[WRC] Rally Mexico 2023

[rp]

Actually ERC last weekend was much more exciting.

Much, much more! WRC is almost dead.

Did you guys really expected a interesting fight here on this rally?

It’s always like that with harsh rallies. We just had Sweden 3 weeks ago where there were close fights

I think the main issue (beyond the usual stuff) is the fact that Ogier is mucking about, instead of doing a full season; so his win here (assuming he will win) is pretty pointless to us, drivers’ championship wise. I think we can all agree the championship would be much more interesting if we had Ogier, Tänak, Neuville, Rovanperä all fighting for the title.

If Ogier would be doing full season, he would take the title easily this year.

If my grandma had wheels she would be a bus

Easily? I wouldn't be so sure. Easy is for a multi time champion performing well with good road position, but last year he wasn't up to his standards even with that rocket of the Yaris.

Last year Kalle was doing so great that it would have been difficult or even impossible for Ogier to beat him, but at the end of the season Ogier found something with the Yaris Rally1 and can handle it now.

Agreed.

And he is a Mexico specialist winning it 6 times , he even won with the shitty Citroen here back in 2019

Like you said, last year he didn’t look impressive on gravel rallies

He didn’t pick the rallies he wants to do for no reason. Monte and Mexico so far this year

No he wouldn’t with all due respect to mighty Ogier, he wouldn't've had the road position benefit he has now, & I don't think either of the current championship contenders would’ve made his life easy.
