Rally Sweden 2023

I heard Thierry saying this yesterday: SS6 @RallySweden ����

⏱️ 6:40.8 - 4th fastest so far

"It's not possible to drive like this. I have understeer in every corner, I'm at full-lock in sixth gear."

and I was wondering, does the car have 6th gear and they (Hyundai or the FIA in their regulations) didn't tell us or did Thierry forget he doesn't have 6th gear or that i20 actually has 6th gear and it was a slip of the tongue by Neuville?

I'm aware, that's why I found his comment odd.

Good day by Neuville and Tanak. Kalle not as fast as I expected, but I still think he'll get the podium.
Excluding issues, I don't see Breen beating Tanak tomorrow. Rather, he has a 15 seconds lead over Neuville and Rovanpera who will push, so Craig must deliver.
Evans still quite lost...

Lucky escape by Breen on SS12

Here is the complete video of the same spot. Maybe one of the best fan video tapes ever made, it contains everything you love about rally:
- one hell of a (corner) spot
- extremely helpful and inventive crowd when in need
- only 1 filmer ( still shame on the Monte crowd in that frozen corner spot)
- all competitors freed and could continue
- attentive and colloborative marshals
- some very lucky escapees like Breen

of course its not about minus temp, its about speed/pressure tyres were taking... Top 3 drivers - same tyre fault.... clear those 3 have reached the tyre limit .... so loads of data for the next year, in testing you cant reach those loads

i think they at test they push as hell as they do in proper rally so how they f.ucking test the car or you want to say they testing all in rally ? just insane how tyres blow with pirreli supply and before entering to top lvl they had a test for tyres...

Lappi still sitting in a car like a queen.. Go out and help to showel ffs..

Seriously?
No way out of drivers door. He trusted that we do the job because he realised that he know all of us and we will do our best and he was ready for every try out of snow bank.
Yes I was there.

Seriously, yes.
7+min is enough time to realise to get out and do something, but let it be.
Nothing surprising and like expected.. all the blame is on teams/drivers.. (not shitty tyres.)
Why should they use low pressures if the stages are sooo fast + Hyundai is so much faster anyway(on straights).
