2024 WRC News & Rumours

[AE1WRC]

Right guys !! Once again congrats to Thierry and Martijn for their title and also Toyota for the manufactures championship. Now that the season is officially completed:
1) What are the top 3 performances of the season?
2) Best 3 drivers of the season ?
3) The most disappointing drivers of the season?

Now that I think about it... first time that (in recent memory) we've had 3 fast gravel rallies in the calendar instead of 2, first time Neuville gets the title, even though it's his least favourite type of rally.

1) What are the top 3 performances of the season?
2) Best 3 drivers of the season ?
3) The most disappointing drivers of the season?

1) I'll give you the 4 that impressed me: Neuville at Monte (only perfect score and won in Ogier's backyard), Kalle in Poland (little preparation), Neuville at Acropolis (only one avoiding punctures and mistakes), Tanak in CER (finally very fast on asphalt)
2) Neuville, Fourmaux and Sesks (who just edges Pajari... the other "big" drivers made too many mistakes)
3) Many have reasons to be disappointed in their championship (Tanak, Evans, Ogier), but I say Ogier for 3 consecutive serious mistakes that put him out of the title chase

To me it's clear that he was after driver's title more than manufacturer.

Yes, Tanak fkd up with that crash and point loss.. but now once the team leader got the WDC, Mr Yabadabaduu starts to blame it all to him..? ,,super clear instructsions'' my ass..

All the year there have been ,,clear instructsions'' but at the end they are still the same ,,Tanak can push to the max, but not too much to annoy Neuville''.

It was obvious that Tanak's off wasn't gonna sit well with Hyundai executives from the moment it costed them the title. Think there will be more coming in the future...

Yes, the instructions in this case were super clear, don't bin the manufacturers title.
