[WRC] Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2019

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Come on Gus !

[Gevin]

Sordo -3s SPL2

[EstWRC]

SS2 is also live by the way

[Tauri_J]

Sordo flying! How about that...

always fast here + road order

[mknight]

For me Greensmith already did all that was needed... not being the slowest WRC in a single split or stage. Now he could just cruise rest of the rally cause he made himself visible... unlike Tidemand.

Kind of surprising imo as in R5s he never really impressed me.

[Gevin]

Gus SPL1 +2s to Sordo, amazing.

[racerx1979]

Greensmith first split quite competitive!

Road is unlocked. Sounds silly but sometimes the cleaning starts after 6-7 cars have gone through. Eventually they will get to the bedrock of the surface where the grip is extremely high. Gus will have a great time, but mostly due to cleaning.

Things get even more interesting because the faster guys will have more time wear. The bedrock is a harder surface hence more tire wear.

[AnttiL]

Road is unlocked. Sounds silly but sometimes the cleaning starts after 6-7 cars have gone through. Eventually they will get to the bedrock of the surface where the grip is extremely high. Gus will have a great time, but mostly due to cleaning.

We remember Sardegna 2016 where Camilli and Abbring made fastest times. But still, someone needs to drive the car even through the clean road.

[Allez Andruet]

Adamo's driver roulette just got even more thrilling.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Not showing Greensmith !! :(

[er88]

Not showing Greensmith !! :(Sounds harsh but he's a part timer and I'd rather watch the championship contenders ...

[Allez Andruet]

Not showing Greensmith !! :(

Really poor decision from the production team. Especially considering the speed Greensmith was pushing.

[Gevin]

Not showing because Tänak and Ogier on SS2

[AnttiL]

Most likely the four minute gaps weren't planned. In 3 min gaps, we would have seen even some WRC2Pro.

[tc10a]

Blame the 4 minutes gaps

[EstWRC]

this stage looks much more lose

[Fast Eddie WRC]

8th fastest for Gus. Nice.

[AnttiL]

In WRC2Pro Rovanperä fastest at split 1

[EstWRC]

beautiful shot of Tänak on tha flat out section!

[Allez Andruet]

Neuville not so fast.

[AnttiL]

Meeke also slowest at first split

[Allez Andruet]

Dust?

[AnttiL]

Rovanperä leads WRC2Pro after SS1

[Allez Andruet]

Neuville losing a lot now.

[EstWRC]

Evans again very fast, +0.2 in first split

[EstWRC]

and gave 5 seconds away with just couple of next kilometres....

[Allez Andruet]

Ogier's been quite impressive on this stage if we look at the splits.

[AnttiL]

Evans again very fast, +0.2 in first split

and instantly slower in split 2

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Stall by Neuville.

[EstWRC]

Neuville stalled the engine in junction

[er88]

Could be again the case that cleaning only starts really making an impact after 6/7cars

[EstWRC]

Meeke having intercom problems, damn

[er88]

Meeke got intercom issues

[EstWRC]

but the time isnt bad at all considering it

[er88]

Brand new stages as well, that's unlucky.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Not happy !!

[EstWRC]

haha, that was a clear message to the Toyota team from Meeke

[AnttiL]

Meeke was mad

[er88]

Not one note all stage, lot of work for Seb

[racerx1979]

F@ck f@ck!!! Love Meeke lol

[Dug83]

Seb Marshall hybrid wasn't done up!

[racerx1979]

haha, that was a clear message to the Toyota team from Meeke

Meeke making up for Latvala. Toyota can't get a break hahahaha

[Allez Andruet]

If the bosses at TGR had told JML to keep cool at stage ends, they obviously forgot to pass the message to Meeke.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Road still looks loose from Evans OB.

[er88]

If the bosses at TGR had told JML to keep cool at stage ends, they obviously forgot to pass the message to Meeke.Who wouldn't be pissed at having no intercom all stage? Natural reaction

[racerx1979]

Evans flat?? Looks like right rear

[EstWRC]

Meekes time is amazing without intercom

[er88]

Damn Evans

[AnttiL]

Lappi going well at split 2

[EstWRC]

Evans with some problems it seems, such a shame

[racerx1979]

Car is pushing on right hand corners... Looks like a flat to me or car is overheating and down on power

[EstWRC]

Lappi just +1.3 in spl3

[Allez Andruet]

Meekes time is amazing without intercom

Like Grönholm in Finland in 2004/5 when he had no intercom for one stage. If Meeke spoke Finnish, he probably would have said "tulin sen minkä näin" like Grönholm did. Impressive stuff.

[Rallyper]

For me Greensmith already did all that was needed... not being the slowest WRC in a single split or stage. Now he could just cruise rest of the rally cause he made himself visible... unlike Tidemand.

Kind of surprising imo as in R5s he never really impressed me.

You´re talking b**l. Tidemand also di top ten stagetimes in MC. His first event. And that was way harder rally. GG doing well and hopefully other people pay his bills, unlike Tidemand case.

[AnttiL]

Like Grönholm in Finland in 2004/5 when he had no intercom for one stage. If Meeke spoke Finnish, he probably would have said "tulin sen minkä näin" like Grönholm did. Impressive stuff.

2005 in Vellipohja when the big jump made Rautiainen have trouble breathing. It was mostly a new stage as well. Next one was Mökkiperä and Marcus promised not to jump too much, and then in the beginning he jumped instantly hard and Rautiainen couldn't again speak for that stage either.

[AnttiL]

You´re talking b**l. Tidemand also di top ten stagetimes in MC. His first event.


Well, he was the slowest WRC car on all but one stage, sometimes slower than R5 cars.

[EstWRC]

classic Marcus :D

[krissucool]

You´re talking b**l. Tidemand also di top ten stagetimes in MC. His first event. And that was way harder rally. GG doing well and hopefully other people pay his bills, unlike Tidemand case.

Top 10 times? :D :D

How many WRC drivers were there?

[AnttiL]

Latvala coming fast now.

[er88]

Meeke channelled his anger well in this stage. Could've easily lost concentration and binned it knowing his past :D

[Allez Andruet]

2005 in Vellipohja when the big jump made Rautiainen have trouble breathing. It was mostly a new stage as well. Next one was Mökkiperä and Marcus promised not to jump too much, and then in the beginning he jumped instantly hard and Rautiainen couldn't again speak for that stage either.

Oh, it was that case!

Btw, it's fun as hell trying to imitate that mute version of Rautiainen, especially after few beers. Never heard anyone nailing it properly.

[mknight]

You´re talking b**l. Tidemand also di top ten stagetimes in MC. His first event. And that was way harder rally. GG doing well and hopefully other people pay his bills, unlike Tidemand case.

Tidemand wasn't the slowest WRC on a single stage in MC, beating Suninen by 10s (https://www.ewrc-results.com/results/52398-rallye-automobile-de-monte-carlo-2019/?s=192463 ), every other stage he was slowest WRC. Sure often it was in top 10 cause there were no more WRCs.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Go Teemu !

[Rallyper]

Well, he was the slowest WRC car on all but one stage, sometimes slower than R5 cars.

Don´t compare what can´t be compared. Let´s leave it there. And hope GG´s debut ends up well, and better than Tidemand. Be aware of the differences, please.

[EstWRC]

Suninen has lost a junk of time somehow

[Rallyper]

Tidemand wasn't the slowest WRC on a single stage in MC, beating Suninen by 10s (https://www.ewrc-results.com/results/52398-rallye-automobile-de-monte-carlo-2019/?s=192463 ), every other stage he was slowest WRC. Sure often it was in top 10 cause there were no more WRCs.

Ending up in 8th in MC. With 11 WRC17 cars. And, in Portugal there is 11 WRC17 cars...
As said, don´t compare what cant be compared...

[mknight]

Was looking for Hutunen on SS1 and somehow he starts first as number 34, so no time yet.

[steve.mandzij]

Don´t compare what can´t be compared. Let´s leave it there. And hope GG´s debut ends up well, and better than Tidemand. Be aware of the differences, please.Different approaches to their debut, maybe, but Greensmith's effort is already is 100% more impressive than Pontus', especially as he isn't a former champion.

[Gevin]

1 min to SS3, so we dont see Gus again :D

[EstWRC]

Suninen too having problems, what the heck M-sport

[Gevin]

Overheating issue?

[EstWRC]

Great times on this longest stage of today from Ogier and Tänak with being first and second on the road.

[mknight]

Well, in Portugal there is 11 WRC17 cars...
As said, don´t compare what cant be compared...

a) You started screaming and comparing

b) My point was that Greemsmith made himself visible (on this rally) already. Tidemands goal in Monte wasn't really that indeed, but he certainly wasn't visible there.

[AnttiL]

Was looking for Hutunen on SS1 and somehow he starts first as number 34, so no time yet.

Not sure if it was mentioned on this forum but Huttunen said to Finnish media that he cannot drive fast or the car breaks. They broke the radiator already on the shakedown. He's very frustrated about the car being so bad.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Sordo saving his tyres.

[AnttiL]

Also, Greensmith is now running as the slowest WRC car

[Gevin]

At least one stage win for Tänak 29. events in row :)

[Rallyper]

Different approaches to their debut, maybe, but Greensmith's effort is already is 100% more impressive than Pontus', especially as he isn't a former champion.

You funny people. Just leave the discussion. It´s Portugal here...

[Rallyper]

Huttunen lost over 30 secs on SS1. Puncture?

[Allez Andruet]

Huttunen lost over 30 secs on SS1. Puncture?

Hyundai.

[mknight]

Huttunen was 3-4th around Kopecky on last split so something surely happened after.

[Rallyper]

Hyundai.

No, he had good splits.

[EstWRC]

Meeke still with intercom problems it seems

[AnttiL]

Rovanperä totally dominating RC2

[Rallyper]

He should.

[AnttiL]

Neuville looking good towards the stage end

[EstWRC]

Neuville finally got up to speed

[EstWRC]

Loeb stopped just after the start!


going again now but very slowly

[Tauri_J]

loeb stopped for a while

[AL14]

I couldn't follow the rally previously and my god Ott, how did he find that speed? Really!

[Gevin]

Loeb moving 30km/h yes

[AnttiL]

Loeb moving 30km/h yes

And "all the drama" All Live shows Evans...

[EstWRC]

stopped again

[Gevin]

And now stopped.

[Gevin]

No turbo?

[EstWRC]

mechanical unfortunately

[er88]

Fuck sake Hyundai

[KKS]

Loeb - change a fuel pump! Iu must be two in your car!

[AL14]

Not Loeb's day

[EstWRC]

Lappi has lost 10 secs, because of Loebs dust i guess

[Gevin]

Loeb didnt make any dust driving 20km/h. And he was stopped 1min before Lappi came

[mknight]

Well without service it's doubtful they will be able to fix anything.

[AnttiL]

Loeb didnt make any dust driving 20km/h. And he was stopped 1min before Lappi came

Looks like he is still making dust...could also be difficult to overtake on the narrow road.

[EstWRC]

Looks like he is still making dust...could also be difficult to overtake on the narrow road.

another 10 secson in next split

must be a problem

[Rallyper]

Lappi has lost 10 secs, because of Loebs dust i guess

I should say EPL loosing time bcs of car. Breaking early and not stepping on it in corners...
Visibilty looks ok.

[Allez Andruet]

Come on Seb, pull over now.

[KKS]

Toyota - intercom useless dogs
Hyundai - fuel pressure useless dogs
M-Sport - overheating useless dogs
Citroen - ?

[AnttiL]

Puncture for Lappi

[KKS]

Toyota - intercom useless dogs
Hyundai - fuel pressure useless dogs
M-Sport - overheating useless dogs
Citroen - ?
puncture useless dogs

[Rallyper]

Puncture for EPL.

[er88]

Lappi Lappi Lappi....

[EstWRC]

why is Latvala slow?

[Tauri_J]

sordo slow?

[EstWRC]

Sordo going slow too

what the hell is happening


stopped now

[AnttiL]

haha Becsy quoting Ott's "in the stage!" :D

[er88]

Some of the later starters just haven't made the upmost of their road position I'm afraid, for a variety of reasons. Could get gobbled up in the afternoon unless it keeps cleaning...

[Rallyper]

Sordo stopped as well. Now going. Similar to Loeb?

[EstWRC]

Sordo same issue as Loeb?

[mknight]

Well Hyundai did had somehow similar issues on SSS in Mexico 2017.

[Allez Andruet]

I wanna see how Adamo looks right now.

[er88]

30 point lead in the manufacturers potentially goes up in smoke, just like that in one cruel stage...

[EstWRC]

we have a Toyota 1-2-3 after morning stages in the overall

[wrc2017]

I think its not a free lunch.. i think while they have grip, its comes at the expense of more tyre wear.. especially with mediums

[racerx1979]

Sordo and Loeb done..what a damn shame. Who do they fire now?? Neuville cannot afford another zero. Sordo doing so well too...

[Rallyper]

Maybe fuel goes steamy in the heat? Wrong mounted fuel hoses ...?

[EstWRC]

this is heartbreaking watching SOrdo at the moment

damn, 3 dudes out contention with this stage

[racerx1979]

[QUOTE=Rallyper;1218689]Maybe fuel goes steamy in the heat?

Could be bad fuel or faulty pumps.

[AnttiL]

I wanna see how Adamo looks right now.

https://i.makeagif.com/media/3-10-2015/mbhN2t.gif

[er88]

Meeke's intercom issues suddenly look like a drop in the ocean compared to Lappi and the two Hyundais...

[racerx1979]

But both cars down on power seems like a pump issue. The pumps cool off and the car goes... Once they get hot the car shuts down. Or it could be an ignition issue.

My guess is faulty pumps or ignition.

[EstWRC]

man that shot of Adamo walking was scary, i was scared even here in estonia far away

[Essaj]

Mads has not started on SS3 and is no where near the start either.

[Rallyper]

It´s for sure a fuel issue.

[racerx1979]

Neuville must be sh!thing his Alpinestar jumpers right this minute ... Not a good sign.

[EstWRC]

nice and steady morning from Gus

[er88]

man that shot of Adamo walking was scary, i was scared even here in estonia far awayNever normally feel sorry for Molly or any of the other interviewers with some of their stupid questions, but it's a scary prospect interviewing Adamo following this....


"How do you feel Adamo"? would be a good way to start if you want to end your life lol

[er88]

This rally always throws up drama. Big drama

[Gevin]

They sent Julien there, no Molly :D

[wrc2017]

It´s for sure a fuel issue.lack of it??

[er88]

They sent Julien there, no Molly :DVery wise decision lol

[Gevin]

Fuel pressure looks like

[EstWRC]

brilliant answers again from Adamo, what a character!

[er88]

So blunt and quick witted. Julien did ok tbf

[AnttiL]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D75EdYPXoAAGnnm.png

No words needed.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Just back in... what happened with Evans on SS2, did we hear any more info ?

[Gevin]

Looks like Ford overheating problems, Suninen had it also.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

So SS3 a Hyundai disaster and no mid-day service !

[cali]

Classic interview with Adamo :D I love this guy :D

[mknight]

Yeah well he seemed to know exactly what the issue was and that it was a team mistake which might potentially cost them all 3 cars.

[Gevin]

https://www.upload.ee/image/10034909/Screen_Shot_2019-05-31_at_14.40.35.png

[EstWRC]

Östberg

⚠️UPDATE⚠️ We're having technical issues. We'll try a temporary fix and try to get through the day

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Andrea Adamo, boss of Hyundai:
"There is a problem in the fuel system. We know that we have made a mistake and it will not happen in future. We still have one car running and all we can do is give Thierry as much support as possible."

[Gevin]

3,2s slower than Kalle on SS3

[RS]

Presume Ostberg will have a penalty for being late into the stage?

[Got Mail]

Presume Ostberg will have a penalty for being late into the stage?

For sure.

[denkimi]

Weird. Something completely wrong like the fuel itself wouldn't have lasted for 30km's. If its the fuel system itself it would be an extreme coincidence to happen on both cars at the same time.

Could they have made a mistake with calculating the amount of fuel?

[AnttiL]

Decent pace from Katsuta, second in normal WRC2 and fourth in RC2 (third once Østberg gets time penalties)

[AnttiL]

Could they have made a mistake with calculating the amount of fuel?
Adamo said "we're not so stupid"

[Got Mail]

Decent pace from Katsuta, second in normal WRC2 and fourth in RC2 (third once Østberg gets time penalties)

Pirelli may be giving an advantage today.

[denkimi]

So sordo also made it to the finish, more than 18 minutes slower.
Let's see if they can fix it.

[AnttiL]

Pirelli may be giving an advantage today.

Could be, Pietarinen also fourth fastest RC2 in Arganil with Pirellis.

[AnttiL]

Østberg has brake problems and a wheel came off during a road section which then broke a wishbone.

[EstWRC]

#tyre info - Day 1 afternoon

All the Michelin @OfficialWRC drivers with 5 MICHELIN LTX Force H4 (Hard) except @SebOgier with 3H+2M6 (Medium)

#MichelinWRC #RallyPortugal

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Greensmith quite happy with his WRC1 start and rightly so:

�� “Not a great stage 2, but the rest has been pretty good & the car is so much fun to drive. If we could find a few more tenths per km in the afternoon, I’ll be very happy”. #GG44

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Loeb thinks fuel pressure problem is a heat issue.

[Rallyper]

Loeb thinks fuel pressure problem is a heat issue.

Like I said. If mounting a fuelhose wrong, it could get steamy fuel to hinder the flow. When very hot that is.

Happened even in the 70´s, with Saab V4...

[wia5958]

Did Meeke get intercom sorted?

[mknight]

Adamo said "we're not so stupid"

Loeb retired once with Xsara in Turkey due to running out if fuel.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Good view of the surface from Ogier's camera... lots of loose stones.

[racerx1979]

Like I said. If mounting a fuelhose wrong, it could get steamy fuel to hinder the flow. When very hot that is.

Happened even in the 70´s, with Saab V4...

That would be a fairly stupid mistake on their part. If routing of the fuel line is causing the fuel to boil it's would be a shame.

The Yanks call it vapor lock. Basically fuel starting to boil and dissipate. See the video below and go to 1:35 min.

https://youtu.be/cadNfSNi_Oc

[Rallyper]

Vapor lock. That´s the word, mate! :)

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Porter on comms thinks its the fuel expanding in the tank and a safety sensor cutting it off.

[dimviii]

Young Madeiran dies on the way to the Rally Portugal

https://www.madeiraislandnews.com/2019/05/young-madeiran-dies-on-the-way-to-the-rally-portugal.html

[er88]

Ott thinks cleaning could be worse this afternoon and guys at the back could capitalise

[dimviii]

https://www.facebook.com/DanielElenaOfficiel/videos/463056014449835/

[EstWRC]

Tänak only 7 secs faster than this morning compared to Neuville and Ogier who were 15 and 16 secs faster

[dimviii]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D74urlgWwAAgSgW.jpg

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Ha wink from Meeke !

[Rallyper]

Meeke. :)

[dimviii]

"At the start of the ES3, I pass the 1st, the 2nd, then the ratatouille engine.It is known on the WRC, there is a mandatory safety valve to block the arrival of gasoline in case of crash. The problem is that this valve does not always work very well, because of the heat in this case in my opinion, so we have a very small fuel supply and the car is traveling at 20 km / h. speed during a big part of the stage, we say that it's dead and that we would be better at the pool ", analyzed the unlucky Loeb at our microphone.

"It's not a real audience this afternoon so we have to look at whether we know how to fix it, the motivation is not the same, the stakes either, they are busy watching so that this problem does not happen any more. we, at Dani's and Thierry's, "he concluded.

[er88]

Loeb on the pace. Shame it's game over

[AnttiL]

Good opening split from Suninen

[AnttiL]

And Latvala fastest on split 2

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Evans pipped by 0.1s :(

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Yes Teemu !

[jparker]

I wanna see how Adamo looks right now.

Mikkelsen is having a good laugh right now.
Better drive slow and finish 5-6th, than loose 2 cars in first 3 stages.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

SS4 Greensmith quicker than Ogier & Neuville. ;)

[Gevin]

Mikkelsen is having a good laugh right now.
Better drive slow and finish 5-6th, than loose 2 cars in first 3 stages.

You are just stupid, thats it. It wasnt even a drivers fault.

[er88]

Mikkelsen is having a good laugh right now.
Better drive slow and finish 5-6th, than loose 2 cars in first 3 stages.Here's the village idiot...

[AnttiL]

Sordo fastest at SS4

[Tauri_J]

Mikkelsen is having a good laugh right now.
Better drive slow and finish 5-6th, than loose 2 cars in first 3 stages.

loooool

[doubled1978]

Mikkelsen is having a good laugh right now.
Better drive slow and finish 5-6th, than loose 2 cars in first 3 stages.

Odd comment. You think the car wouldn’t have stopped if Mikkelsen was driving it?

[KKS]

Mikkelsen is having a good laugh right now.
Better drive slow and finish 5-6th, than loose 2 cars in first 3 stages.
Mikkelsen even not try to continue on this circumstances.

[AnttiL]

Rovanperä losing time

[mknight]

Mikkelsen even not try to continue on this circumstances.
It was hard to top the retard-level of that comment but you just manged it.

[wia5958]

Mikkelsen is having a good laugh right now.
Better drive slow and finish 5-6th, than loose 2 cars in first 3 stages.
What a plank you are

[AnttiL]

Now Tänak slower than Ogier at last split

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Tanak slower than Ogier !

[Gevin]

Stage looking kinda rough, so all ok :)

[er88]

Very close between top guys on the splits

[RS]

Was it a puncture for Kalle?

Gryazin very quick on first split.

[jparker]

Calm down please, I didn't know it's a car issue, but you can keep going if that amuses you.

[Gevin]

Evans stopped

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Noooo Evans :(

[EstWRC]

It seems the stage gets more worse and worse for late starters

[Francis44]

Evans stopped right in front of me.

[Rallyper]

Who thought Katsuta should lead WRC2 after four stages...

[Francis44]

Cars seems to cut without fuel, or overheating.

[Rallyper]

"Roadsection mode..." on the radio ...

[er88]

Damn Evans in trouble. Gutting

[EstWRC]

Nooooooooo

Again one guy removed ahead of Ogier and Neuville

[AnttiL]

Who thought Katsuta should lead WRC2 after four stages...

He doesn't, Veiby does.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Bollocks. Evans was going pretty well here.

[Tauri_J]

Evans running just ahead of Lappi

[Gevin]

Lappi in dust bcs Evans

[Rallyper]

He doesn't, Veiby does.

Yes... now he does... :) :)

[er88]

Meeke just can't get hard tyres working in the Yaris


Edit - puncture warning light

[EstWRC]

Lappi losing a lot on Evans dust

[er88]

Please pull over Evans, Lappi is gonna bin it if he doesn't settle down

[Francis44]

Evans restarted the stage like 20 seconds before Lappi passed us.

[Tauri_J]

Why would Evans have to stop, Julien?

[Gevin]

Yeah, from heli we can see them both, 20s between them

[Gevin]

Evans do not have to stop, all good. Lappi will get time back

[er88]

Still, can't believe Evans wouldn't have realised he'd taken nearly 4minutes to start the car again? He'd have known no other car would've passed so probably should've waited 20s till Lappi passed...

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Just need to compensate Lappi. Simple.

[Tauri_J]

Still, can't believe Evans wouldn't have realised he'd taken nearly 4minutes to start the car again? He'd have known no other car would've passed so probably should've waited 20s till Lappi passed...
he was up to full speed so why should he wait for lappi? Lappi will get notional time

[AnttiL]

Suninen flying!

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Go on Teemu.

[er88]

he was up to full speed so why should he wait for lappi? Lappi will get notional timeI meant before he rejoined. He could've sat and waited an extra 10-20secs so Lappi would pass

[EstWRC]

Cmon teemu hold it now

[krissucool]

Calm down please, I didn't know it's a car issue, but you can keep going if that amuses you.

Then why would you comment if you are not following the rally???

[er88]

Suninen past Meeke and closing on Jari!!!! Great stage

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Nice job Teemu !

[EstWRC]

Hats off Teemu. Amazing stage

[er88]

What a performance!!! :)

[EstWRC]

Ogier just 6 secs from Meeke

[mknight]

I'd say it's the same as all 3 previous gravel rallies with Toyota clearly fastest in first passes but not so fast on second ones.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Greensmith not happy losing the stage mode.

[RS]

Confirmed: it was puncture for Kalle in SS4.

[Got Mail]

I meant before he rejoined. He could've sat and waited an extra 10-20secs so Lappi would pass

And follow in EP's dust for remainder of the stage?

With no chance of getting a nominal?

[Rallyper]

Tidemand wasn't the slowest WRC on a single stage in MC, beating Suninen by 10s (https://www.ewrc-results.com/results/52398-rallye-automobile-de-monte-carlo-2019/?s=192463 ), every other stage he was slowest WRC. Sure often it was in top 10 cause there were no more WRCs.

I think this can be applied on your favourite as well ... ;)
