travel wise it would make sense, but IIRC Sordo did Japan a few times already so he has fresher notes and experience there
>>
>>153986662
he did it in 2023 and had the fire in 2022. I guess maybe it will depend on whether Sordo wants to do it or not like at Monte where neither Dani nor EP wanted to sit in the car so hyundai was left with paddon
The next rally with Lappi will be Estonia afaik
>>
>>153992165
i still pray ott is doing his yearly rally in estonia in the yaris and absolutely mogs every other toyota driver
>>
>>153992137
>>153992165
I was thinking that Sordo would do Canarias and Portugal plus maybe one of the rounds in South America.
still not sure about Acropolis, I think it's going to be Sordo there too since he last competed in 2024?
sucks a bit because I was looking to get an autograph from Lappi and Enni but I can make peace with it as long as it's not Paddon
>>
>>153992188
Lappi will definitely do Estonia and Finland, and he won't do any other flyaway rally as far as I know, but ofc he was in Kenya so the flyaway bit already got broken
>>
im so mad that I want to attend rally croatia, its in our fucking neighbour, and life throws sg every year so I can't.

With the CL coming back next week, it will need a miracle to stay alive.
Also
>ERX
This thing still exists ?

Also also, nobody saw that Loeb won in Portugal in W2RC, last week-end. Sad.

The 307 is such a beautiful rally car

I don't know anything about the car but one of the navigators was alongside "Leonidas" when he won a ERC round in 1988.
there are two different license plates for the Sportage, I'm guessing they had to go through some hoops to standardize them or something.

Its a huge cope but to be fair when the contenders outside of Solberg are Evans and half schedule Seb then who the hell knows who will win the thing. And heck, maybe getting that first win shakes some of those choke genes off Taka and he completes more events without binning it from the podium.

You're doing an excellent work, so far, my man. Can you do one of Solberg's crash from that left roof cam ? Would have love to do one, but I can't rewind on acestrim.

Totally agree.
In the meantime, I found another POV of Solberg's crash.
He went way too fast into that corner.
>>
Now that Evans & Solberg are out. Who's gonna win? My money is on Neuville
>>
>>154171235
Is it the first time that Sami's first after the first loop ?
I wonder how he will deal with it, knowing that tarmac isn't his favorite thing. But as I said earlier, this is a golden opportunity for Thierry and Hyundai.

btw if they finish in this order, Taka is leading the championship, 6 points ahead of Evans
Also bc Soiberg and Elfyn binned it on the 1st and 2nd stages, I don't really think they can claw back to the overall points so they only have the super sunday and powerstage points to claim.
In this situation it's probably worth to change engine for solberg or park the car after the first saturday stage

>>154191388
Lancia getting arguably the two best drivers in WRC2 definitely helps. Wouldn't be surprised if they go with Rossel and Gryazin into WRC1 next year with the new specifications.
>>154183875
Hes got enough of a cushion where he can let off and cruise through the final stages tomorrow.
>>
>>154191341
I think thats more showing how the drivers around him have kinda fallen off. Really missing Ott and Kalle right now. Although Ott's luck and Hankook tires are probably a poor combination.
>>
>>154192440
Him winning Safari was entirely coincidental based on the electrical issues all the other Toyotas had after Sleeping Warrior. Reality is the Toyota is so overpowered compared to the Hyundai that the latter's best driver (Neuville) is basically relying on punctures to outrun the #4 and 5 Toyota drivers in Pajari and Taka.

We need the new specifications and hopefully other manufacturers will be more competitive.
>>
>>154192552
>the latter's best driver (Neuville) is basically relying on punctures to outrun the #4 and 5 Toyota drivers
It's wild how low Hyundie has fallen. The whole atmosphere in this team last year "nah we don't even know if we're participating in 2026", the Moncet saga, the loss of funding, what Neuville recently said that after every few weeks there's a bunch of new engineers because the old ones left and he has to explain the car all over again to them, so on and so forth. The 2019 world champion quitting the sport outright because the car isn't competitive and he's not that big of a masochist. That is not a healthy team by any margin. That is not the same team who managed to snatch the world champion from Toyota 1 day after he won the title.

I'm not a big fan of Thierry, but I really do hope nothing goes wrong and he takes this one. He has earned it after the sheer amount of cock and ball torture hes endured with Hyundai since he won his title.

I think Hyundai and M-Sport are looking towards 2027 anyway. GR is just on another level right now with regards to development. The regulations change is massively needed for WRC.
>>
>>154196139
the issue is rhat the original rally1 hyundai was fucked up hard and due to the retard upgrade token system hyundai was only able to develop the same amount as toyota so even if they pour endless money into the car development.
Also for the last 3 years they always only extended the program for 1 season, you can't have a long term vision and plan that way
>>
>>154198220
hyundai is not confirmed for 2027
But thierry will be on the entry list 100% as you can say anything about him but he loves the sport deeply, so I'm sure if nothing else, he will enter a private car with his own company
>>
broadcast is live

>>154199170

btw someone said about yesterday that the lot of punctures are mainly happened because people are cutting the corners like there is no tomorrow and try to hold on to their luck. After watching the highlights video from yesterday it seemed like there is a lot of truth in this
>>
Oliver isn't going to make this season easy for Elfyn is he
>>
aaaaand evans is slower
this is why he wont win a championship. Tanak, Ogier, Loeb or any of the greats would have parked up the car yesterday mid day to get ahead of solberg in road order for sunday
>>
>>154199367
I saw on the graphic yesterday that he has been the championship runner up FIVE TIMES. You would think after coming up short that many times and having won zero championships you would take risks, but he just won't. Unless Seb comes back and flukes another part time campaign, I think Oliver is going to cuck him for a sixth time.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Taka GOATsuta's talent. His driving is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of rallying strategies, most of his stages will go over a typical WRC fan's head. He has the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of rallying. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated Ott TanACCIDENT fans scratching their heads in confusion as GOATsuta's talent unfolds itself on the stage. And yes by the way, I DO have a Taka GOATsuta tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're not fans of Ott TanACCIDENT beforehand

Akio Toyoda (TGR-WRT Chairman)
> “This is rallying too... there are also times when you win like this. This one-two finish was possible because both Takamoto and Sami reached the finish. Congratulations to Takamoto and Aaron for taking their second consecutive win! And congratulations also to Sami and Marko for achieving three podiums in a row!”
>>
Juha Kankkunen (Deputy Team Principal)
> “We always want to win but we would never wish for something like this to happen to a competitor. It can and has happened to us before, so we know it’s not a nice feeling for a team or a driver. Nevertheless, it makes us happy to see Taka take his second win in a row, and to have a Japanese driver with a Japanese manufacturer leading the championship: this has never been done before. Both Taka and Sami were driving very well again this weekend, and it shows how strong our team is; that even if some of our drivers make mistakes, we have others who are also capable of winning.”

Toyoda is going to shell out even more money for WRC now
