So wishbones some overweight from homologation, not saying how much, or do they mean 20-25 grams? My english lacks a bit here...

A bit gready fining with 30000 Euros I think.

Actually 5000 with 25000 more if they don’t fix it?

"Power-Sunday" is interesting idea, I just wonder, what kind of team-tactics it opens.

For example - you can play a lot of points to your no. 1 in team forcing others to be slower. Like it was on the powerstage - only top3 were fighting for the win there. It may end up to be worse than it was at the moment. It easier to play tactics over day then over 1 stage.

But everyone has to go fast those first 2 or 3 stages otherwise you end up being in position where you can't do any tactics.
You may also end up being 1 - 2 - 3 and others have to push.
I'd say there would be less of the Sunday cruising than now

5000 with 25000 if it happens again within 12 months. They are supposed to fix the wrong values in the Homologation forms right away (see last paragraph)

Let's assume that during the three first stages one driver is like 30 seconds quicker than the second. Is he then allowed to cruise for the last stage in front of the TV cameras?

What do you think?

A strong feeling of déjà vu on Turkey. Only the top 4 crews were able to escape from tyres or tech issues in the roughest stages of the season, Neuville has failed on a critical moment for the title bid, Tanak can’t trust on the Yaris reliability and Ogier has an entire team working for him to become WDC; against most odds, it seems he may again succeed…

But he's been flying for 3 stages to get the lead. Now he can cruise those first 3 stages and go flat out only in the last one.
So 3 stages against 1.

Is there any videos of Tänak from when his ECU broke with local audio? I only saw what was in all-live but there was no audio.

Is there any audio at all when they are not in "stage mode"? Like usual stage-end situation, someone press "road mode" button and it turns mic off.

Did you mean that maybe there's some spectator filmed video?

I dont know really. Today at the office my colleagues spoke about rather strong language being used by Martin there, i was wondering if it was heard in some video or did any bystanders spread this. But maybe it is just rumor spreading...

The sushibox stopped working again, would be weird if there wasnt any strong language.

Last year after Turkey, with the same 3 rounds to go

Neuville 177
Tänak 164
Ogier 154

and in the end it was Ogier who won the title with 18 point lead.

Tänak led all three rallies at some point but was hit by bunch of problems - some own fault, some not. This year on average he seems to have even bigger speed advantage over Ogier and he hardly has made own mistakes, so if Yaris will not break down...
