    These 2017 cars seem ideal matches with a current day version of the mousse tyre. (4 mousse tyres per rough gravel event to be used strategically? who would risk taking no spare at all (if road rules allow)?

    Who would be willing to produce such meaningless amount of mousse tyres?

    Because you won't win with two spares and that's what everyone is driving for in this rally
    What caused the guys further down the field to puncture was the entry to the bridge that made them cancelled the stage, the rally itself is probably smoother than Finland.

    When you see these roads, you don't think of needing a lot of spares, they are mostly smooth, fast and flowing. Not a huge amount of things to hit as long as you stay on the forestry roads. It's pushing past the limits or the parts where the surface changes that things become a problem from what I could see of walking stages today.

    We went to the 1st stage, the 3rd and the last proper stage today and had mixed success. The first stage there was reasonably heavy rain on the way in, which eased as soon as we arrived. We watched from 2-3km into the stage which is the longest of the weekend. Again the Citroens looked very loose and it was definitely wet but drying, however certainly some wet points in the 2-300m we could see, but the WRC cars all seemed to get through ok, got a few pics from this stage, but as it was a spectator zone we didn't really have a good place to actually watch from!

    Andreas was definitely quite sideways:



    Evans from Australia rejoined, and although it's a very ugly car, he was looking quick and committed:



    Once again Mike Young was committed, good to see someone properly sliding a FWD:



    Not sure who this was from the State field, but looked very committed, just right at the limit of the camera range, he did this for 2-3 corners until he got close to us:

    We then went to SS12, where there was a couple of Breen fans, and sat about 1.5-2m above the road right at the end of a fast, flowing section of road:

    There were a couple of Toyota fans here specifically because they had GT4 Celicas and wanted to see WRC Toyotas, man they loved seeing this:





    Evans was also tidy, right in the right lines:



    Strangely Ogier was quite wide:





    Interestingly, Paddon and Meeke looked the fastest, but stage times didn't agree. One of the other very quick drivers was Nathan Quinn in the Evo 9 in the ARC field, who looked like he was really pushing along well, carrying lots of speed. Sorry in advance for the poor videos!

    And finally, what not to do if you don't own the car...











    Poor Brendan was doing well as the lead Aussie until the first stage today.
