Τanak trouble at power stage

that car really sounds strange after the damage.

Which car would you say is better than the toyota?

Define better. Faster - yes maybe. The thing with Tänak is that he doesn't need to win every rally by 30 seconds or more (which he does), so he can afford a slower but more reliable car because of the raw speed he has. I think too that he would be in a better position this year with the Ford.

Which car would you say is better than the toyota?

Hard to say, I think all are pretty equal, that's why I don't think anyone can point out the better one of them. The difference has to be made by the crew sitting in it, which is great. Put the top 3 (Tänak, Ogier, Neuville) in any car, and they could win with it. But I think none of those 3 would mind sitting in a Fiesta WRC at the moment.

I think you hit the nail on the head with your last sentence. instead of looking at which car is the best, we can look at which car is not the worse... Toyota = poor reliability; Citroen = unpredictable behaviour; Hyundai = hard to set up; Fiesta = ?

Why was Ott up on the bank before spinning?

Agree, sadly we have 4 teams but 3 top drivers.

Made some calculations just for fun, excluded our top 3 drivers from every rally so far this year and the results are:

Rally wins:
Hyundai - 4
Ford - 3
Citroen - 1
Toyota - 0

Podium places in total:
Ford - 9
Hyundai - 7
Toyota - 5
Skoda - 2
Citroen - 1

And some say that Toyota is dominant and fastest car by far...

Somehow Ford running 2 cars in most rallies and citroen 2 in all of them has to have some influence.

This is actually pretty interesting considering the strength of Toyota driver line-up.

Why was Ott up on the bank before spinning?

Could be because of the power steering.
