Well, I was a bit wondering if M-Sport would be really able to enter 6 cars in case of problem in Ypres with the Pacific shipments coming soon after (+ at least 4 cars in Catalunya) but yeah, the damages from Ypres on Fourmaux’s car doesn’t sound that big.
More like a benching as you said or a will to save money/parts with maybe sponsors not wanting to put extra-money for all the cars he has broken (but as I told before, it should have been done earlier in the season).
However, with no Greece, I’m not sure he’s the best solution for NZ after that (would more see Loubet personally because it’s the last time this season M-Sport can use the road position). For Catalunya, it’s different as they don’t have many options for tarmac.
Well anyway, now, he is in the eye of the (shit)storm. Let’s see if he can answer as Solberg did in Ypres. It’s in that type of situation that you can reveal your character or fade completly.Last edited by Danny0405; 24th August 2022 at 12:09.

i think is in between...they could probably fix it in time with an extra effort, but probably is not worth it money and time wise. plus, it becomes an "educational" bonus...

Give it a rest with the constant sniping. I wouldnt blame Msport if they pulled out of WRC if all rally 'fans' were like you.
1. You dont know the facts of the damage
2. They dont have the resources of Toyota/ Hyundai
3. They run more Rally1 cars than anyone
If you want to blame anyone its Ford. But they aren't in great shape financially either...

Anybody know the best chance to snag an Autograph from a driver/co-driver? I was not sure if there is a meet and greet before Thursdays SS stage or if you have to just try to get one at the service park?

Didn't WEC has quite nice revival last few years? It's not exactly friendly series for short spam attention. This factor seems overexaggerated. For me, whether it's rally1 or rally2 is not as...
