World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

[tbtstt]

Bit of a meh track, but there's nothing to say the layout couldn't be improved for future events.

Yeah. I thought the Canadian track was pretty awful the first year, but they managed to improve that. Fingers crossed they can make some changes for the next time out.

Even putting the performance of the VW to one side, he's been stand out this season. His first corner awareness, ability to raise his game and consistency are better than anyone else on the grid. The car has helped, but if, say, Ekstrom was in VW and Johan in Audi then i still think he'd have taken the title.

Yeah, I fully agree. The team around him are obviously very accomplished as well; I think it's fair to say that EKS have thrown away two wins due to poor spotting whereas Johan, on the few occasions he has been caught mid-pack, has made sensible joker decisions which you could attribute to the team rather than the driver.

It was his mid-pack performance in France that most impressed me this year: even when things weren't going his way and he had traffic to deal with he was still absolutely flawless.

I would be very interested to see Johan in one of his rivals cars: I do wonder just how big the divide is between the Polo, S1 and 208 now (I personally think it has massively closed this year).
