[WRC] Tet Rally Latvia 2024

[Morte66]

I was a bit underwhelmed with this rally. The drivers were mostly sorted into road position order on Friday, and mostly stayed there for the rest of the rally.

The stages on Friday were not so great but they started to pick up Saturday, and SS 12 was very good. Then we lost visuals for a lot of it.

Tanak was seriously impressive. I feel like everybody has been warned.

My guys Evans and Pajari did as well as I expected but not quite as well as I hoped.

Heikkila was good — hats off.

I'm not sure what to make of Sesks. He did very well, but then we knew he was pretty good and he had all the advantages. If Lappi had had this rally with this road position I wouldn't have raised an eyebrow, but Sesks is new. He looks like he could be somebody's third driver for gravel. I think the most interesting thing is that he seemed just as happy in the hybrid as the non-hybrid, and happier in his first WRC1 hybrid outing than Lappi did after six months off WRC1. I bet a few people at Hyundai are looking at Lappi and Mikkelsen with questions.
