[Fast Eddie WRC]

What an amazing event this is!
Neuville and Fourmaux not too far off putting their name on a certain stone in Ouninpohja!

This is what Ouninpohja should look like ! Great job !

(The RallyTV coverage of it was garbage. All they showed of any excitement was the yellow house jump and even that wasn't well-filmed. Any casual viewer would wonder what all the fuss was about... )

If I were Fourmaux, and I had a full drive at M-Sport in prospect, I would be leery about Hyundai. They seem like a Bermuda Triangle for promising careers. He should get a big pay rise and a cast iron contract to drive every rally before he thinks about it. And then he should think carefully.

But that's what Malcolm's business plan is that he supposed to get his return when Fourmaux is off to another manufacturer for big bucks and it seems that he is ready now. As I understand he is already talking and from rally to rally his cards getting stronger and stronger.

It's good for him to stick to the story, rather than saying options in his contract are being triggered by Toyota because he's got ineffectual team mates.

You can tell from this article he's really motivated to get that 9th and be level with Loeb means a lot to him: https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/point...of-the-season/ Sure, sure sure sur su

On 30th of March I posted this: "Just watch how WDC moulds up around the driver who is destained to earn it - small things that go right way, small "luck" moments etc. This is Thierry year! After 57 seasons he is finally on the track to become a champion - it comes his way. Lets hope he does not f.... it up.".

Seems I was right - events around him point to one direction. Even though I wanted Tanak to win, i would be ok with Neuville also.

It is still a long way to go a d that tricky Japan can throw few surprises. But at least he has a buffer now.

I was being sarcastic for those trying to convince me earlier that the things you and I both cannot read here are actually happening.

But yes they have edited out a lot of text where he apparently blamed the points system for being the reason he is reluctant to compete.

Very sad situation.

Fourmaux would fit in to the Hyundai car very well as a Frenchman and he also has a good relationship with Thierry. It is the best driver Hyundai can hire for the next season... But from his perspective, it is a big risk..

[denkimi]

Unfortunately I have to agree. It is a little bit sad to see actually that he is not getting any support but there can be some things that we do not know. Judging from Pajaris outing maby they already decided to drop him for next year in Pajaris favor.

Nobody is gonna replace evans by pajari. Depending on what ogier and rovanpera will do they might put him in the 3th or 4th car.

I know this is really besides the point and a bit off topic but I really hope Toyota take notice next year and make a livery somewhere in-between the lines of Rovanperä ‘s car, Pajari’s & Latvala’s pretty cool red rally 2 Yaris.

This! The black "livery" is horrible.
