F2CMaDMaXX 518 Posted January 18, 2019 Ogier is good at consistency if nnothing else, if the citreon is too slow, he won't over drive it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rallystu2 716 Posted January 18, 2019 Seb Loeb is gonna bin it, I reckon. Ogier will always be competitive but Neuville will win it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RodgerDavies 949 Posted January 18, 2019 Loeb knackered from Dakar and Neuville will struggle under the pressure; Ogier and Tanak will fight it out, with the winner determined by Tanak going off the road temporarily on SS10. Not to be too specific. Rovanpera to win WRC2 with Bonato breaking down on Friday and Sarazzin and Greensmith going off the road. Evans will destroy Suninen.Not to be too specific. I've no idea about Tidemand or Lappi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dytut 92 Posted January 18, 2019 Lappi is a bit of a wildcard, will be interesting to see how he'll do. Tidemand will be aiming for keeping up with Suninen, anything faster than that and he'll be outperforming his expectations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gfRally 465 Posted January 22, 2019 Not sure where to put this, but its all but officially confirmed that Oliver Solberg is coming to the USA to rally. Rumor has it that he might bring the VW R5, but also heard Subaru is getting him a car. Hope its the VW. He has shown up on a couple of lists now, one of them I believe receiving a rally license from ARA. Yea this is more Gossip, and not WRC but it would get buried today with the Germany DiRT presentation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbtstt 2,445 Posted January 22, 2019 Apparently he tested in a Subaru last year. If you want to win in American rally then Subaru is the team to drive for but, in order to keep it interesting, I'd like to see the Polo R5 in the US. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dytut 92 Posted January 22, 2019 Finally get to see Loeb drive the i20:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-Td3OB7Na0Dunno, it seems to look good at least :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbtstt 2,445 Posted January 22, 2019 Further to my previous post I have just seen a comment on Facebook suggesting that Oliver Solberg will be the third driver for Kristoffersson Motorsport in 2019 and participating in rally events only this year. Will Kristoffersson Motorsport go to the US? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gfRally 465 Posted January 22, 2019 There is a rather well known name in American rally here that claims to have knowledge that he is coming here, and like I said he is on the list of participants competing over here. That doesn’t always come to fruition but its a step.... it will teally up the anti for SRTUSA and will hopefully create a good season like 2013 when Bllock competed a full season. Subaru revised thier whole car after that season because of the pressure Block put on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just Latvia and Estonia confirmed for Oliver in that article. And probably some WRC rounds once he turns 18 later in the year. So no indications of US outing with KMS.

juu1ius 5 Posted January 23, 2019 I don't think it makes sense to ship VW R5 for USA event, they are still quite few around and who knows who is actually paying for it, don't think it's Solbergs own money. I mean, if its Subaru, then no way it's VW :DNice overview who is driving in WRC, WRC2PRO and WRC2: https://twitter.com/PushingPace/status/1087889473000669184 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RallyDriven 398 Posted January 24, 2019 WRC+ are showing shakedown live this morning! Good to see that they are doing that now. Also the camera angles are looking much better, with new telemetry on screen too. I only had a quick look whilst at work, but it looked good. Unfortunately I’m going out to a gig tonight so I’ll be missing the start! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rallystu2 716 Posted January 24, 2019 I haven't got the wrc+ yet this year. I'm getting a new t300 and r383 rim, combined with my dirt rally 2.0 pre order I've blown my budget. Hopefully have it for Sweden though. Channel 5 still have highlights do you know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RallyDriven 398 Posted January 24, 2019 Personally I think All live is well worth it. The commentary is much better on all live than the basic package with Jon Desboring. And being able to watch it all as it happens is really great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
