Glad that WRC is about once a month. With this time I can recover from this underperforming Hyundai.

... and I'll give you "post of the rally", sir.

I am surprised how much the switch to non-hybrid/Hankook has hurt Hyundai, especially on tarmac. They really are on the back foot, and the Evo car hasn’t made it any better that’s for sure.
I genuinely thought Tanak would beat Evans today. Actually, Evans deserves some credit today, I also didn’t think he would beat Kalle in PS or super Sunday, and he did both.
Now Japan can be a bit tactical, nobody wants to be first on the road in Saudi with only a small points lead. Better to drop points and be 3rd on the road I would imagine.
If Evans can keep a good gap, or increase it, then maybe its ok.

So Seb has to go to Saudi, let's see. When is the entry list out?

Good win by Kalle, but he's still 13 points behind in the standings. He needs to win Japan as well.
I just hope Saudi won't be too much of a lottery for starting positions and punctures, but I have this suspicion...

A dry, dusty rally to end the season is a bit 'rubbish'......the championship leader will likely not be able to challenge. If we must have Saudi, then have it another time of the season.......

Massive cleaning, awful lot of punctures, technical issues. That will be the roughest rally of the season.

Which is a shame for the last round of the season... I'd like the last rally of the season to be on asphalt, it's the most fair for all title contenders.
