    Surprised over the lack of comments after Rally Turkey finish...

    Maybe rally ended like most of us wanted?

    (Not that I wanted Tanak out the way it happened)

    Looked at Fantasy WRC. Point scoring system must be way wrong in my opinion.

    Tidemand almost scored as much points as Tanak. Anyone?

    Every stage position in top 15 (top 10 on short stages) gives points. Tidemand drove almost all stages in top 10. Tänak skipped five stages and was outside top 15 on two on Sunday.

    One thing I dislike about their system is the driver pricing - car has no effect on the value. This way Østberg in the R5 could more expensive than Tidemand in the WRC car.

    People tend to predict things very early.

    With the two passes of Marmaris power stage Tänak showed IMO how much he had held back so far on this rally.

    and interesting comment from him that "We knew the hards wont work for us"
    Tanak was not holding back. Did u not listen to tanak on Friday... He said he was maximum. Tanak was only one today who saved tyres and had Zero to lose. None of the Toyotas were competitive.. Full stop

    Not as wanted but the excitement was gone long time ago. Today there wasn't any position change. Only potential one (without puncture or technical issue) was between Mikkelsen and Suninen, but trend was clearly supporting Mikkelsen and it was clear after first stage in the morning that it will be really-really boring next 2 stages.

    Even powerstage was boring - because it was clear, that Tänak-Ogier-Neuville will be 1-2-3, and only question was, in which order. Others basically weren't allowed to fight for PS points.

    well everybody is entitled to their own opinion and i didnt mean with that he would have had exactly the same pace as today on PS stage

    Latvala saying they made the wrong choices in the test https://translate.google.ee/translat...a-valintoja%2F

    Actually all the Toyota`s managed to grab a stage win...for sure Tänak wasn`t on full max. attack the days before. Yes, he wouldn`t have been as fast, as he was today with a light car+ slow driving, but definitely he was already taking care of the car before, trying to manage something in Top5 and hoping for others to have problems.

    It just wasn't a very eventful Sunday. No battles, slow cruising for some, top three in championship the fastest in PS

    Not much to talk about really, compared to fri-sun. Except for that the championship is tightened again

    Also, this power stage was really bad imo in terms of commentary. I've already stated before that I much rather prefer the all live stages compared to the live TV ones. However this one especially, John going on and on about uninteresting things without meaning. I quickly started filtering out the chatter and just watched, with the commentary mostly as background noise
