Google maps shows that these 2 locations are approx. 11 km apart from each other

For some reason there isnt proper google streetview at that place, only one dot. And if u open street view in that dot this comes up
360 degrees view inside that car. pretty cool.

If these domino pieces fall as it has been predicted here (Ogi to TGR and Citroen to leave) then some finnish hag has screwed up whole WRC...

I think they're willing to hire a driver who will do what's in their best interest.
And this is not to say Tänak would be a cheat, but as AnttiL pointed out, the conflict of interest is huge and leaves a lot to be desired. I think it would be best for all parties (incl. Tänak himself) that Tänak stays home for Australia. If he and Toyota do not win the title, there will forever be questions whether he did his all in that specific rally.

I am very sorry, but this is the stupidest WRC-related thing I have ever read. Worst thing Tänak can do is to no start in Australia. It would decimate his, Hyundai's and whole WRC's integrity and would make the whole series a joke.
I am 100% sure that Tänak will go to Australia hungry as ever and will be fastest Toyota as now the pressure is gone and he can really push.

In Australia he is still a driver of Toyota Gazoo Racing and I think it wasn't even under consideration that he would drive slower or do anything else stupid.. Hyundai should already take into account and calculate the points the way that Tänak may win the rally.

Quite the opposite I'm afraid. If conflict of interest (which this is, right?) isn't taken seriously, THAT would make the whole series a joke.
And just to say it one more time: I have no doubts Tänak would do everything in order to secure the manu title for TGR (he has some nice bonus on that title as well, I assume), but it's more about how it looks.

Well I think that he goes to Australia to end season with a bang. He doesent have win from there yet and he can realle push because no pressure anymore and he still works for Toyota, to stay home or cruise throught is just stupid. He even said in one interview that season is not over yet, they can relax for a bit but more work waits in Australia.

Is this the year Leclerc gets to end his Monaco 'jinx'? The 26-year-old has yet to stand on his home podium in five attempts, four with Ferrari, but he can end that 'jinx' on Sunday. Published May...
