[WRC] XION Rally Argentina | 25th - 28th April

[KKS]

ooouu poor split for Meeke

[EstWRC]

and also Mäkinen + Latvala very clever, taking points away. however, finishing 5th or 6th, there is no difference in manu points, coz Sordo doesn't count anyway

well Sordo was nowhere the first two stages today and now suddenly this pace just one car between him and Tänak.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Great run Latvala !

[EstWRC]

Meeke already 2.6 down on Ogier in third split

[er88]

Meeke isn't fast, going to be close. Maybe steering issue hampering him still....

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Wow Ogier by 0.1 !!

[Mirek]

Very spectacular from Ogier as well!

[EstWRC]

Meeke only 1 sec advatanage

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Meeke's losing 3rd.

[KKS]

fk Meeke will loose it :(

[EstWRC]

and its gone, lol

[USER47]

Wow, what a job by Ogier in the last few sectors...

[mousti]

Puncture got him

[EstWRC]

how come Ogier and Neuville always get these results?

just unbelievable

[Mirek]

Every year I really love to spectate the footage el Condor. What a stage it is!

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Meeke's 10s penalty cost him in the end.

[EstWRC]

Ogier gets 20 points from here

[er88]

Ogier and Shitroen's crying worked in the end.

[denkimi]

neuville not going for it, it seems.

[wrc2017]

ANOTHER puncture from Toyota...

[USER47]

Ogier and Shitroen's crying worked in the end.
Any of the top teams would probably be pushing for penalties in the same position. After all Neuville also mentioned he would have wanted Tanak to be penalized if he was still in the running by the end of the day.

[deephouse]

Great performance Hyundai.

[EstWRC]

standings

Neuville 110
Ogier 100
Tänak 82

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Adamo getting results now.

[er88]

Annoying result for Toyota yet again, when they had the speed. Too many issues with the car and punctures this season. It's not good enough

Meeke has maybe 10 punctures this year already.. not normal.

[Tauri_J]

Adamo getting results now.

with luck

[itix]

Meeke has maybe 10 punctures this year already.. not normal.Possibly driving style related. They seem weak in the side wall.

[Morte66]

Meeke had a break failure, had a double puncture (with one spare), lost third gear, got a ten second penalty, had a steering problem, had a third puncture, came 4th, and beat his teammate Latvala who was having his best rally in a while. The thing I want most from Meeke this year is for him to keep his job, and so far so good. I think he was actually quite lucky this rally, because the problems mostly happened near the end of stages and the end of loops; and on another day a less sensible official could have given a 30 second penalty.

Mikkelsen: well done, deserved a clean run and did well when he got it.

Hyundai: good tactics, good luck, great result, congratulations.

[N.O.T]

with luck

since when having a good car that does not break is luck ?

grow up kids...

[racerx1979]

They won manu last year... The biggest disgrace should be Citroen with a half ass car and two car team... At least TGR is bringing 3 sometimes 4 cars at events.

[racerx1979]

And TN was second at one point... He kept it clean this rally. A full deserved win.

[mknight]

In terms of performace Toyota was seemingly fastestest on all first runs of stages and Citroen (Ogier) slowest. In second runs things seemed to turn around with Ogier and Hyundais faster.

Ogier shows why he is multiple champ, will do anything to win and can push over the top when it matters.

On a side note it almost looks like Mikkelsen is forbidden to push on PS, certainly in Sweden he was and here he probably was advised to keep it steady. From team view it certainly makes sense, more than Meeke and Latvala taking points off Tanak.

if you want to use abbreviations of the names rally of drivers like some low life trash eating F1 fan you should go there....

Citroen don't have money. They are poor, since Abu Dhabi pull the plug. Oh, right. They were poor back then too, when they were around. And now with Ogier who wants salary they don't have it even for low class entry and needs Mads to support them aswell.

[flykas]

Interesting rally till the last stage, despite some organisational issues.

Toyotas seem to have reliability issues, can't deny it at this point, but maybe it comes as a disadvantage of squeezing out every bit of performance, because it really looks like it is the best performing car.

Sad for Tannak, this is getting annoying.

Really glad that Meek is doing a good job, I imagine he must think the previous year was really hell according to now. I'm glad he got the opportunity to show that he has great speed.

Great job by Ogier on PS. Also it seemed that after he got his power steering back and was fighting his lost time back he managed to squeeze more out of that Citroen, which is a weird car.

Also some really scary crashes in this rally...

[N.O.T]

too difficult to understand? haha

no, too trashy.

but you live in a place where trash and culture are separated by a very thin line so no wonder you got offended.

[TypeR]

no, too trashy.

yesyesyes, but sry, it's not where I live, not even near. but at least N.O.T is a fully spelled word, a bit trashy also, no?

[racerx1979]

What does NOT stand for besides in desperate need of pussy?

all ready for rally Chile :D

[Sulland]

Good to see Mikkelsen back on form!
been a while.

[mknight]

For tech guys, at 10:40 on Saturday highlights Evans is using Inmarsat IsatPhone 2 (https://www.inmarsat.com/isatphone/) to call the team after crashing.

Didn't look like Tanak had any satphone with him?

Apparently Ford does not have radios this year. Toyota does.

I guess it's to save money, as the radios run through the plane.

[mknight]

Well satphones work even when the plane(relay) is not up and also when the car does not have power. So at this point MSport approach was better, as Tanak seemingly wasn't able to talk with the team after the crash. EDIT: car stopped.

I guess mostly they just use cellphones for this, but not much coverage up the hill in argentina.

[Päss1928]

Tanak seemingly wasn't able to talk with the team after the crash.

Where did he crash?

[AnttiL]

Meeke had a break failure, had a double puncture (with one spare), lost third gear, got a ten second penalty, had a steering problem, had a third puncture, came 4th, and beat his teammate Latvala who was having his best rally in a while.

Latvala had a puncture and the red flag incident on Friday. After that his road position was not optimal for Saturday and Sunday but he made some decent stage times.

He is my new favourite person... hope hyundai wins a lot with him.

and this image needs an infinity gauntlet photoshoped into his hand.

[steve.mandzij]

Latvala had a puncture and the red flag incident on Friday. After that his road position was not optimal for Saturday and Sunday but he made some decent stage times.His power stage time was really good and really surprising too. Where I stood he chucked the car in very sideways, very spectacularly, and I was sure he'd lose some time. One of his best stages in a while. He's most definitely the crowd favorite! :D

Here's Tanak's run through my spot; the mountain in front of us allowed us to follow the cars all the way up to El Cóndor, and as they disappeared the next car was already arriving.

Did Ogier report it? Novadays everything he says goes straight into penalties to others... Haha

[mknight]

I watched the 1 hour review as there sometimes are things not shown in alllive.
The rough number of stage end and service park interviews, listed by standings at finish:
(all numbers are approximate)

Neuville: 1 (after finish)
Mikkelsen: 0
Ogier: 6-7
Meeke: 8+
Latvala: ~2
Sordo: 0
Suninen: 1
Tanak: 2 (+ a section about his movie)

Evans: 0
Lappi: 2

[Pršljen]

Yes, Meeke usually is the star of these reviews. No wonder that Suninen and Lappi aren't since they have close to none charism but still...They should do it better.
