I'm also available for alcohol and food bribes if anyone is interested? -
Hope you're right, I like latvala too! There aren't really any drivers that I don't like or wouldn't want to win to be honest! -
Sordo is consistent, but consistently average. He won't be challenging for wins, but you can pretty much guarantee that he'll bring home manufacturers points on most rallies. I can't imagine that Hyundai would tell Paddon to reel anything in.
Latvala i I think is past his best unfortunately. He's still good, but I don't think he's a championship contender anymore. I rated Mikkelsen over him by a mile.
Breen has the least experience out of anyone remember, yet he's showing he can mix with the rest -
Yeah I heard Ogier said something about not liking the Yaris suspension. I think Seb definitely made the right choice in M-sport, not just because of his win yesterday -
Oh yeah, I know it's still early days, I was just going on what we've seen so far!KevM said:He half spun on a few icy hairpins. I'm not sure I'd say it was a design flaw just yet :) -
Yeah, I dont know a lot about it, but to me it looked like the Yaris was built to handle at high speeds with the aero, and at low speeds it just looked twitch and undrivable. Did you see how many times latvala spun on hairpins this weekend? -
Yeah good point, Tanak is also well up there and is improving. I think this season could be incredibly interesting, even if it does turn into Ogier dominance, the fight over the remaining places could be pretty good!Azoresst said:
Hum, I would agree with Neuville, Paddon and Meeke, but I would include Tanak too, If it wasn't the problems with the car he would have finished in 2nd and he showed some speed and consistency.RallyDriven said:Id say pretty much every driver has the speed to match Ogier, but none are as consistent as him at both maintaining that speed and keeping the car on the road. For me, the his biggest rivals are Neuville, Paddon and Meeke, with Breen showing a lot of potential, but maybe not this year -

I think Hyundai will be very strong this year, especially if Neuville is back in the same form he was in a few years back when he was in a fiesta. Hopefully Paddon isn't put off by this weekends events and continues his recent form, although we know his tarmac speed isn't brilliant.
Citroen is a bit unknown right now. I don't now why they didn't put Breen in the C3 this weekend instead of Lefervebevebevre.
Im not convinced on the Yaris from this weekend, it didn't look great through the slow corners. I'm guessing that all the aero works brilliantly on the fast stuff, but is possibly a hinderence on the slow corners
Ford, will, they've got Ogier, so that's an immediate advantage! The car didn't look as planted to the ground compared to the Hyundai -
-
Yeah, ogier definitely did not walk this, he had some luck on his side with everyone else hitting trouble, but even he himself hit trouble. There weren't many this weekend that didn't have an issue -
Yeah brands is a great tack, did it last year with my dad in our standard 1.4 MG, although we were on slicks in the wet!

Neuville was incredibly unlucky. Monte isn't a great place to determine speed because of the conditions. We probably won't get a proper understanding until maybe Sweden or one of the faster events later in the year -
Yeah I'm a bit annoyed, I forgot to cancel wrc+. Although RBTV doesn't have the final live stage, which can occasionally throw up some last minute drama. Speaking of which, Tanak is haveinf engine problems, missing cylinders apparently -
It's my brothers car, I don't normally co drive for him, we were just doing it for a bit of fun and seeing how the car would go after an engine and gearbox rebuild, so he is definitely not going to be happy. Well, when he wakes up, think he went out and got pretty drunk last night! -
We're not too sure, engine just seemed to seize without much warning -
That's rally, sometimes it's incredibly unfair, a small mistake can have a huge punishment,whereas someone else will get away with a big mistake -
Didn't use to have rally2 at all. And yeah, there are pretty bad conditions this yeah, which is odd as I've heard the skiing season across France has been awful, lots of places are having droughts -
As per usual with my rallying videos, excuse the swearing, but here's what we managed of Brands Hatch before the car packed up! Didn't really manage to get into the swing of things before it was all over!

I was really hoping for a Neuville win. Still, it would be nice to see m-sport get a 1-2! The Hyundai is looking like the better car so far though, looks very planted compared to the fiesta -
I'm back annoyingly early from my first rally of 2017, never great when you can fit a whole day's rallying into a 4 minute video! :( -
I hope it's dominoes.

Monte is a lot down to strategies and luck. Road positions make a big diiference, and so do tyres. It's very easy to gain and lose huge margins -
Toyota is reliant on latvala then! I remember hyundai's debut a few years back Thierry chew shed and sordo broke down, didn't make it through the first day!
Monte has has been a bit chaotic so far, with Evans, Ogier and Lefrebrvevebe having offs. The atmosphere on the stages still looks in high spirits despite yesterday though
