    Lucky I didn't go over to it. Had planned to watch the last stage and make a dash for Holyhead for 2pm ferry.

    Bit of disaster for organizers after a great event.

    Only top 14 will get a run now

    Oiger does it. Wins Wales rally GB. Think this was the best WRC for a while.

    That was some Sunday from Ogier. I really think he has an extra hunger for to win one more championship in the Fiesta. A great drive from Breen too this weekend. I really hope he has a drive next year. It was an awesome rally and the next two should be brilliant. I so sickened for Ott. He drove so well.

    Colin Clark still seems to think that Wilson and Meeke are talking. Lappi is expected to be confirmed at Citroen in or around the 18th so I'd say we'll know all then. I'd love to see Breen go to Toyota as the 3rd driver and Meeke to M-Sport as the number 1. That's if M-Sport are even in the WRC next year.

    Anyone heading to Spain. Solberg, Loeb and Ken Block back, it would be a nice rally to head to.

    It’s now being confirmed that Meeke is off to Toyota to join Tänak and Latvala. Meeke will have a new co-driver too after an amicable split with Nagle. It’s looking like Seb Marshall will be the guy to step in.

    Lappi is off to join Ogier at Citroen. They are apparently to focus on just two cars which leaves Craig Breen looking for a new drive. M-Sport seems to be a strong possibility though.

    Now, I'll take it with a pinch of salt but rumors that M-Sport and Loeb are taking. With Peugeot pulling out of WRX, and Citroen WRC squad filled, looks like Loeb will be not be driving next year so you never know.

    It would be great but I can’t see it happening. Doubt M-Sport could afford him?

    I think Loeb still has a contract with PSA for next year.

    Going to be a great last stage on Rally Spain. Loeb leading, Oiger 3.6 behind, Neuville in 3rd with Evans 2.0 behind him. Evans was quicker than Neuville on the last stage so if he pushes hard, Neuville could drop to 4th.

    Loeb wins from Ogier with Evans 3rd. Five years since his last WRC win. What a driver.

    Oiger is 6 times world champion. Great WRC this year towards the end of the season. Jari-Matti wins rally Australia. If he had not won this rally it would have been the first year he didn't win a rally since 2008 and the first year since 1995 a driver from Finland didn't win a rally .

    Neuvile had his usual end of season wobble and Tanak made some mistakes also.
    Sebastian Loeb hit the nail on the head when he said said before the season finale that Ogier was stronger in the mind than his opponents.
    Roll on The Monte.
