In terms of reliability this year it's:
Ford > Citroen (fuel pressure issues in Finland) > Hyundai (Neuville - Mexico, Corsica PS (neither of them rally-ending), Mikkelsen - Monte, Portugal, Sardinia) > Toyota (all 3 Mexico, Latvala - Sardinia, Germany, also "partly" some of the suspension failures (JML -argentina, portugal, Tanak - portugal, sardinia)
----------------------------------------
As to Latvala, while it doesn't look like his fault here in Germany, he was also the only one out of the 3 Polos that had so many issues and very often "suspension failures" from hitting rocks on the side. Same now in Toyota (Agentina, Portugal), so might have to do with driving style.
Tanak in Portugal seemed to have a bit lower ride height than the others and the front got lower just before the rocks. The jump in Sardinia was quite massive as well. Yes the Toyota seems more fragile, but it's not like they were completely innocent impacts.
( a bit like Hyundai suspension issues in Germany and Spain last year)Last edited by mknight; 19th August 2018 at 07:54.

Veiby is not in WRC2 so probably just taking it easy and learning the rally.

A bit over the top from Tanak tbh.
It's rally. Yes Neuville is lucky here, in other rallies others were lucky.
For example in Mexico Neuville was massively unlucky with the car issues on day 1m that cost him starting position for rest of rally. Similarly in Argentina Tanak was lucky when he just bent the steering on day 1 while Latvala with similar impact destroyed the suspension.

Cool story from JML. Toyota should ban pee outside a service to prevent car issues.
Scenery is nice, but Rally2's on these type of roads aren't that interesting to watch at least
