Actually from the outside fan footage it looks like nose went lower just before hitting the rocks (even compared to other Toyotas). Whether that was conscious decision (lift-off, brakes...) is...

As Simmi says no real "off" in Catalunya. That said the puncture in Finland was his own fault after cutting a corner he had marked as "don't cut". So the overall number is about the same.

Neuville's car still in scrutineering?

Just don't see why you would just point this out. Hyundai (Sordo) was clearly targeted by M-sport before that ... and M-sport was by Hyundai in Mexico.. which was a response to Ogier asking before...

Suninen did very well beating both Lappi and Sordo (even considering the time issues), similarly Evans also did well, maybe expected a bit more from Lappi.

However I am bit split as to how much to...

Seems like the road is still cleaning, so likely no points for Ogier.

Yeah let's remove rollcages completely so that they drive slower............and call it "safety improvement".

Just saw on alllive that Meeke had close call on Friday, quite similar to what Lappi had yesterday if a bit less "close".

Depends on what is causing issues (fatalities/injuries).

On national/ERC levels I'd say most injuries come from hitting spectators and not from the racing crews.

R5 vs N4 comparison could be...

In Group B or even group A times was every single crash could easily be fatal. That might have played some role ;)

If you go back to early 90s suspension with bomb-proof cars of today it won't be...

Making the cars harder/more unpredictable to drive (reduced suspension travel) might reduce the speed at which accidents happen, but it is also likely to increase the number of accidents.

Think about what you wrote one more time dear Watson.

Julian Porter has been going on for whole saturday and today again how M-Sport and Hyundai will switch positions with Neuville taking driver lead from Ogier and M-Sport taking manu lead from Hyundai....

Gotta remember that the crew seats are basically in line with the B-pillars these days.

I thought about Argentina and Sardinia.

But in Argentina they never really showed the rock just how he went into the side after that (kinda like Ogier here).
In Sardinia it was about the puncture...

Mads complaining a lot about how someone ( engineers?) are sending him the whole way all the time. (probably in terms of setup). That they don't get what he is talking about and that he will have to...

Quite many offs were his own fault, specially on the rallies where he should have scored (Germany, partly Spain) but also some of the gravel ones. Then there were the rallies where he has never been...

Exactly, which is why he will not win the championship.

... and exactly why Citroen needs a real title contender. This year M-Sport, Hyundai and Toyota all have one. Seemingly both Toyota and...

Both Paddon and Sordo finish their contracts at the end of this year. But the way it looks like now Sordo would probably stay and Paddon is maybe not interesting for Citroen market-wise.

Maybe...

First time Evans has positively surprised me this year. Sure he got to 2nd from 6th position when everyone ahead either crashed or had issues (punctures, tires, damper++).
But so far today he is...

Huh Mikkelsen said they had to turn power down for today to "make it last".

So they let him run trough 2 days to get 6+ manu points with no chance for PS points? (or maybe they turn it up for PS)....

They were definitely not first in 2016. Since that was the year when Championship leader was also first on 2nd day leading to massive Ogier complaints.

I has been like this the last 3+ years. Supposedly there was no point in rejoining just to clean the road. This way they can set some good stagetimes. But it's always unfair to the last wrc cars that...

Anyway Breen is up to (relatively) pointless cruising with no chance to do any good stage times.

Seems like a typical issue for Hyundai, I can recall at least 4 times this happened with the new car.

Toyota seems to get a lot of front-suspension and engine-related issues.

Fiesta had engine...
