Turkey 2018

[PLuto]

I have watched one car and that is enough for me. This stage is not worth to watch...

[Essaj]

Stage is bad and now the stream crashed for me :(

[er88]

AllLive just stopped working for me. Happen to anyone else?

[Oliverk]

Is alllive working for you guys?

[Simmi]

Stage is bad and now the stream crashed for me :(

Same here. Oh well no big loss. As long as it doesn't do that in the morning.

[EstWRC]

same here

[JAM]

These stages are made for the ordinary citizen that wouldn't go to the montain stages.

These are an important part of a rally, and have a lot of local impact. Some of them doesn't work on TV, like this, but work very well to the spectators, sponsors and to the city.

Can't understand the complaints... this SS by day would be far better then the german SS. People like to see cars spining around, and here they do it at least two times!

[BigWorm]

They are doing us a favour it seems

[Fast Eddie WRC]

WRC+ doesnt work on my holiday place Smart TV... and now the app stream has gone. :(

[EstWRC]

Mikkelsen 2.5 secs faster than anybody else with his medium tyres

[satukata]

wrcallive not working??

[flykas]

Wrc live not working here

[satukata]

any working stream?

[er88]

You'd think they'd have solved issues like this by now. Hopefully tomorrow when we get up in the mountains everything runs smoothly.....

[FAlonso]

Not working here also. Android, Android TV or iOS...

[KKS]

Audio stream works

[er88]

Now it's back working for me but cuts between live stage and a recorded interview with a Turkish driver lol...

[mknight]

Got to hear like 5s about Ogier hitting plastic barriers.

[EstWRC]

a moment for Ogier

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Ogier car rear kicked up on the jump and he struggled at the next corner.

[er88]

The Champ is feeling the pressure. Silly little mistakes creeping into his performances lately.

[satnav]

Not working for me either ,it starts then goes to the shakedown

I think it is possible to make more interesting and more beautiful stages in the city centers...

You have pretty high expectations :eek::D

[mknight]

I think it is possible to make more interesting and more beautiful stages in the city centers...

True, but it's close to impossible to actually make a night city stage look good on the TV. (even the Zlin city stage is pretty bad to watch on TV).

The only workable solutions are to have the camera higher than the cars else it's looking into the headlights or to have enough streetlight that they can drive without lights (never really seen that, Mexico tried last year and it didn't work).

[JAM]

I think it is possible to make more interesting and more beautiful stages in the city centers...

You have to have cars spinning around and sliding a lot. That's what that kind of spectators wants to see, and thst for that kind of manouvers that these SS are.

Forget high speed corners or corners like true stages.

[PLuto]

I am not sure if the spectators are so interested to see donuts around barrels or strawbale. If you want a good example of night stage, also for cameras, I must say that I liked Guanajuato city stage in Mexico - nice parts with fast and slow corners and also "donuts" place for rally ignorants :)

[Mirek]

You have to have cars spinning around and sliding a lot. That's what that kind of spectators wants to see, and thst for that kind of manouvers that these SS are.

Forget high speed corners or corners like true stages.

I would bet You get more spectators and better atmosphere among them on most of city stages than on whatever SSS and You get plenty of drifting and action there too. You can even do these stupid spinning around roundabouts or haybales if You like but for me this is a thing which shall have never ever appeared in rallying except some prologues where there is no time measured.

There are basically three and simple reasons against - any city stage is usually much harder to organize, much less suitable for hosting the army of VIP people and You can't usually ask any entry fee there.

[jparker]

Those Toyotas don't look comfortable, compared to other cars.

[itix]

Did anyone see this?

The SSS was incredibly crowded. Many many thousands of people were attending. Very smart move from the organizers to install 2 meters high fences so we were obliged to see through the squares of the iron fence...

I was frustrated, it looked like prison. They could have installed 1 or 1,5 meters high fences so we could see normally as it happens all over the world.

Morning guys. I hear SS2 got some rain overnight

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Morning... stream not working !?

[EstWRC]

nope

[salamaja]

Morning... stream not working !?

ya :/

[FAlonso]

So the All Live circus continues.

[AnttiL]

The only way I got the stream working was on my iPhone app, open last night's post-stage studio and then scroll the stream to the end and it seems to be live

[itix]

Yeah, it was posted a few hours ago by dimviii. Have a look:Ah, my bad. I'm on limited internet so can't watch video.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Stream now up on my App. ;)

[AnttiL]

On browser as well

[EstWRC]

and what a suprise! DELAY!

[EstWRC]

quite damp, a little bit of luck for Neuville

[er88]

quite damp, a little bit of luck for NeuvilleYep very damp at the start at least compared to what I expected

[EstWRC]

Ogier +3 in spl1

[er88]

That's a big gap between seb and Thierry for such an early split.

Ogier holding now, +5 in spl3

[Rallyper]

Good morning chaps! A bit early for an old grump, but an exciting day to come.

[EstWRC]

Thierry still fastest on splits, quite a good going


and hanging dust for others, damn

[mknight]

Damp, hanging dust and Ogier slowest of the top 6 cars in early splits.... brace for the after stage complains

[EstWRC]

they need bigger gaps, Tänaks onboard right now and he cant even see the next corner on some places

[Rallyper]

No splits on WRC.COM...

[AnttiL]

All Michelin @OfficialWRC drivers with 6 MICHELIN LTX Force H4 except Ogier: 4H4+2M6 and Mikkelsen: 4M6+2H4

[EstWRC]

ah thats why Mikkelsen is flying, medium tryes

[AnttiL]

No splits on WRC.COM...

https://michelinmotorsport.com/Evenement/Rally-Turkey

[EstWRC]

massive massive losses for Ogier and Tänak with the dust

[AnttiL]

Tänak keeps losing time, damn

[EstWRC]

MIkkelsen will have a great time here, but will the tyres last?

[er88]

Toyota not so good with that old engine spec ;)?
Shame, but Ott is losing too much time to Thierry here. Not good for the potential championship battle

[Rallyper]

just the first stage...

[mknight]

Not like the rally is decided in 1 stage. I actually like changing conditions, much better than bone dry-clear and just watching every car with 5s better time than the one before them on the road.

[EstWRC]

Ogier and Tänak now taking time back in open section without dust

[Rallyper]

Beautiful heli shots!

[mknight]

And Ogier delivered complaining as expected :D

[EstWRC]

And Ogier delivered complaining as expected :D

this time he is right, they could see nothing at times

E. although yeah, the guys from back are coming faster..seems him and Ott chickened out much


but a long way to go

[AnttiL]

this time he is right, they could see nothing at times

No one has ever driven in Ogier's dust in the past years?

[mknight]

It's just the way he puts it. Tanak and Lappi are factual. Ogier is "complaining" style. Neuville is the same as we know.

[EstWRC]

Ott the slowest Toyota, and by far, you dont see that often

[mknight]

Looks like the dust cleaned in middle, looking at Breen .

[Fast Eddie WRC]

And Ogier delivered complaining as expected :D

Tanak too because dust is a fact.

Neuville was lucky to get a clear view.

Road not nearly so rough - no complaints or punctures.

[AnttiL]

Mikkelsen complained about the same dust, and 24.8 seconds faster than Tänak

[er88]

Evans in trouble....

[EstWRC]

Breen coming with a great time, 6 sec up on Mikkelsen in penultimate split

[AnttiL]

Evans in trouble....

intercom lost and then went into a bank

[AnttiL]

Paddon also with good pace

[EstWRC]

Go Breen!

[Rallyper]

We have to wait for the afternoon loop. It will be a decider, for sure.

[er88]

Brilliant from Breen.

[Allez Andruet]

I´m talking about THE decider. In a way else, the whole rally is a decider.

Tomorrow will also have a long rough stage.

[AnttiL]

SS3 live. This should be less rough.

[EstWRC]

Ogier and Neuvilel equal in spl1

[KKS]

Good morning 'early morning cyborgs' :) Can't wake-up so early, and miss some action?

[AnttiL]

Tänak on the pace again

[EstWRC]

he just took the first too cautiously, has a mountain to climb up the leaderboard now

[AnttiL]

he just took the first too cautiously, has a mountain to climb up the leaderboard now

It's a long rally. Keeping it on the road intact will gain him half of the positions.

[EstWRC]

and again he has gave a lot of time away with just one split, 5 seconds!

[AnttiL]

and again he has gave a lot of time away with just one split, 5 seconds!

Kurat!

[EstWRC]

Lappi even worse, Neuville driving very good this morning compared to Ogier and Tänak

[KKS]

Everyone was slower than Neuville on 4th sector

[Got Mail]

Henning absolutely flying. 30 secs up on Kopecky at 8th split.

[KKS]

Henning absolutely flying. 30 secs up on Kopecky at 8th split.
WOW. Old gun still have a pace

[er88]

Neuville has started like a champion

[EstWRC]

everyone losing A LOT in the end to Neuville

i think the first guys will have actually have and advantage on the second pass

[Rallyper]

Henning absolutely flying. 30 secs up on Kopecky at 8th split.

Where did he come from? Didn´t even know he´s driving anymore... :) :)

[mknight]

From Latvala's onboard it looked like the end was getting really rough. So maybe they backing off a bit.

EDIT: Latvala so surprised by the lots time at the end he couldn't even talk properly.

[er88]

Is Evans going slowly here?


Yep, lost a big chunk of time

[er88]

Check the oil out. Another horrible rally for Evans so far

[Rallyper]

First victim. Evans.

[Allez Andruet]

Poor Elfyn. 2018 surely ain't his year.

[AnttiL]

Still one stage to go.

[AnttiL]

Elfyn into Rally2

[EstWRC]

lol wrc plus not showing the stage map for me

[dupanton]

Elfyn into Rally2

I thought his gearbox made a strange noise when he put it in 1st. Not sure but might be gearbox oil.

[Rallyper]

I think I heard rear axle...?

Can be spotted by smelling. Not a way I expect the journalists will have a clue of ...

Lappi and Latvala also slow.

[Simmi]

Ott seeming more and more stern at stage ends these days. I know he's not going well. But I'm not just talking about this event. Anyone else think that or is that just me?

[EstWRC]

lol you guys with this engine crap...he won rally argentina with the same engine if you dont remember

The Toyotas had also the problem last year, no speed on slow events


to SImmi...he looked like that already before the event, dont know why

[er88]

In a slower event that's more twisty, the driveability of the engine gets shown up. Here.., they don't have the upgrades. It's why Tommi was crying in the media about the "rules". It's clear they made a big step - it's a fact.

But I'm not saying it's why Tanak won the last two events, he more than likely would've won them both anyway considering how well he's been driving.

[Lead]

Latvala sounds confused...

[EstWRC]

Cmon Breen lets finish this beautiful morning nicely!

[Rallyper]

I´m a bit slow, I know. But tell me why Toyota could have the upgraded engine in Turkey??

[AnttiL]

I´m a bit slow, I know. But tell me why Toyota could have the upgraded engine in Turkey??

An update was introduced in Finland. But the cars are linked between Sardegna and Turkey, thus they need to use the old parts.

[EstWRC]

Breen 10 secs slower :(

[Simmi]

I know he's just lost it but was that the first time Craig has led a WRC event? I can't remember any other time unless I'm missing something...

[Rallyper]

Yes, this is his first time.

It can be just steady approach. Stage are so hard and not need to push hard from the beginning. As he title contender he must think about point scoring every event and "hoping" for trouble to others.

It's just a 1st loop of unknown rally, to early to make a judgments as for me

[EstWRC]

quite a drama free morning i would say

Neuville and Breen very good, Paddon and Ostberg good

Ogier getting better with every stage

Mikkelsen having a tyre advantage so i dont know how to count him

[Eli]

Ott seeming more and more stern at stage ends these days. I know he's not going well. But I'm not just talking about this event. Anyone else think that or is that just me?

Not just you

[KKS]

I excect a little bit more from Latvala, according to his road position, but he is fastest Toyota, so maybe not so bad

[Sulland]

Mikkelsen having a tyre advantage so i dont know how to count him

I will call it a splendid tyrechoice ;)

[EstWRC]

im not taking anything away from him, Good choice indeed but hard to compare with others directly

[KKS]

Kajetanowicz is just slow or having some troubles?

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Decent morning by Ogier but Neuville had some advantage with the damp roads and then created dust to offset his sweeping.

Evans had no luck again and Suninen didnt produce the speed despite good road position.

[Mirek]

Kajetanowicz is just slow or having some troubles?

Power steering...

[Tauri_J]

Kajetanowicz is just slow or having some troubles?

Power Steering

worst place to happen

[Mirek]

So fart good fight between Kopecký and Tidemand. Near same time on the long stage and than once Kopecký faster and second time Tidemand faster.

[EstWRC]

Tommi saying on ALLLIVE that he is satisfied with the cooling upgrades but they have to work more on suspension behaviour and test more on these rough conditions.

[Negaiss]

So fart good fight between Kopecký and Tidemand. Near same time on the long stage and than once Kopecký faster and second time Tidemand faster.

Good Fart indeed :) !!! But I was surprised when I saw that Fat Petter is actually ahead of them both at the moment.

[N.O.T]

Good Fart indeed :) !!! But I was surprised when I saw that Fat Petter is actually ahead of them both at the moment.

its Henning.

[Negaiss]

its Henning.

Yes I know. One time someone called him fat Petter instead of Henning. You now - almost like original Petter, but fat !!

[EstWRC]

4 minute gaps in the after noon

[Jarek Z]

Kajetanowicz is just slow or having some troubles?

Kajto lost over 1 minute after power steering broke down in his Fiesta on SS4. He had some problems with it already on SS2.

[steve.mandzij]

It's a shame Henning was no good in the 2017 car, he's putting on an impressive display. I guess R5 results aren't everything!

[N.O.T]

Lets see how much rougher the stage became after the first pass...

[EstWRC]

Tänak stalled, fakk

[KKS]

Tanak stall at hairpin

[AnttiL]

Neuville is still fastest

[dimviii]

Tanak stall at hairpin

same as shakedown.Is some problem with handbrake?

[EstWRC]

seems so, they have had it before

[AnttiL]

same as shakedown.Is some problem with handbrake?

And same in Finland for Tänak and Lappi, definitely a Toyota problem

[EstWRC]

all the drivers with hard tyres

[N.O.T]

do splits work ?

[Allez Andruet]

And same in Finland for Tänak and Lappi, definitely a Toyota problem

And JML in Monte 2017... seems like they just can't get it fixed.

[dimviii]

do splits work ?

yeap

[EstWRC]

Ogier really going now, was slower than Neuville but now 6 secs faster!

[KKS]

same as shakedown.Is some problem with handbrake?
Tommi should put it at 'development' list... it happen so many times with Yaris this year

[Eric]

Ogier really going now, was slower than Neuville but now 6 secs faster!

Neuville in trouble?

[Allez Andruet]

Jesus Christ that picture freeze on Ogier :eek:

[dimviii]

Neuville in trouble?

lets see next drivers 5th split .If everybody takes on Neuville probably mistake or problem

[jparker]

Neuville in trouble?
Seems like it, dropped 10 sec at split 6, compared to morning run.

[EstWRC]

Ogier driving very good on that roughest part

[er88]

The Champ has finally awoken. Good response in the rough part of the stage

[N.O.T]

something happened to neuville 6 seconds in 1 split is not normal.

[KKS]

Pleaaaaassse someone keep Jari's car working fine all week-end! He really need this.

[EstWRC]

something happened to neuville 6 seconds in 1 split is not normal.

Ogier has had balls there...Neuville and Tänak both lost a lot there and they are holding the gap now


E: Neuville has lost again a chunk

[N.O.T]

Ogier ahead of Neuville now overall...

[dimviii]

Ogier driving very good on that roughest part

i would say taking the risk to attack at the rough part of stage.

[dimviii]

Neuville -37 sec from 1st pass,almost 1 sec/km

[N.O.T]

Neuville -37 sec from 1st pass,almost 1 sec/km

and Ogier 1 min from his morning time...

[er88]

Statement of intent from Ogier here.

[EstWRC]

hats off Ogier, great stage

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Yes Seb, that's more like it ! :D

[EstWRC]

EVans with great splits, fastest

[dimviii]

Evans faster from Latvala at 4th split

[Eric]

Whats going on with Ott. Completely off pace

[EstWRC]

man i have no words how good Ogier has been here, this is just mega impressive


E: ooohhh, Ott so pissed off

[er88]

Ott's dummy is out. Not happy

[jparker]

man i have no words how Ogier has been here, this is just mega impressive


Wait for the next two SS before getting too exited.

[Allez Andruet]

Absolutely horrendous performance from Lappi.

[KKS]

Very slow for Lappi

[EstWRC]

Lappi: "i can not drive, sorry"

LOL

[AnttiL]

Suninen fastest at split 3

[KKS]

wow, Suninen split!

[EstWRC]

They are all faster until 4th split where the fun begins

[Päss1928]

How the f has noone had a puncture yet, they're driving on a pile of rocks. Really amazed by the strength of the tyres.

[EstWRC]

Suninen even faster in 4th split

All The Fords are going very good on this stage

[jparker]

How the f has noone had a puncture yet, they're driving on a pile of rocks. Really amazed by the strength of the tyres.

And no broken cars yet :rolleyes:

[Eric]

What the hell is going on with Evans and Suninen :D

[er88]

Good stage Latvala. Sensible drive from him so far while having more pace than his team mates

[Eric]

Oh Evans

[er88]

Sums up Evans season. That's really unfortunate

[AnttiL]

Suninen flying. 5 seconds up on Ogier at the split

[Fast Eddie WRC]

If Evans didnt have bad luck he wouldn't have any luck at all... :(

[dimviii]

Suninen even faster in 4th split

All The Fords are going very good on this stage

remember fords were always fast at Acropolis

[Eric]

Breen soooo slow. Ah no

[Allez Andruet]

Kopecky! :mad:

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Shame this for Breen... Friday curse strikes again.

He's so upset.

[AnttiL]

Now the punctures start. Breen as well.

[EstWRC]

so sorry for Breen :( :( :(

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Go on Teemu ... amazing, where has that come from ! :D

[Simmi]

Gutted for Craig. Was thinking maybe road order advantage is actually flipped here or something as more rocks get pulled out - but Suninen flying too.

[N.O.T]

Kopecky also in trouble...

[Eric]

A little disappointed by Paddon. Was hoping he could show some good speed and fight for the victory

[AnttiL]

Great stage from Suninen!

[Mintexmemory]

If the performance on SS5 carries on for the rest of the afternoon then JML and Teemu could get ahead of Neuville. This would make things very interesting regarding the championship!

[KKS]

WOW.. what a drama at WRC2

[N.O.T]

Its going to be between ogier and Neuille for the win once more... probably its going to be decided on the rocks rather than speed though.

[Rallyper]

A rally decided over how many punctures you get...

Pffff ....

[Mintexmemory]

A rally decided over how many punctures you get...

Pffff ....
Or how many you avoid! Just as important as flat to the floor over 8 jumps per km ;)

[Rallyper]

Or how many you avoid! Just as important as flat to the floor over 8 jumps per km ;)

However I´m sure every driver avoids punctures all the time. It´s just that they don´t know when to avoid the ones they get. ;)

[dimviii]

Tidemand with puncture?

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Top boys in WRC2 in trouble, now Tempestini too.

Ingram could take the lead ?!

[KKS]

Kopecky have pucntured two front tyres and change two tyres on stage!

[dimviii]

FRI 15:01 - SS5: KOPECKÝ
The championship leader has reached the end of the stage now. "Anything can happen in any moment. Okay it can all happen for everyone. We changed two wheels at the same time, both on the front so we have no spares."

[N.O.T]

Neuville 5 secs Faster than this moring on split 1

[EstWRC]

Porter sayin that Latvala has the new engine?

[Fast Eddie WRC]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DnDb3eKX0AIDUkK.jpg

[dimviii]

Neuville 2.2 faster at 2nd split

[EstWRC]

Neuville really liking this stage

[N.O.T]

SO neuville did just do a safe run throught he big one and Ogier took the risk...

its going to be a battle...

+4 seconds on split 3, maybe ogier used too much tyre on the previous one.

[AnttiL]

Now Lappi has found some pace for first split

[er88]

Although it would show the difference in the upgrade vs the previous spec, Jari doesn't have the new engine. How could he?

Think Porter got confused because someone tweeted in wanting to know the reason for Jari's pace compared to his team mates, and they suggested it was because Jari had a new engine.
Porter sayin that Latvala has the new engine?

[EstWRC]

splits up and down for everyone

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Chris Ingram leads WRC2 !!! :D

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DnDdbduX0AAkifm.jpg:large

[dimviii]

Neuville will pass Ogier again after this stage

[N.O.T]

Neuville back infront of ogier...

[BigWorm]

What comes around goes around

[dimviii]

Lappi seems fast at this one

[er88]

Great response from Neuville. Quality driving from the both of them

[N.O.T]

If ogier has no tyres left he could lose more on the next one.

[EstWRC]

Cmon Ott this is just pathetic

[deephouse]

Ogier will have better road position tomorrow. Smart playing and still not far away from leader..

Looking at the onboards it shows how this rally really is another real test of driving. Not just about going flat out but picking the way through the rocks and ruts.

Ogier will have better road position tomorrow. Smart playing and still not far away from leader..

impressive as he is first on the road.

Thierry and Ogier continuing to battle it out for the rally and championship, but Ott just isn't there atm.

His title chances look very bleak unless Seb and Thierry hit trouble (which is possible on such a tough event like this).
