Rally Discussion and Bar Talk Thread

[flat_right]

Yesterday, after the rally, I was wondering if Seb had retired for good... It would’ve been a walk in the park for Ott. But even as a diehard Ott fan, I prefer the current situation as it's much more exciting

An interesting statistic was put together in the Estonian Rally Forum: Ott Tänak vs Sébastien Ogier.

Portugal + Sardinia + Greece: 1010 km, and the gap between the two is 16.6 seconds in Ott’s favor. Evans is next, +11 minutes behind.

Out of 57 stages, Ott or Séb has won 42.

Opening the road on these 3 events hampered Evans and better positions favoured Tanak & Ogier.

Evans doing some more runs, Pajari, McErlean and Tanak too plus an interview where he calls the FOS Stage 'super demanding'.

Also interview with JML on the WRC and his historic Celica which he's driving here (and his Rally2 car for Finland).

This afternoon there was a nice interview with 4 of the McRae Family on the 30th Anniversary of Colin's WRC Title which is being celebrated here.

Zero experience of driving it and he's whipping it round and getting air over the jumps. I enjoyed watching that.

Think I've said before that co-drivers could do a super special or something now and again. It's within the spirit of the sport.

Goodwood day 4, with the official timed runs that count for the shoot-out. Latvala is the fastest so far in his old Celica !
