I have rewatched the clip multiple times now and Meeke was so lucky, that could so easily have been a retirement there. Fair play to Citroen, the C3 may have some handling issues on other surfaces, but it seems to be a tough car. Three different winners, from three different manufacturers in the first three rounds. Tarmac next, I wonder who will perform best? Well it's time for Neuville, isn't it? :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have a really good bodyshop at Citroen Racing, but they are up to their eyes most of the time - :pThe guy looks like a proper rally fan, he seems quite chuffed that Meeke wrecked his CC lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirPhilMcKraken 279 Posted March 13, 2017 It'll buff out! And yeah he looks very pleased haha, love the hat!At the Dirt 4 announcement event, Kris was on the D-box and majorly cut a corner and immediately got reset back on the track. He looked around and asked us if he could restart, had a childlike look on his face :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dytut 89 Posted March 13, 2017 Hahahaha!!Kris is completely silent the whole time, but poor Paul died a little inside when it happened.Compression and bounce - "Jesus Christ Kris! Oh noo" - off to the parking - "How are we going to get out of here" - "I told you..." - Paul Nagle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ALF 8 Posted March 13, 2017 So far, this has been the best Season in a very long time, no doubt.To get things more interesting, Neuville wins in France and Ogier breaks the car, being forced to retire :p Bring on Corsega!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogani 756 Posted March 13, 2017 Ogier will continue being on the Podium each event. I'm afraid he'll be far ahead in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RallyDriven 398 Posted March 13, 2017 Ogier has had his gearbox sealed for 'further inspection in europe' apparently, possibly something wrong. Could potentially lose his second place in Mexico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KevM 44 Posted March 13, 2017 The officials of the rally of Mexico took a lot of time yesterday before publishing the final ranking of the race but this one remains still in suspense. Indeed the final positions of Sébastien Ogier, Ott Tanak and Lorenzo Bertelli are reserved.The Commissioners' attention is focused on the Ford Fiesta RS WRC gearbox, which obviously does not respect the regulations to the letter. It is possible that the three competitors are disqualified, are penalized with a time penalty or their team may simply be fined. All cases have already been seen in the past. Ogier's # 1 car seems to be particularly at the center of the discussions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brings Prokop to mind, but it could also be some experimental part M-Sport jammed in there to see if it would fix any reliability issues.On the topic of the standings, things are looking good! Latvala is only eight points behind, and if he happens to win and score one more point than Ogier on the power stage in Corsica he'll hop ahead. I doubt Toyota will see a win next month, but who knows? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
