`s quite hard to blame the car...unless it`s broken.

Last year on exactly same stage in the dry (first run) it was Hyundai 1+2 and Mikkelsen in C3 4th.
This year it's Hyundai 3+4/5 and Mikkelsen 10th.

Surely Mikkelsen drives the same car slower than his teammates, that's not the argument. Argument is that Hyundai is slower here than last year compared to other cars. Which is surprising.

So is Tanak now a better tarmac driver to be beating him here ?

[EstWRC]

Ott got 200km/h on the straight

[N.O.T]

the driving is over now... only mistakes will change things.

If Tanak wins it will be pleasing to Neuville.

Better he finishes 3rd to Ogier in 2nd... only a 3 pts drop not 7 pts (like 1st - 2nd)

Mikkelsen seems found some speed.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Ott got 200km/h on the straight

Strongest engine according to Julian Porter.

[EstWRC]

Latvala also with much better speed in the afternoon
