[WRC] Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2026

[EstWRC]

Watching Ogier's push on PS, I need to admit that for the entertainment and the show on the PowerStage there is a need for 2 retired champs - Rovanperä and Tänak.

There is need for them anyway in competitive cars for the series and also championship

[meh]

"holy shit" and "fuck up" from Taka stage end interview... some side-effect from phone calls with Tänak?

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Solberg safely to the end. He needed that big time.

[meh]

Congrats to Hyundai!

And quite a respect for Neuville as well. I guess there was some pressure from a PS mistake from the last rally, but he delivered it well.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Chapeau to Neuville for pressing on through the PS with no fear.

Wow. Hyundai winning a rally this season

Didn’t see this coming

[meh]

Solberg did a jump-start on the podium

(started to celebrate with champagne too early)

What Hyundai actually changed that they were so competitive this weekend? In service park I heard something about engine upgrade. Have you heard some details?

I don't think they changed anything fundamentally to be good on gravel, they just have a fundamental problem with the car being good on tarmac. The head of Hyundai pointed out many times that Japan will be difficult again and they hope to be better after that.

finally a win for hyundai, and not even just because all toyota's crashed out.
