Ulster Rally SS1 Crews having to back off due to the heavy rain making seeing the road difficult.

With conditions like that it's an advantage in one corner and disadvantage in another, don't think there is a clean pick in front. However he did have different tires and 1 less spare than most.

After 19 cars (Kopecky) and 31 (Bonato) the road is for sure muddy, if it's drying out it can be drier mud and dry tarmac in clean spots.
First 3 cars on the road can have wet clean road and 12 on road (Mikkelsen) could have drier muddy road + dry(er) tarmac sections.

Anyway the point really wasn't that Mikkelsen is driving so much faster than everyone, but that he seemingly handled the C3 well in tricky conditions which were supposed to be the worst option. That is the surprising part.

You overanalyze it. He just meant the road was much more dry for late runners.

this is gonna be reaaalllyyy interesting

[mknight]

Meh Neuville and Ogier with same tirechoice, could have been even more interesting.

[mknight]

Neuville 3s slower than in the morning on first split.. and in the morning he went out here before it no?

Should be very wet then.

[Tarmop]

Well, soft tyres and roads that look like rivers. Could be worse.

I noticed only now... they drive three times the same circuit stage today? Isn't that too little? Why not a whole leg on one circuit?
