I was really the only driver in the team to follow up with the speed of Sébastien and Elfyn.

He was saying similar stuff in Argentina 2017 or sometime around that.
While it might be true at that point it certainly doesn't improve atmosphere in the team and cooperation for developing the new car.
There are quite a few times where he also has been the slowest Hyundai (lately Estonia 2020, Sardinia and Finland 2019).

I hope Adamo will be heard and FIA promoter will create a rotation based calendar. We need Estonia, we need Croatia, we need Belgium, we need Greece, we need Safari, we need the classic events as well.This way the sport gains more fans. Watching the social media, I see that Croatian people were really excited with the rally and they cannot wait to watch a WRC rally again.
Organize rallies in places people are passionate about them, this is what the sport needs. My fellow Greeks celebrated and are still celebrating when they heard we will host an Acropolis again, they even made a parade with their cars in Lamia.
Estonians are crazy about the sport and Tanak, I witnessed it in Catalunya 2019.
British people as well.
Get rid of rallies with few spectators and no passion, it is a bad image for WRC.Last edited by bomber21; 26th April 2021 at 19:02.

I saw the onboard of SS9 of Fourmaux. This stage is super-exciting and the dirt from the cuts is nothing extreme. Also, as far as I can judge from a video, this is not so slippery. It may be slippery compared to French or Italian tarmac, but it does not seem a really slippery road, as some we have in my country. All in all, at least this stage is lots of fun to drive.
I hope Croatia is in WRC next year. I have heard very good things about Zagreb from some old Serbian friends and I will surely visit it.

It was very nice event, really OK organized, with everyone really trying to do their best to make it happen!
Roads were really demanding, but at same time enjoyable to drive. Stages with very different character, many types of roads and surfaces, some extremely slippery. Some anti-cuts and some deep cuts with loads of gravel on the road.
This was surely great addition to the calendar.
Only thing which I don't like on all that type of WRC tarmac rallies is that only P1 and P2 crews can use gravel crews, which automatically makes fighting between top WRC2 and WRC3 crews impossible, etc.

Will Oliver get more Rally1 chances in 2025, are there any signals?
