While we don't have many top class cars back then, it's crazy to think that even with 8 Top class cars at 5 drivers have a shot at winning and over these long 20+km stages they are only separated by tenths. This season has been so good so far so lets enjoy it, these seasons only happen once every 15 years.
Yes The fight between Marcus Gronholm & Sebastien Loeb At the 2007 New Zealand Rally was epic !!! Marcus Gronholm won, among other things, because Henning Solberg told him to drive through the water on the ride side.
If this doesn’t kill off the current points system, I don’t know what will. I’d love to get excited about Tanak’s win, but it was utterly meaningless. Ogier already got maximum points on Saturday night and Neuville got maximum points on Sunday. No one needed to win on Sunday. Huge shame that such a great moment is effectively lost and destroyed this way
One might think that but in the end a win is a win, it goes to the books and winner's glory is established. As for the points system, it actually balanced the chances so far. Everyone can still cry about the points system but it still delivered at least three way fight for the championship lead and title at mid season.
@@metalbladepegasus7854 you’ve just made my point for me. Winning a rally doesn’t gain you anything and everyone walks away with roughly the same number of points. There’s no incentive to win and no reward for doing so. Look at Neuville - bin the car, have 4 good stages on Sunday, only lose 6 points in the title race, situation is basically unchanged. Tanak wins, but gets outscored and is still 3rd, negligible gains if any. What’s the point anymore?
The problem you have is that the equal closest finish ever had all of its drama removed because the new points system means overall winner is almost meaningless except for in the record books. Instead of dramatically losing the rally on the last stage with a puncture and the points for winning, Ogier lost what? Maybe one point for Sunday and a couple for the power stage. This new points system may be the most absurd points system I've ever seen a top level world championship use.
The best part of this video is the sportmanship, congratulates when the rivals are winning 👍♥🏁

New Zealand 2007 is still the best rally I've ever seen.

Oiger winning and losing a rally with 0.2 is crazy

Its not so bad, now you have pass on friday, Saturday And a stunning Sunday

Only 0.2 is crazy
180km/h = 50m/s so 0.2s is 10m difference.
@@nicefil3 average speed in Sardegna 2024 was 85.8 km/h, which means that differenze between Tanak and Ogier was 4.8 mt
And the Rally1 Hyundai is 4.1m long, so that would be less than a car length
0:42 yes ogier has Denied Neuville from getting his first win in the rally Monte Carlo by winning his first rally for the new team Citroen
5:16 The most finnish answer ever.
Ogier vs Neuville
Mcrae vs Sainz
Ogier vs Neuville again
Neuville vs Evans
Ogier vs Evans
Gronholm vs Loeb
Ogier vs Tanak

Yes ott tänak very good
Croatian finish was been amazing,just like one year later
5/8 is with Ogier, that's crazy
Loeb Loeb Loeb... 😂💪🏽
✊✊💪💥💥
Waiting for the moment when their times will be the same
If that happens what is the tiebreaker, more stage wins ???
@@miguelbarrero5572 That could help. But even though there is an extremely small probability, it could still be the same. 😅
@@miguelbarrero5572 I think the time of the first stage would decide it. And if that’s identical, then the second stage and so on
Its good to hold on, meanwhile they all can build a car with a lower cost and more manufacturers
MC RAE LOEB LATVALA OGIER ETC WOWWW
👏🤙🤙❤
What an annoying annotator voice
