[WRC] Rally Finland 2023

[Andre Oliveira]

This year could be the end of msport in Rally1. If Ott leaves who would drive for them? I mean a guy Who could be competetive…noone. Why would waste money to trundle around in 7-8 place in top class when you can pull out and put all resources into Rally2 and win there. No market for rally1 cars either.

The "good" old days of payers. Munster by Serderidis and Loubet.

No super rally for Ott: https://twitter.com/DirtFishRally/st...75953511464960

Rock or compression hit the oil sump and they talk about oil pump possibly and starter definitely being broken.
By the words of Ott this is not an engine issue per se but damage done by this compression.

Imho Ott's very low setup is the root of this cause

This is from Estonian forum but gold...

Rally journalist is interviewing Ott Tänak, asking why he joined the Ford rally team... Ott replies: "Short workdays and weekends are free."

Is it only me or the all-live stream has quite many hick-ups?

Very poor, also far too much heli shots and not enough stage side cameras for my liking, doesn't show the speed as effectively

Could a rock have a such impact it pierces the underbody guard? kinda weird in my opinion

First time? This was the case also with Tänak in Toyota.

So, estonian boys and girls, you can not throw the stone and angree comments towards Msport - engine was broken because of impact that can be both driver mistake and/or unlucky situation.

Tanak does not seem bothered, even looks relieved.

But Rovampera is a monster - are we entering another Loeb-ish, Ogier-ish time in the world championship? Total dominance!
