I spectated seven-times WRC champ Seb Ogier's tarmac test ahead of WRC Rally Croatia 2021

Hi, friends!

To be honest I don't remember when was the last time when I felt the way I felt today. It was probably in September when we finished 3rd in two classes in our National Zone Championship on our biggest rally in the country.

But this is something special because I saw the best active WRC driver of today driving the same road over and over again until he found what he wanted for. And what I saw today was the great training for him because, after 50 WRC wins, he doesn't have much to learn or to prove to anybody.

He was the last one to test of all the works drivers from Toyota and he already had all set-up definitions from Kalle Rovanpera and Elfyn Evans so it was for him to find the fine tune that suits him the best and I saw many variations of set-up today.

What I learned today is that he drives very precisely and clean without understeer or overstter. Just clean driving because every drift means losing time. That's why he won 50 WRC rallies and seven WRC titles - because he is the best one around at the moment.

What is also great is that I had all three of my co-drivers from the last season - Damir P, Kristijan L and Mladen C. So I had also a great company.

Damir P was filming with my phone while I was studying how to be quicker.

We have lots of videos but today it will be this five from the YouTube. Pleas enjoy...
