I think that this reduced HY system regulation from x to 3 is pointless..
It is a 3rd party piece of (sh!7) weight in the car that just has to be there..
It fails so often and teams can't do anything about it, because it isn't their product.
In conclusion.. if HY works it works and nobody gains anything when using new system ,,just in case''.
It isn't like using new engine, clutch, gearboz etc..
That really make a difference.Last edited by TypeR; 27th January 2024 at 19:42.

Tänak:
A solid day, altogether not too bad. I have been struggling with my engine again but we will see tonight what can be done, but I would say it’s definitely holding us back. When we are faster and the stage is flowing, it doesn’t have as great an effect, and we have been improving step-by-step.
We have a lot of options available for our tyres, so we can adapt to the situation in the morning.
In some ways, the rally starts again tomorrow; we want to score points, but you really need to follow what the others are doing – something to keep an eye on.#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

They instead should’ve focused on the fact they’re running synthetic fuels or fossil-free fuels (whatever the case may be) and promote that instead of the fact the cars are now plug-in hybrids; Which if we’re being honest, none of the fans care about, it only adds weight, some additional cost to the cars (which as we said before are already mighty expensive) and a massive headache to the teams.
If it’s such a good solution for the sport, why didn’t they implement it to the rally2 cars? Hell why didn’t they even bother with giving them mild-hybrid systems?Last edited by Eli; 27th January 2024 at 19:57.

Wasn't it some time ago that these fia smartheads thought about r5 cars' need to adapt to 48v or whatever mild hybrid systems.. Luckily this shit didn't happen.
And about the fuel...
I don't know about today, but in the beginning years it was do harmful for the engined that r5/rally2/wrc2 drivers had to change the oil on every service and also some of Mikkelsen's dnf were due engine failuers bc of this ,,fossil free fuel''Last edited by TypeR; 27th January 2024 at 20:15.

Yeah I think there was a dirtfish article (or a few) regarding this back in ‘21 or was it ‘20? (Covid made it all scrambled), asking if rally2 should go the rally1 way, I think they even asked Yves Matton about this but ultimately they agreed it would add too much complexity to the car and wouldn’t be worth it.

The current live coverage is good, and they have listened to complaints a little. Post stage interviews now in a small screen at the corner, so we can still watch the action. Becs sometimes shuts up and says "lets listen to Scott Martin or whatever co driver" for 30secs etc.
But my biggest gripe is maybe following Fourmaux today, while Neuville and Ogier are absolutely on it in an intense battle.
Presume their must be an agreement all P1 drivers or teams get equal-ish coverage? Suppose that would be an attraction for sponsors when you can guarantee screen time no matter what position you are
