I wonder If Ogier would be really doing the rest of the championship. He could be a big danger for championship contenders with loosing only just 25 points or something like that after Latvia.

Yes, he looked worried at his dash.

You could hear his engine was making pulsing sound, like his RPM were jumping when he approached time control at the stage end.

It would be great for the championship, but my opinion is, that he is coward. Doing this when Kalle isn't doing the whole just prove it. He could step up next year, but we all know and he also, that he doesn't have a chance.

He's doing what he enjoys and what Toyota asked as Latvala confirmed they need to play all their trump cards to fight Hyundai.

Yes the only reason the 8-times in 3 teams world champion with tons of money and a small kid at home is not doing full season is cause he is afraid he won't win.

On a more real note:
I think him doing more rounds is a combination of 3 things:
-Toyota need it for many champ
- New point system dimishes value of "win" for part timers and also makes it possible to try for championship
- and obviously he is not cleaning unlike just about all his career including a period with 2 day cleaning

The fact that promotor doesn't show Ott's banner moment in highlights, is full soviet-like censorship.

Yes! They shot them self in the foot yet again by conveniently forgetting to show it. "The stage was red flagged because of debris from Evans excursion." Not a single mention of Tanäk. F**** joke.

Biggest joke is that they didn't get the new plane and we don't have a tv coverage

It's not just a matter of changing planes. There is equipment to be installed, some of which requires certifying. It's not practical to have spare plane sitting on the tarmac.

Just one of those things. Shit happens as they say.

That was live on my TV on an estonian channel. Should be a 20-30s delay. All live is more delayed
