so in this case definitely strange. Cuz crews still have to drive this road. For detour - it make sense

[MartijnS]

Seriously snowing now at ss12 I think, same photographer ^^ just posted a short video on his IG story.

It's the highest point of SS9 where there also was most snow in the morning
Might easily by just raining om SS8 and most of SS7.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Awesome morning to watch on those brilliant mountain roads with a bit of slush to catch out the unwary.

Bring on the afternoon !

[dimviii]

This one might be most tricky for tires, for 3rd they put on 2 winter, for mid full wet.

we dont expect the snowy patches to have melt?

[Mirek]

A lot more snow than in the first run but only in the highest section of the stage.

Stalled engine for Taka.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Wow snowy !!

[TypeR]

Lappi may be right with his 3 FW + 3 Snow tires.. vs others 4 FW + 2 snow

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Proper Monte-style - big changes within the stage.

[Mirek]

Greensmith crashed

[Augury]

Big crash for Gus.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Noooo Gus !

[er88]

Big off

[Rallyper]

GG off!!

[EstWRC]

Tänak very slow in first split +6 sec

[polomayu]

What was the red thing in front of the car?

[seb_sh]

What was the red thing in front of the car?

could have been one of the people there on the side of the hill

[er88]

Tanak???

[mknight]

Looked awfully close to the spectators om right.

[SubaruNorway]

What was the red thing in front of the car?

Looked like a bollard was placed on the left there before they crashed, i thought it was person at first!

[er88]

Looked awfully close to the spectators om right.I'm very worried about that. Hopefully all ok

[Tauri_J]

I thought that too, scaryy

[TypeR]

Tänak very slow.. Wouldn't bet on his win in Monte 2021..

[EstWRC]

bye Hyundai manu title

[mknight]

Tanak prbly put on the 2 snow tires.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Shame for Greensmith, he was just starting to show some better times on the last couple of stages.

[EstWRC]

Tanak prbly put on the 2 snow tires.

dunno

already 18 sec loss in second split

[EstWRC]

stage stopped now?

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Veiby now off like Gus.

[Mirek]

Veiby crashed on the same spot.

[er88]

Why doesn't the reporter ask Taka about going past Gus?!?!

[Essaj]

Red flagged

[KKS]

Tanak was very lucky one

[Rallyper]

Red flag! This is a farse.

Edit: Ok. Car blocking the road. Without 20 finns with ropes, it still will for minutes.

[EstWRC]

Tänak was lucky here, was losing a lot

of course dont know what the nominal time for him will be

[SubaruNorway]

Blocking the road probably

[KKS]

Why doesn't the reporter ask Taka about going past Gus?!?!
Cuz he down into valley

[KKS]

Red flag! This is a farse.
Never allow circuit orga to do a rally event

[Mirek]

OK, this time there's no other chance what to do. Veiby is totally blocking the road.

[Essaj]

Red flag! This is a farse.

Road is completely blocked? what's the farse here?

[EstWRC]

i wonder if Ogiers second split is slow becuase of red flag or he reached it before that

he was just 2 secs faster than Ott in split 1 and even slower on second split

[Mirek]

Never allow circuit orga to do a rally event

What could have been done to prevent this cancelation? I say nothing except not running the rally at all.

[er88]

Cuz he down into valleyBut she didn't even ask if she saw him, or the ok boards etc. Just general stock questions

[KKS]

a perfect weather for some rally battle ruins by few amateurs
shame

[dimviii]

really scary,watch these people

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EoeXS8MWMAAwW-P?format=jpg&name=small

[Sulland]

But they are enough people to turn it to let the others through.. pls do something, and they did!!

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Whats up with Tanak to make him slow ?

[Essaj]

That crash site looked like a war zone :D

[Lead]

The stage is cancelled?

[KKS]

What could have been done to prevent this cancelation? I say nothing except not running the rally at all.
10 spectators and 1 rope
even if Kalle must stop and wait, 6min it's a lot of time to move car to safe position and not effect to cars down the order

[Rallyper]

Road is completely blocked? what's the farse here?

Well, actually I´ve been stopped many times on stages while cars blocking the road. However this wasn´t know while writing. Read my edit.

[Portimao]

Amazing conditions, such commitment, I love it.

[EstWRC]

Tänak stopped and asking if Veiby was okay, nice gesture

[Fast Eddie WRC]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EoeajKgXUAE3cfV?format=jpg&name=medium

[mknight]

Can't see they will let that run for anyone with those 2 cars lying around.

There is no safe position there with a cliff on one side and rails on the other especially considering that it's a place where 2/3 cars crashed and others will most likely have big moments there too, i.e. nearly for sure somebody else would hit the standing car.

[Rallyper]

really scary,watch these people

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EoeXS8MWMAAwW-P?format=jpg&name=small

Guess the car had already turned 180 degress, but still...

[Rallyper]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EoeajKgXUAE3cfV?format=jpg&name=medium

This looks nasty as well.

[Sulland]

Do the car have heaters to keep the mist off the windows?

[EstWRC]

IMO it would be fair to give no times at all fro this stage

but im still interested if Ogier reached the split2 before red flag or not

[SubaruNorway]

But she didn't even ask if she saw him, or the ok boards etc. Just general stock questions
They have no info at the stage end, Molly says it too that often It looks so dumb because they don't know what's going on the stage

[KKS]

IMO it would be fair to give no times at all fro this stage

but im still interested if Ogier reached the split2 before red flag or not
and what the option? Only WRCar was Katsuta so if stage canceled so all WRC got his time anyway

[denkimi]

Tänak stopped and asking if Veiby was okay, nice gesture
If there's no OK sign on the car he is obligated to stop and check.

[Rallyper]

What about rest of the day, then?

[Essaj]

Ogier, Evans, Lappi and Sordo will have brand new tires on the next stage aswell, if that plays part in these conditions.

[denkimi]

Do the car have heaters to keep the mist off the windows?
They have heated windscreens.

[Portimao]

What about rest of the day, then?

It's 2020 so I won't be surprised if cancelled.

[PLuto]

They have no info at the stage end, Molly says it too that often It looks so dumb because they don't know what's going on the stage

But it is their mistake they are not able to manage delivering info to them in time... In these days with modern technologies it is not so difficult...

[mknight]

What about rest of the day, then?

Yeez, lets panic more.

They let Sordo in and he will just drive trough.

They are holding Tidemand and all rest at start, will probably see if they can move the cars before letting him in.
I think that's still unlikely since Greensmith is below the road and the guardrail is missing. So likely stage cancelled for rest.

But cars can get by now, so no worries for other stages atm.

[dimviii]

They have heated windscreens.

from the way they mist they dont seem to have.
Cars i ve driven with heated windscreen they never mist.

[Sulland]

They have heated windscreens.

Ok, both wrc and all R5s?

[Francis44]

Unlucky because in most other places you could push the car out of the road, there its impossible, armco on one side, slope on the other.

No fault of the organizers at all.

[Alex009]

This is a joke. Its like formula nowadays, red flag asap something interesting happen. This is boring.

Spectators could move the car in couple of minutes! Warning to other drivers 500m before the place and continue. Fucking retards.

Rallying will be dead soon.

[PLuto]

I dont think so. Fourmaux is on the stage too...

[Sulland]

Evans Toyota had paper towels in the roof vents, to keep water from comimg in, and missing. So not very good seals on them.

[mknight]

I dont think so. Fourmaux is on the stage too...

Just saw that yes, so imo they have to cancel it for rest of WRC2/3 at minimum now. Interesting thing is that Formaux should start after Tidemand, but I maybe Tidemand turned of tracking? (is that possible outside of service?)

You are a joke and those that agree with you.
Already Veiby's crash "into" Greensmiths crash scene below the edge could have ended with fatalities form spectators "that are not there". Imagine then press then.

[Essaj]

Tons of snow coming down to SS12 :eek:

[denkimi]

from the way they mist they dont seem to have.
Cars i ve driven with heated windscreen they never mist.
Just because they don't seem to work doesn't mean they don't have them.

Unless they should have banned them recently.

Have you tried to push a car with no front wheels? Veibys car is not going anywhere without a tow truck.

[dimviii]

https://www.zupimages.net/up/20/49/oyqt.jpg

[KKS]

OMG tell somebody to orga what a re-group was invented for

[Alex009]

Have you tried to push a car with no front wheels? Veibys car is not going anywhere without a tow truck.

They already moved it so cars can go past.

[dimviii]

Just because they don't seem to work doesn't mean they don't have them.

Unless they should have banned them recently.
.

and why they dont use them while they have?

[dimviii]

Gus replay
https://twitter.com/RubnPerez/status/1335209838763184128

[Sulland]

But they could have waited for the TowTruck to drag up the Fiesta, that might still be driveable, and pick op the rest of Veibys car, and continued.

Is it TV times that prevent them from doing this?

[er88]

Veiby might have just helped Hyundai in their manufacturers hopes, with getting the stage red flagged :D

Wonder why Tanak was off the pace, whether it was different tyre option or something else etc

[KKS]

But rally from the beginning was without special stages, so we back to the roots. Just crawling through roads and hoping that car get on-time into TC ...

:burp:

[dimviii]

10 min delay for next stage

[T16]

Gus replay
https://twitter.com/RubnPerez/status/1335209838763184128

So, what is the red object at about 18 secs?

[PLuto]

Just saw that yes, so imo they have to cancel it for rest of WRC2/3 at minimum now. Interesting thing is that Formaux should start after Tidemand, but I maybe Tidemand turned of tracking? (is that possible outside of service?)

Cancelled for all...

[KKS]

So, what is the red object at about 18 secs?
tyres. They put tyres stuck on every guard-rail ending

[Mirek]

They already moved it so cars can go past.

At a speed of 10 km/h. If they run on speed the next one coming would hit it because it was on a place where 2/3 cars crashed, i.e. others would not pass without difficulties.

[the sniper]

So, what is the red object at about 18 secs?

You can see it here. Had me worried at first...


https://www.zupimages.net/up/20/49/oyqt.jpg

[Sulland]

Who has winter tyres in the boot?
they seem to be needing them for the next stages.

[denkimi]

and why they dont use them while they have?
Don't ask me, i'm not the one driving.

[Mirek]

and why they dont use them while they have?

I'd say it's reasonably worse with rally cars than with stock cars because there is no airconditioning which greatly reduces air humidity.

[mknight]

Who has winter tyres in the boot?
they seem to be needing them for the next stages.

Out of the Michelin crews everyone has 2, except Lappi with 3 and Kopecky with 0.

For Pirelli we don't know.

[Sulland]

But rally from the beginning was without special stages, so we back to the roots. Just crawling through roads and hoping that car get on-time into TC ...

True, but still with average speed, as a regularity rally, as Monte Carlo Historique
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bWcXBL_K4OA&t=161s

[EstWRC]

Wonder why Tanak was off the pace, whether it was different tyre option or something else etc

dunno but when the redflag was announced then Martin said to Ott: "okay but ill keep reading the notes and we need to hurry and win time to see whats the issue"

[the sniper]

I'm surprised more effort wasn't made to slow Veiby down approaching the scene...

I have no real issue with stopping the stage under the circumstances. Given how frequent stage stoppages can be now with the (semi) all seeing eye of All Live, the small number of stages on modern WRC itineraries, combined with the already short length of rallies, are a disaster. A few cancelled stages and you barely have a rally! It embarrassing and the WRC bubble need to wake up...

[meh]

tyres. They put tyres stuck on every guard-rail ending

This was probably life-saver move. Imagine this rail ending enter into car from front window... Also Kubica's injury comes to my mind with that. Went well.

[KKS]

They do that after an accident in which Breen's co-driver Gareth Roberts died (Targa Florio 2012).

no. I'm joking after so much 'circuit decisions' on a rally event

[dimviii]

I'd say it's reasonably worse with rally cars than with stock cars because there is no airconditioning which greatly reduces air humidity.

there is no need for air condition with front heated screen.For example see rear windscreen,defrost at one minute.


@denkimi there is no way wrc cars to have heated windscreen and drive into stage with misted windscreens.

[T16]

no. I'm joking after so much 'circuit decisions' on a rally event

I Shouldn’t have been so gullible!

[Mirek]

there is no need for air condition with front heated screen.For example see rear windscreen,defrost at one minute.

I don't know how it's in rallycars but in stock cars rear heated screen has much thicker wires, i.e. much higher heating power than the front one.

AC normally doesn't work under 5 degrees anyway though as the condensation water can freeze, maybe they just didn't think they would need it on the Toyota's this weekend?
It was working on the i20 and Fiesta

[Sulland]

Lets hope we keep the rest of the RC1 cars in the rally to the end!
7 left now.

[dimviii]

I don't know how it's in rallycars but in stock cars rear heated screen has much thicker wires, i.e. much higher heating power than the front one.

front heated screen i ve seen are very thin,you have to stick your face to 10cm to glass to be visual,but they are at all the glass and very close something 4-5mm to the next wire.

Woooow Katsuta sliiide

[dimviii]

poor Katsu...

[denkimi]

@denkimi there is no way wrc cars to have heated windscreen and drive into stage with misted windscreens.
Well there's also no way they they don't have them. So if they don't work then something must be wrong.

[Mirek]

Biiiig spin for Katsuta

[Sulland]

poor Katsu...
Almost down to 6 there!

[djip]

Lets hope we keep the rest of the RC1 cars in the rally to the end!
7 left now.

with reverse order rules you get first cars on the road with driver "a little bit out their league" in such tricky conditions. Recipie for disaster and stages cancelations. This rally is turning into a farce, world champions will be decided tomorrow on gymkhana between hayballs. Ad i am sure the promoter (and Adamao...) love it. Welcome to the new world - this ain't going to be mine anymore ...

[SubaruNorway]

I don't know how it's in rallycars but in stock cars rear heated screen has much thicker wires, i.e. much higher heating power than the front one.

That's actually not true, the Ford road car like a Mondeo normally has 30A fuse for the rear and two 40A for each side at the front

[TypeR]

Katsuta - Rovanperä gap 3min, now Tänak started with 4min..

[KKS]

Did zero car on this stage go on they actual starttime? or delayed too?

[EstWRC]

Lappi can gain massively here with his 3 snowtyres

[TypeR]

I wonder, what the teams weather guys were doing.. so much snow and so all except Lappi with 4 fullwets..

[denkimi]

I wonder, what the teams weather guys were doing.. so much snow and so all except Lappi with 4 fullwets..
We will have to wait and see. It would be weird if everyone is wrong.

[PLuto]

In fact, stage was not delayed. Only first car (Greensmith) is missing...

[the sniper]

Surely these two stages will decide the rally.

EDIT: Maybe not!

[mknight]

I wonder, what the teams weather guys were doing.. so much snow and so all except Lappi with 4 fullwets..

1-2 degrees warmer and no snow would stay on the road.

[Mirek]

Avg. speed down from 93 to 77 in the second run!

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Scary this - who is the bravest ?!

[Mirek]

Greensmith from outside: https://twitter.com/inforallyes/status/1335220719907713027

Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Essaj]

Noo evans!!

[EstWRC]

congrats Ogier

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Noooo Elfyn !!

[T16]

fucking gutted

[Lead]

Another red flag incomig... ? :D

Too sad for Evans.

[Sulland]

Fuck, Evans off. Shitt!

[seb_sh]

championship gone

[er88]

Title over. Fucking hell. Gutting

[BigWorm]

Title over. Fucking hell. Gutting

Ogier still has to finish... At this rate im taking nothing for granted

[Sulland]

Only thing to hope for is an Ogier off!

[Päss1928]

Pressure on Ogier now haha. He can manage ofc, grats to him.

[dimviii]

Ogier still has to finish... At this rate im taking nothing for granted

Tanak champion? lol

[T16]

Ogier is giong to look like a proper prick if he wins the championship he doesn't value.

[meh]

Now, if something happens with Ogier, thins may get interesting...

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Evans was the fastest at that point.

[BigWorm]

Tanak champion? lol

You know, it's not impossible

[EstWRC]

Evans saved Ogier there

even with warning he almost went off in the same place

[denkimi]

Evans was the fastest at that point.
Stupid from him. All he had to do was cruise to the finish.

[seb_sh]

incredibly slippery

[meh]

Toyota vs Hyundai is getting also very interesting now...

[Mirek]

And Kopecký didn't take any snow tyres, 2011 deja vu...

[Ucci]

fucking gutted

Feel sorry for Evans, but on the other hand- huge satisfaction for Ogier, as I'm his fan. But, the rally is not over yet.....

[T16]

Evans saved Ogier there

even with warning he almost went off in the same place

100% agree. Ogier was off there, if they hadn't slowed him.

[Milujeme Rally]

Evans 2010

[Fast Eddie WRC]

WTF Lappi slowest !

[Ucci]

Stupid from him. All he had to do was cruise to the finish.

Indeed....still not mature enough to become champion....especially in this difficult conditions....

[dimviii]

is it possible to Toyota now to become champion?

[T16]

Indeed....still not mature enough to become champion....especially in this difficult conditions....

Come on - that's not entirely fair. Huge difference between the conditions today as opposed to when Neuville made his mistake yesterday.

[EstWRC]

Lappi didnt put the snowtyres on


wtf man?

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Lappi thought no snow !

[the sniper]

Boy oh boy, Lappi had snow tyres but didn't use them?

[masa90]

Well shit. So sad to see Evans off. The championship is pretty much gone.

Also Lappi got such bad info about the conditions. Is it down to his own crew or m-sport? Wtf no snowtires?

[denkimi]

Come on - that's not entirely fair. Huge difference between the conditions today as opposed to when Neuville made his mistake yesterday.
Neuville had to push. It was all or nothing for him.
Evans just had to make it to the finish before the r5 cars.

Still both stupid mistakes, they are handing the title to ogier.

[EstWRC]

Tanak champion? lol

he is second now, if Ogier also reitres for today

then its on for him

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Ogier's got this.

[Francis44]

Crazy rollercoaster now.

[meh]

Tänak's "disaster stlow" does not feel that slow anymore...

[Mirek]

So Lappi drove on 3 wet + 1 snow...

[jonkka]

is it possible to Toyota now to become champion?

Yes if either Sordo or Tanak falters but a little. Difference is just five points.

[Ucci]

Come on - that's not entirely fair. Huge difference between the conditions today as opposed to when Neuville made his mistake yesterday.

it is precisely in such difficult & unpredictable situation driver must prove his skills.....

[Mirek]

it is precisely in such difficult & unpredictable situation driver must prove his skills.....

Ogier himself said he would go off in the same place if he was not warned.

[AL14]

Only thing to hope for is an Ogier off!

good luck with that

[er88]

What the fuck are Msport playing at if they've not given Lappi any info?! That's so strange if that's the case. Lappi fuming

[EstWRC]

Ogier himself said he would go off in the same place if he was not warned.

exactly, also i think others after him.

even with nail pace that place was so dangerous

[Mirek]

Close call for Tidemand too

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Ogier wanted Evans as a team-mate to support him...

[drive]

next stage will have even more snow, much more

[AL14]

could evans still win with ps points even if ogier stays in the road?

[KKS]

Even if Ogier crashed on next SS Evans got 10min penalty more. So it's Ogiers title except he crashed on Sunday

[Essaj]

Fk Fourmaux now ;:(

[seb_sh]

Formaux spun just meters after Evans, it's very slippery

[SubaruNorway]

So now Evans needs to get 5 points on the powerstage and Ogier to come something like third and no more than 1 PS point for them to be equal on points but two wins for Evans if I'm not wrong

[seb_sh]

This is one of the best Monte's in recent years and it's not even Monte :D

[EstWRC]

what the hell Formaux didnt even hit anything?

[jonkka]

could evans still win with ps points even if ogier stays in the road?

If Ogier wins, he's 11 points ahead so no. But if Ogier loses several places, then maybe.

[denkimi]

So lappi could have won the rally but m-sport didn't bother to tell him it was snowing.

[Ucci]

Ogier himself said he would go off in the same place if he was not warned.

Consolation...

[Essaj]

what the hell Formaux didnt even hit anything?

Yeah he did, the wall on the right hand side

[dimviii]

Ogier : 97 + 25 = 122

Evans : 111 + 0 = 111

Tänak : 83 + 15 = 98

Neuville : 87 + 0 = 87



Hyundai : 208 + 18 + 15 = 241

Toyota : 201+ 25 + 10 = 236

This is one of the best Monte's in recent years and it's not even Monte :D

Like Marcus Grönholm said... "this is Monza Carlo".

[Mirek]

Ostberg driving in walking speed now.

[Tauri_J]

what the hell Formaux didnt even hit anything?

Earlier maybe and that caused a spin

[er88]

So lappi could have won the rally but m-sport didn't bother to tell him it was snowing.I'm baffled by this. Amateur hour at Msport if so

[Essaj]

Could we see R5 on the podium? :crazy:

[meh]

Toyota need to help Lappi now with weather information I guess :)

[m-ast]

Could we see R5 on the podium? :crazy:

That will be epic:)

Otherwise would have been great to continue seen WRC3 cars live...

Ogier said before the rally that snow could bring him the title...

[the sniper]

Surely Lappi is still really well placed for tyres on this last stage, where there's seemingly even more snow?

[Sulland]

And then they cut the transmission, I am amazed!

[SubaruNorway]

In the dark for the later starters and snow on the next won't be any easier!

[dimviii]

why?

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Ogier
"I'm very sorry for Elfyn Evans. It was incredible! In the corner he went off, there's nothing you can do, it's like driving on ice. With what we still have ahead, the championship is not over. I have to make it through and it's a very big challenge"

[Mirek]

And then they cut the transmission, I am amazed!

Next stage is on in 4 minutes.

[seb_sh]

ironically the wrc promotional intro is about british wrc champions...

I doubt multiple Monte winner Ogier will screw this one up...

[Essaj]

How many times will we see the "next british champion" segment today? :( :blackeye:

[EstWRC]

Lappi should gain massively now on SS12.

although i said the same for SS11

f u fia/wrc.. Tänak lost couple of seconds there, no change in time.. others got better time just for nothing..

[mknight]

Looks like Solberg is on 4 snow tbh.
Mikkelsen definitely at least 2 snow.
Østberg looked like 4 wets but he has 2 snow in boot.

[KKS]

16 sec overall now in RC2. Push that Oliver!!!

[focus206]

It's not over yet, Ogier has to bring it home. And Sordo and Tanak aren't that far away, considering the conditions.

[Sulland]

Solberg fastest Rally2 on ss11. Knowing Petter, he have 20 people on each stage reporting back on road condition, km per km. Doing the old analogue way!

[mknight]

Also Evans can likely do powerstage tomorrow.

Gonna be awesome.

[masa90]

Well, when Ogier wins this one I have to congratulate him. He just seems to always hangs there and when one of his rivals make a mistake -> always there to pick up the prizes.

Not sure really why, but I am so sad about Evans. This might be the only chance he will get for the title, just needed to cruise trough and the title would been his. Now it is over for him.

[MartijnS]

Seriously the commentating about the sportsmanship of Evans....
If he didn’t warn Ogier, and he went off Tanak would have been champion haha. Don’t think that was the plan.

[er88]

16 sec overall now in RC2. Push that Oliver!!!Brilliant from him. Mikkelsen looked to have this wrapped up, but now....

[T16]

Anyone notice the fluid leaking into Katsuta's Toyota? (From the light oil the rear roof area)

[Essaj]

I'm getting feeling that they piss their pants and cancel the stage

[T16]

WRC plus camera just showed the conditions in this stage. This may be far from over.

[Francis44]

Anyone notice the fluid leaking into Katsuta's Toyota? (From the light oil the rear roof area)

Its water from the roof vents.

[polomayu]

I'm getting feeling that they piss their pants and cancel the stage


Me too. Hope not!

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Evans would warn whoever came along next.

[Sulland]

Are the organizers giving them more winter tyres now, due to safety?
looked pretty winterly on the webcam they showed now.
