Hi, friends!
You must be really special guy to win eight World Rally Championship titles but also a fifty rally wins at the world level. It's not just something easy achievable. Ogier is a special talent and the whole rallying world knows that.
He didn't score a single win in this new Rally1 class which replaced WRC class at the start of this season. New cars are much more powerful with more then 500bhp at the moment because they have the hybrid power system which gives them 137bhp of extra boost.
But Seb Ogier says that the new cars are kinda lazy in the corners and that the cars too slow turn the curve. That is connected to the differentials which are not electronic from this year. Some things are better and some some things are less better.
But it is very interesting to watch the acceleration of the new rally beasts because this is something you can't see often in rallying. I spectated the WRC event this year and saw it by my own eyes. That's just great!
Here we have an onboard rally video of Seb Ogier and his Toyota from Thursday where he posted the fastest time. Please enjoy and learn from the French master... :)
