    But they didn't brake any rules, how's that killing the sport? Tactics and strategy has been always part of any sport, if something gives You advantage, You use it, if it's not forbidden of course, though we've seen plenty examples of the latter too, e.g. cars not complying with the rules, doping, etc.

    Last year Evans had his engine swapped and that cost him a lot of time. He made a 2nd quickest time on the second Friday gravel stage. After that he had to sweep the road. Anyway, I'm not expecting much from Evans this year but this could be his chance.

    Sordo also lost a bunch of time with technical problems last year but made some very good stage times, and seems to be good on this type of gravel events.

    That's nothing unusual for the second driver...

    Didn't have time to follow the rally very closely except live timing on my phone and it took me two hours to read the forum from Friday night till now

    Thanks everyone for photos, videos and any interesting information!

    Again, do we know, what was the reason for that delay? Like protocol says, nothing changed in the overall classification. And yes, in the end there have been, are and always will be team strategies. In every team.

    E: Saw the right protocol now and i was wrong.

    I assume you’ve only just started following rallying?
    It’s perfectly normal, especially when it’s 99% more likely that one driver will out perform and our score the other during a year.

    They didn't brake rules - it's true. But they braking rally as a friendly sport, where all respect each other. You of course can bring f1 or other circuit racing spirit, where all hate each ohter, and their method of getting an advantage, but I think it's a wrong way for rallying.

    BTW it's forbidden to fell the tree on the stage after your cars passing? No such article in rules, so when Malcolm will take up that "advantage"?
