sqdstr 98 Posted January 26 So, team orders already at Toyota? Evans having to slow down to let Ogier pass or just not Evans' day today? What do u guys think, would be a real shame for Evans really to have to let Ogier ahead of him after such a great rally where he was faster than Ogier most of the time.

UnderclassGDfan 339 Posted January 26 Conspiracy after the first rally just finished!? Wow... 🤣 No, I think Ogier got better, and Evans just wasn't fast enough today. Anyway, strong performance of Neuville. Well done! I was surprised about Loeb making mistakes like that and being generally slow compared to the Top 3. I thought he is more consistent with 9 Titles. And disappointed about M-Sport Ford being behind quite much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow... 🤣 When it comes to Ogier you never know, at M-Sport it was just the same, even at the beginning of the season. All for Ogier, other Ford drivers were only there for backup and not to be ahead of him even if they were faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UnderclassGDfan 339 Posted January 27 🤣 Tricky, icy corner there. Looked like half of the grid failed there 😂 The thumbnail was quite funny, too 😃 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tbtstt 2,195 Posted January 27 Decent event to kick the year off with, incredible surge from Neuville yesterday and a very impressive start to the year for Evans. Roll on Sweden! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loeb doesn't drive all the events anymore though. He just does a few here and there. He's basically semi-retired now. Last year he only did 6 of the events. It was more than likely already-scheduled that Breen would replace him for Sweden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, it was announced that Loeb and Sordo would share the car (which left a couple of openings where no-one was scheduled, e.g Finland), but neither Breen, nor Mikkelsen were scheduled to do any rallies for Hyundai. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
