Disagree, if I can because I've only watched a few stages. Watching onboard the speed and the lines taken was like reading poetry or listening to an orchestra. It didn't matter what the other guy's time to beat was, it was that each driver had to beat themselves, which is the art of driving.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

I think a tarmac rally like this has it's value and can easily be part of the championship instead of another generic gravel event.

Personally I never understood the sidways = spectacular thought process.

Go watch DTM or GT racing series then

instead of another generic gravel event.

That touched a nerve

Silly comment.

"Go watch Autocross" Gravel, sideways action, but crucially not rallying so not really a substitute.

I know people from countries were the national championships are mostly gravel prefer that usually, but there is a place for tarmac.

Well I'd rather have TdC than a Portugal copy.

Of course there is. World championship of 14 rounds has, officially, 3 tarmac rounds. Not enough.

If it were half or more we might even contemplate that the GT manufacturers were involved, which they should be.

There are some drives that rellyied on luck to win titles over de years.
But definitivly Solberg don't has that gift.

When we see the Ogier's powerstage time, we understand that that french was also on the limit fighting with Oliver. But when it comes to luck, Ogier is the champion.

Oliver had crazy amount of luck with his offs in Monte and Sweden. But such luck can not last forever. He is over the limit too much
