Meeke third, and looked like he was holding back a little. Hang in there Kris.

As for his pace, I'm speculating if the Toyota maybe is the hardest hit by the lack of oxygen in Mexico. It's clear the C3 is the strongest at this altitude, and the pace of all three Yarises leads me to think that. Add it to Latvala, who's always been critical of lower powered cars in which clean lines are essential, I'm guessing that's why he's been off the pace; he's likely used to having the extra power in the Toyota to power out of mistakes.

Well, at least Toyota has still 2 cars in race after day one, unlike Hyundai(and this time nobody can accuse Michel Nandan

)

if toyota had the team on autopilot it would do better than having such a useless management.

pathetic.

And they still managed to take manufacturers championship. It would be a boring championship, if they had a ”proper” management. They would win every rally 1-2-3

Everything is in place for a Tanak charge today.

More WRC cars? Of course national championships have more entrants, the rallies are shorter and budgets smaller.

But it’s still bad for a WRC event, although Safari could also end often with 10 finishing cars and Ivory Coast was only worse...

At this retirements pace, maybe Bullacia will get in the overall podium…anyway, nice job from the Bolivian kid so far.

at the moment we have 3 rallies in south-america, ok we dont know anything about Chile yet, but out of this three i would happily drop Mexico out with its organising troubles every year, 10 super specials and short entrylist and people in dangerous places on stages.

Also Australia out, Corsica out....New Zealand in instead of Australia and some new european tarmac round.
