Long day tomorrow but at this rate Neuville should have it under control. Impressive.

Mirek would probably know more, but after Canarias he mentioned that Toni got a promise of new motor parts or even of a new improved motor from Skoda.

Yes, Toni haven't much money and scared destroyed the car, but don't forget, what Skoda have new engine version, and Tony not....

5,6sec between the 3 Skodas fighting? for second...

It seems that all Škodas have chosen quite defensive tactics without any additional risking ..... maybe the spirit of Juho is missing. BUT: Tomorrow still 138 km to go!

Any news about Ari?

U could be right, Juho was never really happy if he weren't on the first place. Jan and Loix are happy but I understand them too they just want to secure there place too for getting good points in the standings. If Thierry will win this and that's for sure not confirmed with one more long day to come but if he does then he gets a big rival for everyone at IRC.

Legend Vatanen to undergo operation
Following his accident on the sixth stage of Tour de Corse-E.Leclerc, where he was driving a Peugeot 207 RC Rally as the route-opening zero car, rallying legend Ari Vatanen will be taken to hospital in Marseille for an operation to stabilise the injury to his neck.



The Finn requires a routine operation to repair the injury he sustained in a heavy frontal impact, but is expected to make a complete recovery once the surgery has been carried out.

Vatanen is expected to be airlifted to hospital either tonight or tomorrow for the operation, as soon as suitable transport can be arranged. His son Max, who was with him in the car, was uninjured.

Any news about Ari?

I've just been watching the live footage from today's stages which I recorded earlier. Really nice scenery and camera shots from Corsica...

Neuville is a joy to watch, this boy will go far.

Regarding Gardemeister you can see from the onboards that he is lacking some commitment. Maybe he just doesn't have confidence in the car or tyres... I think you really have to put a lot of energy into these cars to get them to work properly and that's where he is losing out. Maybe still stuck in the ways of driving the old lazy WRCars?
