[WRC] Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2021

[Tauri_J]

Wtf happened

[EstWRC]

Wtf happened

too fast in the corner and rolled

[MartijnS]

Evans suffered a lot in the dust.

[mknight]

That's actually quite stupid tbh. Neuville is not going to make it to service and made it really dangerous for Evans.

Also there will totally be a push for Evans to get corrected time. But if he gets it Suninen should also get a time correction, else it's double standards.

[the sniper]

Surely Neuville won't be able to get that back.

[EstWRC]

damn Ott give the interview, for gods sake

[krissucool]

No interview with Ott? Clearly something wrong with him as well when looking at times.

[EstWRC]

lmao Ogier took a huge jackpot from here

gained 3 places?

[krissucool]

Haha everyone just conceding it to Ogier :D

[EstWRC]

Ogier from 7th to podium with one stage

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Spin for Fourmaux & puncture.

agreed...Evans will surely get time back, i think he will be given Ogiers time but it was indeed dangerous

[SubaruNorway]

agreed...Evans will surely get time back, i think he will be given Ogiers time but it was indeed dangerous

Wasn't Neuville really angry he didn't get time back in Portugal one year?

[jonkka]

Ogier seems to set the stage winning time here?

it seemed to me he really want for the attack here

[meh]

oj oj, Sordo is slow as well. Tänak to the lead? If Evans will not get so good time to get the lead himself.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Sordo stall again.

[EstWRC]

Tänak basically in the lead now

[TypeR]

would pay some $$ to get a live stream from Hyundai office and Adamo..

[Tauri_J]

Fml I had to take an hour long drive during the most interesting stage :D

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Another 2nd fastest for Greensmith is a nice bonus for him.

2017 behind Meeke:

He did get time back but was still complaining it wasn't enough.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Ogier stage win. Incredible.

[krissucool]

Ogier WDC confirmed? :D

Haha, no fair play to him. Manages to keep himself out of trouble where others wont.

[the sniper]

I wish more rallies would have an additional proper stage or two run once in the afternoon, outside of the main double run loop stages, as they throw in a bit of a curveball and make more of a day of it. Much better than having a long road section, 3 stages twice and return to base...

[mknight]

Note that the excessive tire wear is a Hyundai issue that happened multiple times before at least since Sardinia and Turkey 2019.

Different(unknown) tires probably don't help.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Fourmaux :(
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E17CINFXIAQwrs1?format=jpg&name=medium

[meh]

7 stages done and Katsuta 12sec from the lead.

[doubled1978]

When I saw the onboard with Ogier, it looked like the surface had a good top to it, probably from the recce with cars going over it when it was damp. That looks like it deteriorated as cars went over it.

[EstWRC]

so Ogier 4th at the moment but i think he will be 5th at the end of the day

it would be crime in my eyes if Evans doesnt get the time back

[meh]

I think it's fair when Evans get equal time with Ogier.

[mknight]

I think it's fair when Evans get equal time with Ogier.

I really hope they also correct Suninens time and we get top 3 in WRC2 in 2 seconds.

[EstWRC]

if my calculations are right and if Evans gets Ogier time

he would be second in overall and just 2.7 secs from Ott and TOP3 would be separated by just 3.4 secs for tomorrow

[mknight]

They probably won't do any time correction before looking at whole onboards.

yep, it has been corrected also on wrc plus

so like i said, TOP3 covered by 3 seconds....which can change of course after street stage

And Katsuta lies 4th just 9 seconds behind them while Ogier a further 10 seconds (ish) back, an interesting day lies in prospect for tomorrow.

yeah tomorrow is a monster day with long stages, IMO it was very interesting day but i have to admit the interest here has been very low today for some reason. comments wise at least

[masa90]

God dammit Thierry.

He makes lot of costly mistakes honestly. Shame to say, I wish he would get that one title but on such a short season things like these are horrible.

[EstWRC]

Thierry still not moving

[flykas]

Yeah not just today. I usually just read, bet maybe I should be more active because its really nice forum, but looks like it has gotten more silent in after that weird short covid influenced season .

[masa90]

So lots of penalties for being late? Or exclusion? Getting to lower points would be crucial!

"what is this crap?"

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E17EEDbVkAYfj2i?format=jpg&name=large

[mknight]

From the Adamo interview after the stage it sounded like they had issues with other tires and he blamed Pirelli. (very indirectly though)

But as I said they had issues with excessive tirewear also with Michelin as far back as mid 2019.

Could be something else with the tires, Rovanpera also mentioned some issues before stage.

[Eli]

"what is this crap?"

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E17EEDbVkAYfj2i?format=jpg&name=large

Exactly what I was thinking when they showed this on WRC+. They're probably missing those Michelins.

[Rallyper]

Oliver did a huge amount of seconds to the others on SS7...

Is that one real?

AnttiL?
Honestly asking, after sauna.

[mknight]

That's either bug or a corrected time (for what?) at splits he was slowly loosing time whole stage and was on 6th place in stage when he came to finish.

Yeah. Must be.
On Twitter he said he was happy anyway (losing 20 secs on SS7, engine cutting). Tactically he doing the right thing anyway.

you mean Ingram?

(sorry, I just needed to ask it ;) )

[Doon]

I've got no idea why people give Gus Greensmith so much crap.....actually i do, jealousy. He's setting some fast times at the highest level of Rallying. Yes we can all say well, "daddy paid for it", but the reality is that you need money for motorsport. I hope all the bitter people get over it soon, because he does have a future in the WRC.....far better than the much loved guys or the mid-2000s like Henning Solberg.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

you mean Ingram?

(sorry, I just needed to ask it ;) )

And another ex-ERC Champion, Kajto.

Last two rallies Greensmith has been good. All those rallies before...not really.

Sure some people react when he drives as "main" MSport driver while (multiple) rally winners like Meeke, Latvala or Paddon end without a drive.

He is nowhere near Henning Solberg (yet?) though. Henning Solberg has 6 WRC podiums and 33 stage wins! Greensmith has 0 of both.

[Sulland]

Said after day 1:
Greensmith Gus - Patterson Chris (https://www.ewrc-results.com/entryinfo/68111-vodafone-rally-de-portugal-2021/3005273/)

"I think as soon as Chris [Patterson] came into the car, he showed me the areas I needed to change. We have worked really hard and the progression has been a lot quicker than I expected it to be. I've enjoyed, but it's a shame about the puncture."

Sometimes I think it is strange that a works team let young drivers keep their "Highschool sweetheart" co-driver.
When Petter came to MSport his norwegian co-driver was kicked out and an experienced father figure came in. It is so much else than reading notes at the rallies. Amongst other the drivers need to hear where they are lacking skills, and get a push. That is easier to tacle from someone you know have more experience, and you respect than a friend your own age!

[EstWRC]

phewwww, what a day. only a one stage caused a lot of action but still.

Sordo even had a puncture on liason coming to Lousada stage, how unlucky you can be.

Nice ending of the day for Tänak, despite some problems and wrong setup still has the lead.

Ogier again showing his amazing skills when to push and when not.

Really surprised with Taka and Greensmith, really good showing today from them.

sorry for his fans if i offend them but Loubet has to go back to WRC2 IMO.

Amazing fights also in WRC2 class and also very close gaps.


Bring on tomorrow mega day.

Agree, question is if they need to switch them permanently or if a few rallies are enough.

[mknight]

.

In his defence he imo starts to suffer with his 1+ year old spec of a car that is notoriously difficult to set up, which even is a hybrid spec that was never ran by the main team.

[drive]

https://youtu.be/YYQL5hI217Q Neuville off

[TypeR]

Neuville said that he didn't have softs on one and hards on the other side, but softs on the rear (hards in front).. so a mistake by allLive maybe.

[EstWRC]

well, maybe....im not against him competing in the main class....im just worried about him crashing a lot which could end badly on one day

Yes, ofc Loubet's problem is a bit older spec car.. it makes him not stay on the road and do mistakes..

Gus and Fourmaux are driving 2017 chassis cars, 24 and 35 rallies under the belt vs Loubet' late 2018 chassis(with 15 rallies).

Selective reading.

I wrote one his problems might be that he is running a hybrid that was never run by the main team ( so needs different setup).

Picking spec by reading chassis numbers doesn't work. MSport cars have a new engine spec homologated just a rally ago, new front aero from 5 months ago, etc...

[Eli]

yeah tomorrow is a monster day with long stages, IMO it was very interesting day but i have to admit the interest here has been very low today for some reason. comments wise at least

Perhaps because nothing major happened until the penultimate stage? Other than that it was a Hyundai 1-2-3 until Neuville mucked it up (as always). Anyhow, like you said, tomorrow should be (more) interesting.

Well, Loubet has 0 points.

You don´t need latest spec WRC to beat Rally2 car drivers.

For me Loubet has been biggest loser this year.

Ingram got time back for dust. (https://storage.googleapis.com/download/storage/v1/b/sportity-storage/o/c840273e-e820-482a-ba04-825fc91a66ba%2F193d4639-8996-46ab-b4df-6bb3cb94002d_COC%20Decision%203.pdf?generation=162 1629991075935&alt=media)


Suninen did not (yet?), I checked his onboard and it's a bit hard to prove though. There surely are multiple moments with dust where he has to slow down, but they are spread over long period with clear view in between. Hoping he does get some time back in the end.


Solberg still has that wrong time on SS7. That one I do find ridiculous, cause as the times are listed now he is 48s behind Ogier on last split and 21s at the end. So this means he would have to be some 4+ s/km faster than the fastest WRC car over that section. That's simply impossible.

[EstWRC]

count how many times the guys say the word tires https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8MzUFBQbHw

A disappointing day. On the pace this morning, but after the puncture in SS3 I didn't feel comfortable. It turns out that we had some damage to the car. Broken rollbar, bendt arms, wheels pointing in every direction++ The win is gone, but we can still get some good points #WRC2

[KiwiWRCfan]

God dammit Thierry.

He makes lot of costly mistakes honestly. Shame to say, I wish he would get that one title but on such a short season things like these are horrible.

We are looking at a 12 round season. As Covid vaccination continues around the world we should be feeling increasingly confident that 12 rounds will occur. 2021 is not likaly to be a short season

[Myrvold]

Do anyone actually know what happened with Loubet? I cannot find anything about him at all. Just that they are ok, and and can't continue. No pictures, no other info. He wasn't mentioned on the highlights, and for some reason he didn't have an onboard for this event.

I know I am pretty alone being somewhat of a fan of Loubet, but wtf?

What troubles Fourmaux...?

Edit: throttleproblems. Full throttle, so road mode.

[mknight]

Ok. Likely someone who was correcting Evans time made a mistake and corrected Solberg too (numbers 33 and 30) in the first place.

Ogier slower than Gus in second split

road gettin slower and polished?

Well done, GG

Lappi destroying everyone at this stage.

4.6s/20km while he got "destroyed" by Suninen by for example 3.1/12km yesterday?

[EstWRC]

what a split by Sordo in spl1, 4 secs quicker than anybody else

[krissucool]

Ooh these idiots in WRC+. You spend years in the booth looking at splits and you still dont know how to look at splits.

Looking at 1 split comparisson to Katsuta and Ogier...wow, something is wrong with Ogier. Looking at the next split compared to Greenshmith - oh, that previous was a rogue split.

How difficult can it be? Its your job. This happens up to 10 times per rally.

[dimviii]

Tabak again much faster

[mknight]

Katsuta fighting with Ogier and Greensmith with Rovanpera

Totally expected

[dimviii]

unbelievable that Ogier doesnt moaning.

[EstWRC]

Ott gave some time back with quite short distance

[dimviii]

Tanak slower between split 1-2 from Evans Sordo Katsu.

[mknight]

Seems like Tanak was much faster in the more wet sections and slower in the dry ones.

[Rallyper]

unbelievable that Ogier doesnt moaning.

He didn´t even open the door... ;)

[dimviii]

after ss 10
Ogier ............. 71 pts

Evans ............ 69 pts

Tanak ............ 65 pts

Neuville ......... 53 pts

Rovanpera .... 47 pts

[dimviii]

He didn´t even open the door... ;)

lets see what he can do on the long one the old fox.

First good time from Solberg on this rally.

[Rallyper]

Oliver: "took it easy avoiding punctures... and the rear was sliding..."

[AnttiL]

Interesting to see “Richard Burns Rally Pro” sticker on Grayzin’s car.

He's mentioned earlier using RBR for practicing

[AnttiL]

How many softs they have for the weekend? Everyone saying they need to save some for softer surface on Sunday.

eight I think. Most of them used four already on Friday, but remember that you can also reuse tyres you already used once.

[mknight]

Hard to reuse tires that have no thread left.

[KKS]

No Neuville on SS11?

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Scare for Greensmith at the start of the longest stage wont help his confidence.

[SubaruNorway]

No Neuville on SS11?

Going in now it seems like

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Tyre tactics possibly.

[EstWRC]

Ogier attack

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Yep, longest stage gives the chance for the biggest difference.

[Sulland]

Who in a RC2 car will top 3 fastest in Monster ss11?

[Rallyper]

No splits on website...

Edit: now found ´em...

[mknight]

Suninen just got his 10s from SS3 back. So he is now some 4,5 behind Lappi.

[EstWRC]

nobody using the hards they took with them

The surface seems to look pretty gentle for the tyres at the moment. Still hard and damp.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Ogier is good on tarmac sections with gravel set-up.

it's at least year old issue - splits start coming when first car have stage end time. Times are actually there, but website is failing to display them.

[krissucool]

Ogier attack

Would not qualify driving quite similar pace with Katsuta as an attack.

[jonkka]

it's at least year old issue - splits start coming when first car have stage end time. Times are actually there, but website is failing to display them.

I suspect that the delay is intentional to incentivize people to pay for WRC+.

Yeah, I´ve heard that and found it is. But not always I reccon...

[meh]

I suspect that the delay is intentional to incentivize people to pay for WRC+.

Have not rechecked it now, but previously there was JavaScript error because there are not some elements in dataset which you have when you have same "full collection of times". I doubt it's intention to have error in program code for that.

[krissucool]

Rovanperä the slowest WRC

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Until Neuville.

[krissucool]

Until Neuville.

Well yeah, the slowest WRC that is trying to be quick.

[wwbroe]

Lappi again really fast on splits

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Good run by Evans. Very solid pace again today.

[EstWRC]

37km and such a short gaps

[wwbroe]

Lappi funny interview at stop finish line:)

[mknight]

Suninen got back those 10s and then immediatelly lost them on the stage.

[EstWRC]

Neuville doesnt continue

End of the road for Egon and Silver in SS10. We got a puncture for some reason mid-corner and the car just went straight, ending in rolls..

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Neuville doesnt continue

With Sardinia in mind...

[satukata]

Any tyre info for the afternoon loop?

[pantealex]

Neuville doesnt continue

Not even tomorrow ?

[mknight]

Not even tomorrow ?

That's pretty unclear to me from that article.

#WRC UPDATE car #11: The team decided to retire @thierryneuville
and @MWydaeghe's car from day 2 at @rallydeportugal after SS11 to assess it further and fix it ahead of the last day of the rally. The team will have 3h to prepare the car for the final day. #HMSGOfficial

[EstWRC]

the only question is in which state the softs are for everyone, only Ogier and Neuville had new ones before this loop

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Evans coming quick to protect from Sordo.

[mknight]

From splits it looks like Lappi has some softs and Suninen hards.

[Rallyper]

What has happened to All Live? All Black...

[Essaj]

Big problems for Gus, shame :(

[meh]

Ogier 3.7 slower than Rovanperä in 1st split.

[EstWRC]

what a shame

Gus has had a fantastic rally so far

[Fast Eddie WRC]

No coverage on BT Sport - what's happening ?

[Rallyper]

Do you have all Live working? My isn´t. Just black. :( :(

[meh]

Do you have all Live working? My isn´t. Just black. :( :(

For me it's working well. Obviously I don't want to reload the page now...

[tc10a]

Do you have all Live working? My isn´t. Just black. :( :(

Working well, tried also on another system.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Greensmith Gus - Patterson Chris: throttle pedal issue

[Rallyper]

This is just so confusing. Nothing happens. Worked perfectly until this stage. Don´t understand. Doesn´t work neither on IPad or PC...

[EstWRC]

interesting, Kalle in his own class at the moment

even Sordo losing already 3 sevs in spl2

[Rallyper]

Maps and timing working but not All Live from stage.

[meh]

Just a note - Rovanperä had 4 hards for this stage.

[the sniper]

Literally just signed back up for this stage as it isn't on BT Sport... what a welcome back! Luckily I only used my 3 month free promo code given for being a 12 month subscriber last year! I'd be livid if I'd paid.

[Rallyper]

Still black. Nothing helps... :(

[wwbroe]

Tanak going to take another stage win

[WRC1]

...here the same, tried everything ....f..k them... :( :( :(

[Rallyper]

Error #100 :( :(

They answered my email. They have recognized a problem they try to solve. It wasn´t me then... Puhh.

Anyway. Why it happened? Right here right now??

[EstWRC]

everything working fine for me

[USER47]

Yeah, same here, everything worked fine in the morning loop, now it's just black.

[meh]

Error #100 :( :(

Try this one, nothing to lose (if to not take account time used):
https://security.elarlang.eu/detect-wrc-alllive-video-stream-address.html

... and I didn't All Live page working from TV, didn't get login screen to show up.

[wwbroe]

Lappi again little bit faster than Suninen

[USER47]

It's fixed for me now.

[Rallyper]

Yep. Working here as well.

[meh]

Good, enjoy! I know how desperate it is and how long those minutes are :)

All (a dozen or so? :D ) the UK and Irish fans abandoning BT Sport, re-joining WRC+ managed to tip it over?!

Looks like we're all back onboard now anyway.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

I dont think its a coincidence that BT Sport coverage stopped at the same time as WRC+ had a problem...

[Fast Eddie WRC]

WTF Kalle still on the road ?

[meh]

I think they give longer time after Gus, because he is caring problem

edit: for Rovanperä there seems to be some bigger issue. Seems to drive away from stage start

edit 2: Rovanperä stopped for today because of "technical issue"

[the sniper]

Rovanpera seemingly not starting the stage.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

I think they give longer time after Gus, because he is caring problem

Not that much time - he didnt have his overalls/helmet on !

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E2AQxUSWEAQW5q6?format=jpg&name=small

[EstWRC]

no, something wrong, i see from the maps he is driving away from the stage

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Technical issue for Kalle say Toyota.

[meh]

I hope slower split for Tänak does not mean puncture...

edit: seems to carry some problem, phk. rear-right wheel is kind of falling off.

[Essaj]

Tänak in problems now

[EstWRC]

Tänak with puncture it seems

fak it

[SubaruNorway]

You saw it smoking and crabbing on the tarmac, more than a tyre

[the sniper]

Rear right's loose, amazing how hard he's still pushing, car is all over the place!

[EstWRC]

good old TÄnak luck,

Ogier will be champ this year, no doubt

[meh]

And Ogier is on podium.

[TypeR]

copy-paste to neu. fk

[EstWRC]

how copy paste?

didnt see him crashing

[rp]

Ogier will be champ this year, no doubt

Of course he will be.

[cosmin_sb]

Did Tanak finish the stage or retired?

[EstWRC]

Of course he will be.

if Ott had won this one, then i wouldnt have been so sure

but now the gap is huge

[meh]

Did Tanak finish the stage or retired?

Retired on stage.

[TypeR]

how copy paste?

didnt see him crashing

damage

[meh]

Copy-paste or not, results is the same - fckd up.

[EstWRC]

im eagerly waiting for his comments

if he clipped something or not

[cosmin_sb]

in this moment (after this SS) Ogier and Evans are the same points 76 in the general standing

[Essaj]

Oliver really has to calm down when he hits issues.

[the sniper]

Slow half spin for Solberg, stalled the car and couldn't get reverse! Mads to third.

Eventful stage! Long live long stages!

Makes for a good show! :D

Neuville and Tänak should be very happy that they got new contracts signed..

[EstWRC]

lol...quote of the day

[mknight]

Suninen lost any chance to challenge Lappi with that issue (spin? - we didn't get to hear it). Solberg lost 3rd and we now have a 3-way fight for it with Østberg and Gryazin.

[NoFear85]

if Ott had won this one, then i wouldnt have been so sure

but now the gap is huge

If Ogier won in Finland... if, if, if,... sorry there is no if

[Eli]

Neuville and Tänak should be very happy that they got new contracts signed..

Exactly what I was thinking, Adamo's gonna have a hard think about his 3rd driver for next year.
