Sad news. I think that is not good news at all for Ogier, they say it’s not related, well must be a big coincidence….
Think there may be repercussions from this to stop such enthusiastic driving on recce open roads, from the photos it looked like Ogier cut a left hand bend on the wrong side of the road. I assume police will have the footage etc so if there is any blame then he could be in big big trouble. I’m sure we will hear more.Last edited by J4MIE; 1st July 2024 at 12:09.
If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

That’s hard to hear
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ogier says now that he is done for this season#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

I believe recce speed limits are now controlled and enforced by GPS in the recce cars.
That said fixed speed limits are obviously not as safe everywhere.

That's true. He's super fast on rallies like Poland and Latvia, but he's not that fast on tarmac. Some examples:

But it's still a pleasure to watch him, both in action and in interviews. He has such a positive personality, that he almost doesn't fit in modern WRC!http://www.rallymadness.prv.pl - rally photos and movies!

Pls point to modern times, e.g, past 30-40 years, young and promising driver who would be competitive on both surfaces immediately out of the block. As I said earlier - you can not learn natural speed - either it is there or not. His speed this weekend was great - you can not learn it by having driven those roads before. I hope his very smart team are aware of his shortages on tarmac. That is coachable.
