Hyundai need to throw everything at this event now as it could be the only one they win all year - such is the gulf in performance between Toyota Gazoo Racing and everyone else
After watching Croatia Rally yesterday - what carnage!
Oliver out on the first stage was shocking - but I feel he has a mistake in him at every event
Elfyn had a chance to take a march on the championship but a rare mistake saw the crew out. Such a shame
A first X post in sometimeβ¦
All set for the Severn Valley Stages later this morning and looking forward to the roads
Myherin looks tricky but feeling well prepared and content with the notes
I donβt believe it was a classic, but thoroughly enjoyed watching the Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix
The show following the race was world class and such a great advertisement for the sport - I cannot think of another sport where Mickey Mouse himself is conducting!
What to say about M Sport Ford? Clearly the third best team by some distance, not helped with the reverse stage seeding (which I find ridiculous). It was always going to be a tough season of survival in 2025 and I feel they need a strong proven driver to lead
Ott and Thierry were proving the Hyundai has picked up pace in the recent rallies. Adrien needs to find his form I feel. Although the vibes are the team will continue in 2026, I am nervous we will lose the factory team at the end of this year
With both Kalle and Elfyn deserving of another season with the team, Takamoto and Sami must be feeling a little nervous with Oliverβs astounding performance. Regardless of Oliverβs championship result in WRC2 this year, he deserves a full time Rally1 seat
Mega achievement from Oliver Solberg yesterday. To be at the very top against multiple champions, leading from the front and taking pressure from both Hyundaiβs was a performance from a champion
@DirtFishRally It is very interesting now we are past the half way stage. Hoping Elfyn can take advantage of the better road position in Finland and take back the lead of the championship!
Scrutineering β
Greystoke Stages ready - looking for a strong result in the MRC tomorrow with 2nd place Jones sitting this event out
Rain will have an affect on the event with showers expected through the day, so keeping it neat on the already slippy stages will be key
Very much looking forward to the Greystoke Stages this weekend - the fourth round of the Mini Rally Championship
Kyle is currently third in the championship and looking to take back second at the end of tomorrow
In a rally update...
I look set to start my ninth event this year and ninetieth event ever in December
Very much looking forward to one of my favourite stages at the Coppermines Lakes Cottages Grizedale Stages Rally in December
