Jari-Matti Latvala on his way to his first win with VW
The WRC was in action at the famed Acropolis Rally in Greece last weekend. It was a rally where Ogier struggled after mechanical issues early on, and the young guys shone. We took to Twitter to find out what you thought of the Rally.

First off – this. We agree. Rallying was huge when the stages and cars were. Rally is not there to be shown live. It is there for great media, a great TV package. The current media and internet world is great for that. Though we still love what we have

Novikov impressed in the Fiesta – leading until a mistake put him out of contention
Sit back and enjoy
It was not a great weekend for Citroen
Citroen should work with Peugeot to do what VW/Skoda have done with Mikkleson. The winner of the IRC Championship looks like a future Champ in the WRC
Nice
Word
If these guys got hit, it would be the fault of the Rally. The driver would undoubtedly be impacted emotionally. People like this are pure idiots. Natural selection will have its day, I just hope it is never in a motorsport event. It would be great if they grew a brain but I don’t see it happening
For the first time in a while, this is true
Latvala took his first win for VW, after taking wins for Ford in the past
But Citroen thought there was something else at play
The FIA did not
Kubica kept it on the road for his first WRC2 win, and a win for Citroen over the weekend
Your winners
