TOYOTA GAZOO Racing WRT

[N.O.T]

Hey NOT

Still think the Toyota are a “Barn” team?

yes... Tanak carries them on his shoulders.

they are nothing... and i would not be surprised if they fK up his chances on the following rallies either...

Latvala leaving Toyota could be also reasonable for himself. Does he want to continue in a team whose car fails him so often?

If he will go to Citroen he will let go like Meeke. He needs his Ford back and that's it. Ogier To Citroen, because frenchies belong nowhere else than there.

Yet all three of them were able to set fastest stage times in Germany. Funny, isn't it?

Looking at stage winner stats for the season, Lappi is fourth and Latvala fifth. Tänak of course first. Three Toyotas in top five.

Stage winner stats are a bit biased by drivers (some drivers push for fastest times i rally2 while others just cruise and test set up) and for last few years also starting positions on gravel rallies.

However when the numbers are big enough (over 15 for a season) they are the best indicators of pure speed.

Note that "pure speed" does not mean you can win most rallies.
Ex. a driver that wins 3 stages then crashes, goes to rally2 and then wins 3 more (partly due to start position) and crashes again. Doesn't really mean he could have won the rally.

EDIT: Lately power stage points can also be used as an interesting indicator cause that's the one stage where just about everyone wants to push.
Power stage points are also less biased by one good event. Ex. if a driver is really fast in one even he gets many stage wins. But only 1 set of PS points.

Could someone help with link to stage wins count?
