[WRC] Rally Mexico 2023

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

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.

Non priority drivers are not fighting for a world championship, why would one be interested

Ah nice one. So you aren’t interested in Ogier, or the other Rally1 crews that aren’t and will never fight for a world championship.

Would be much easier to have WRC rallies that only have 6 cars allowed, would save everyone a lot of hassle.

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.

Greensmith looks to have gone well again.

Yes but in f1 you see those cars pass your corner 50 times. I WRC you see them once. Who would climb rocks to see 10 cars

You could ask the same question now yet still many people do, and lets face it, in a formula 1 race you barely see them for a second cause they go by so fast, so you end up looking at a big screen. Rallying isn’t for the faint of heart, yes it’s demanding but a) no one is forcing you to go and b) you’d have the ERC and would probably be cheaper and hey if it makes it popular and eventually kills the WRC, so be it.

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.

Yes, how difficult is it to understand?

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

this argument has no logic, maybe it's time for bed
