[WRC] Safari Rally 2022

Another great performance by Kalle, Neuville limiting the points loss by winning the PS, but his car just isn't up for his task.

What an outstanding result for Toyota. Their long-established reputation as the toughest car for Africa is cemented.

His and Tänak’s, just a question of when they (Toyota) take the title.

Amazing guy, that Kalle boy!

he's in hyundai for 9 years, how many times was his car up to the task? i would say in 2017 and perhaps 2018.
Although i think the toyota was already in 2017 the better car then, they just didn't have the drivers.

hyundai is a total failure.

You could also argue that in 2019 the car was still up for it but by then Toyota has managed to build an absolute weapon, fact is, since 2019 they took the driver’s championship each year, doesn’t seem as if it’s gonna change any time soon.

I was watching a few onboards yesterday and the general impression was that drivers like Ogier and Loeb pushed full speed in the not so rough sections but were as slow as anyone else in the rough parts.
It was the ability to immediatelly change pace that made the difference (didn't see much Rovanpera or Katsuta yet).

Breen, Solberg etc had similar speed as them on the rough parts but didn't push in the others.
Fourmaux tried pushing everywhere on Saturday morning and immediatelly broke the car.
Neuville seemed to bounce/smash notably more than Toyotas, not easy to always tell if IT was driver or car+settings bouncing much more

Rovanpera impressive again, but hardly surprising. And I'm impressed at his performance relative to his teammates - mostly Evans - since they're the only possible measurement.
As expected, Sunday cruising for Toyota 1-2-3-4 with no drama. Only drama being Hyundais falling apart, but when it's expected then it's not drama anymore.
Good job by Neuville for winning the Rally1,5 category and 5th overall. Do the people who were saying Neuville should have settled for 5th-6th in Sardegna for the championship still believe it would have mattered anything?
In my opinion, the most boring championship-wise season I can remember, maybe even more than Ogier's VW dominance. Maybe it's because I was expecting more of a fight after Ogier's retirement.

Keep doing the same thing, and expecting a different result. A few wins per season, too many low scores/ retirements don't win championships...... He really needs to go somewhere else. Where that is, I've no idea.
