[WRC] Rally Sweden 2026

Definitely not. I don’t know how you came to this conclusion

They mentioned it in commentary.

(PS. I just worked out his average stage position without his 3 big time loss stages and it is 4th fastest.

So he would've been battling with Solberg which is no disgrace in Sweden.)

About Sesks: what all are missing - his situation is similar to Sunninen at Ford - he was asked to perform without normal PETs and car developments - he started to overdrive. I asked before Swe in the Msport chat, if anyone had seen any footage from Msport PET? Basically Sesks tests the car on shakedowns. What do we all expect? In addition, he can not drive safe - then situation would be like last year - when Msport asked him to finish on unknown rallies, everybody were saying he was slow (again, with limited testing and seattime). When he pushes with all the limitations - everybody says he is overdriving.

I think you are very possibly right, and I hope you are.

Sesks should be here full time, no doubt about it.

In an ideal world, he'd get a deal something like Pajari. But he's neither rich nor Japanese nor Finnish.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Yep, it's a pity but until he gets a full-time seat he will never be able to show his true ability. Even full-time at M-Sport would make a big difference. If only he was Irish...

Let's just hope that someone will consider him seriously if there will be more teams in WRC in future and especially over Munster, which in my opinion isn't anybodys choice.

Fire that guy

Everything has gone wrong since he joined IMO

Seems like FX Demaison should be removed (again) first as this sounds engineering related.....

What can you do with fundamentally wrong car?

[deephouse]

What if he doesn't even working on WRC project at all and is more or less in Genesis WEC project. And since the car is retiring at the end of season I think they actually didn't do much work at all, lost motivation already. Don't know. The best thing I think they really do is to bring Paddon back. But not much on the car. I think that (even if I constantly repeat myself) the first who should be fired is Abudabu. And hire someone with actual WRC background. And maybe start working as a team and nor individual (as Toyota suggested)

Hyundai disappointed in Sweden: "We realized it would be more difficult than expected."...

Maybe Neuville should also take some responsibility for the situation.

As he admitted at the start of the rally, 'Unfortunately we (he) always start like this and we are fine tuning the car before we get something fast.'

But then said, 'At least we have got a feeling for it and know which way to go'.

However the following day he was completely lost.
