RallyDriven 398 Posted February 20, 2017 It was quite fast, but he got away with very little damage. Think he was back out later, they probably just checked everything over and replaced the broken rear bumper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, on top of FIA cancelling stages due to too high speeds we would get stages cancelled because of Camilli wrapping his C3 around a tree every rally :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

versedi 39 Posted February 21, 2017 He actually was proposed C3 WRC at the time (2015 iirc) but didn't had a codriver confirmed yet so he turned down the offer. Shame.I think he wouldn't crash more than others do. This is rally, no risk no reward. If we're pointing fingers let's look at Colin in the past, or at Lukyanuk currently.

juu1ius 5 Posted February 27, 2017 What are the predictions for Mexico? Meek, Neuville, Paddon - all have really good starting positions and it depends how much time Ogier and Tänak will loose on the first loop. If the gap is less than 30s after day on, it's still possible. So I'm thinking that, the battle goes between Hyundai and M-Sport pilots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
versedi 39 Posted February 27, 2017 I'll stay out of predicitons - IMHO Mexico is even more unpredictable than Monte Carlo. For first the cars are being tested for real 1st time this season - Mexico conditions are really harsh!Second thing - Mexico is really about a luck due to alot of smaller and big rocks - if you won't get a puncture you're in top5. Anyway, I was supposed to stay out, so I won't ^^Ogier, Latvala, Tanak.Neuville.Meeke (hopefuly) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dytut 89 Posted February 27, 2017 I think Tänak will snatch Mexico if he doesn't run into trouble. Ogier and Neuville probably P2-3. Suspect the Yaris will show to be down on power in the heights, but Latvala will being home a P4-6 after some trouble. Paddon is my dark horse, he can be anywhere from P1 to P10.Don't think Citroën will be in form for Mexico, suspect they won't be ready until Argentina.

Latvala has got a crappy road position, but I think he has the chance to win, or at least finish in the top 3. The Yaris has now surprised on two occasions. I've no doubt it could surprise on one more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the Yaris can surprise again, especially with happy-JML at the wheel :-) But they haven't had that much high altitude testing and the team has never been there, so I kind of expect some minor troubles.

SRD_SimVansevenant 863 Posted February 27, 2017 I hope Neuville will win this one. He absolutely deserves it. And I hope he wins the last round of the season as well ending up on the top spot with 1 point ahead of second and 4 points ahead of third. That would be one hell of a season final. But for Mexico I think Neuville, Tanak, Ogier, Latvala and Paddon as the top 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madness! I can top both of those: imagine Kubica in a C3! :D Lol, I liked Kubica. Sure he crashed out quite a bit but that man is a true driver. Almost loses his arm in a crash and chooses to go and focus on the very motor sport that injured him. I still wonder how he would have done if he got some consistency as when he didn't crash out he wasn't bad at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get me wrong, Kubica is spectacular behind the wheel and the clips of him on the limit were some of the best from the last few years. The man did like like driving over the limit though.

Dytut 89 Posted March 3, 2017 Asch, just realized that the 80km Guanajuato stage won't return for this year. That stage would've been a real reliability test for the cars. The two passes through El chocolate on saturday will have to do I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RallyDriven 398 Posted March 3, 2017 My bets on Neuville. Maybe literally, I may place a bet on it!Am I the only one who doesn't like Bertelli's car? Not a fan of the Chrome, and I don't particularly like the bottom of it either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine dark roof :] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a fan of the Chrome, and I don't particularly like the bottom of it either It just doesn't look like a proper rally car. More like something out of a comic. Would fit better on a circuit, in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
