Local drivers stole the show on Rally Estonia. The scrap between Georg Linnamäe and Robert Virves was a battle for the ages. Alas, it began with distraction, as Ott Tänak’s Hyundai i20 N Rally1 rolled onto its side after a fast jump and then began to flip end over end.
That incident has naturally led to knock-on consequences for Hyundai. So Colin Clark, George Donaldson and Alasdair Lindsay have gone on a deep dive in this week’s episode of SPIN, The Rally Pod.
Last week’s Rally Finland entry list also provided a surprise. Sébastien Ogier’s presence in a GR Yaris Rally1 means Toyota will field five cars. That naturally prompts a wider debate about Toyota’s championship challenge – is the rest of the lineup pulling its weight?
WRC testing is also put under the microscope: Elfyn Evans wants more of it, M-Sport wants private testing phased out for group tests – so what’s the solution?
