[WRC] Croatia Rally 2023

Shame it ended with the top 2 settling for their overall places.

That's how it goes when they know that there's little to gain and a lot to lose.

I think he won stages here last year and they expected him to improve. I've only seen how far he is of the lead and didn't read here about any big problems so I guess he was lost here?

Im sure he didnt win any stages here last year and he was 6th overall.

Hes been lost on almost every rally he entered

[meh]

and Ogier still leading ...

Amazing how tight the standings look

Thierry actually didn’t loose much with this rally. Just 11 points adrift

Greensmith took the WRC2 power stage win.

Impressive speed again from him this weekend when he wasn’t having punctures.

Congrats to Evans!

Glad that Tänak delivered nice points despite all the problems he had again. Punctures for Ogier and Rovanperä gave bonus for sure.

Glad that Lappi reached to the finish and got podium for the team.

It was nice that they did not canceled the rally. It was not funerals, it was enjoyable rally, and Breen was remembered and respected.

Takeaway - people should be also that much valued when/till they are alive.

Im really happy Evans broke the curse. And he did it on an event that the curse started on

Greensmith took the WRC2 power stage win.

Impressive speed again from him this weekend when he wasn’t having punctures.

I don't see much difference between him and the other 3 Fabia drivers (Gryazin, Solberg, Lindholm), also considering he just did a test rally and drove here every year. Sure relative to expectation before the season that can be seen as impressive.

When Rossel beats them all by over 10s on the first stage, it is easy to see the punctures as pressure-induced errors.

Curse of result yes.

Curse of speed (with Rally1) not (yet?), effectively he was 4th fastest car over the weekend.
