[WRC] Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo 2025

[EstWRC]

Very large gaps with the first day. Munster actually with pretty decent times considering his standard. Seems Kalle found a little bit of the rhythm on the final stage

[Kras]

Munster grew some balls

[Rallyper]

We must understand distance between normally fast drivers and not so fast drivers is not big at these slow conditions.
But Munster, I think, is doing well on SS2 and SS3.

[meh]

So will we have now some statements about how bad is Pajari because Rally2 cars are faster? (at list till split 4)

[deephouse]

So will we have now some statements about how bad is Pajari because Rally2 cars are faster? (at list till split 4)

Maybe it will finaly that running order come to play, since last year half the field always did have advantage.

[Kras]

Mcrslow lags a minute per stage

[Rallyper]

So will we have now some statements about how bad is Pajari because Rally2 cars are faster? (at list till split 4)

Let´s wait until Sunday old chap....

[Morte66]

McErlean and Pajari had exactly one thing they needed to do: stay on the road. Successful day 1 for both. They've done what the teams wanted, and quite likely ordered.

[denkimi]

So will we have now some statements about how bad is Pajari because Rally2 cars are faster? (at list till split 4)
Yes.

It's not like it suddenly started snowing. He should have been faster than the rc2 cars behind him.

[Morte66]

Well, now that I've officially been a Gryazin fan for 2 or 3 hours, I think it's working out pretty well.

[tbazsi95]

Big moment for Ogier:

[Kras]

Sleep tight boys. See you tomorrow :kiss:

[rallyfiend]

Pretty good first night for Hankook on the first, most difficult rally.

[doubled1978]

Very large gaps with the first day. Munster actually with pretty decent times considering his standard. Seems Kalle found a little bit of the rhythm on the final stage

Yeah, he was a bit too slow in stage 1, but in 2 & 3 I think he was pretty good considering his road position. To be honest, Neuville and Evans have used their road position well, Ogier was pushing his luck and paid the price, he was lucky to stay on the road. Everyone else has been pretty underwhelming overall.

[deephouse]

Well, now that I've officially been a Gryazin fan for 2 or 3 hours, I think it's working out pretty well.

Two years ago he almost won Monte, then I think Rossel did complain about him cutting some corner and he got penalty. Then they were team-mates and pretty much beat him until the end and then Rossel again won over him. So he was pretty good here before.

[dimviii]

Ogier crash inside

https://hankook-recce.com/

Good morning everyone! Is the tyre info still from yesterday or is it today already?

[EstWRC]

It’s from yesterday. They updated it after the first stage was finished. I guess the same today

[Rallyest]

It’s from yesterday. They updated it after the first stage was finished. I guess the same today

ah yes, now i see it also, Leg1 is written there. Got confused for a sec.

[EstWRC]

Ss5 https://x.com/officialwrc/status/1882691353118904364?s=46&t=AWria8OgC1kV5QC61vX5Xg

[CeskyOndra]

Good morning guys, wakey wakey!! Looks like we are going to have some studded tires this morning! First 2 stages will be chaos!

[CeskyOndra]

And its confirmed - Most of the field taking 4-5 studded tires!

[denkimi]

tanak 5 studded and nothing else. That's a big gamble already. Looking at the hankook page, there is no snow or ice on ss4 or ss6.

[EstWRC]

tanak 5 studded and nothing else. That's a big gamble already. Looking at the hankook page, there is no snow or ice on ss4 or ss6.

Well Ogier is basically the same with just one super soft

[Rallyper]

Here we go!

[Rallyest]

Tänak again with his 5 tyre strategy

[Kras]

This is propper monte now

[Rallyper]

Slippery slope...

[Kras]

tanak 5 studded and nothing else. That's a big gamble already. Looking at the hankook page, there is no snow or ice on ss4 or ss6.

I'd say he chose correctly

[EstWRC]

Very slippery! Neuville skating around

[TypeR]

Tanak and his tyre gamble once again.. leaving no choice for any option + 1 spare..

Let's see..

[denkimi]

Well Ogier is basically the same with just one super soft

I assume they count ont having lost the spikes by the time they get to ss6.

[Eli]

Wow, 2(!) drivers on the same screen, only took them a decade…better late than never I guess, more of that please!

[CeskyOndra]

Tanak on a flier

[deephouse]

Wow, 2(!) drivers on the same screen, only took them a decade…better late than never I guess, more of that please!

True that. Last year half live video was when they drive slowly to the interview crew and always something happen during that time.

[EstWRC]

That’s the Tänak I wanted to see

[CeskyOndra]

Rovanpera flying totally..

[EstWRC]

Seems the first part of the stage is getting much faster for late starters.

Fourmaux is coming very well

[CeskyOndra]

Kalle won't be far behind the lead after this one..

[Kras]

Seems the first part of the stage is getting much faster for late starters.

Fourmaux is coming very well

Gravel pulled on the road by cuts can actually make it grippier in these conditions

[CeskyOndra]

Munster also fastest. Conditions are definitely getting better.

[PLuto]

Road is getting faster and this drivers had opportunity to watch onboards of first drivers so they can know what is current situation on the road...

[EstWRC]

On one side I love this but then from another not but this is the beauty of Monte.

Really difficult to tell who is really the fastest with the conditions changing all the time

[Kras]

Munsters and Kalles splits look off. I believe atleast some of them are wrong

[EstWRC]

Munsters and Kalles splits look off. I believe atleast some of them are wrong

I don’t believe it. The stage is just getting faster.

Even Josh has decent splits

[archie106]

Gryazin fastest at first split - stage is definitely getting much faster.

[deephouse]

Munster seems having drive of his life, and yet isn't shown any of him.

[Kras]

If Musnter wins a stage, then i've seen it all

[Rallyper]

Gryazin fastest at first split - stage is definitely getting much faster.

Hehe. Monte is Monte...

[denkimi]

We might see some rc3 win the stage if things continue like they do now.

[meh]

Stage development is quite something, if McErlean is faster than Neuville, Evans and Ogier in splits...

and Grazin fastest in split 1-2-3...

[Dontcut]

None of MSport cars have camera on board?

[Kras]

None of MSport cars have camera on board?

Budget cuts

[deephouse]

Budget cuts

I think that this cameras aren't part of team budget, but are provided by promoter and live crew.

[Kras]

I think that this cameras aren't part of team budget, but are provided by promoter and live crew.

It was a joke. Yea, it's embarassing for the production to nit have a feed from those cars for a second day now

[EstWRC]

Hankook says there is just 1.2km ice on next stage. Mostly damp and dirty, Tänak has no slicks and Ogier just one.

But then again SS6 seems very icy but how much studs they have left by then?

Anyway, very interesting. We will see

[CeskyOndra]

Now the question is.. What about conditions on SS5? I have seen some ice images but it is running very late (10.34) instead of 8:50 like as last year.. The temperatures are lot above 0

[Morte66]

It's all topsy-turvy. Gryazin beat Evans/Neuville on SS4. Evans leads the rally despite dropping almost 20s to Rovanpera in one stage.

After a couple of dry Montes, normal service is resumed.

[Rallyper]

Oliver among fastest, even compared to Kalle...

[meh]

Oliver among fastest, even compared to Kalle...

4th O/A at the stage end

[Kras]

4 stages in, still no major crashes. How long can this go on?

[dimviii]

[EstWRC]

Seems ss5 will be delayed. Spectator fallen and ambulance needed

[CeskyOndra]

Seems ss5 will be delayed. Spectator fallen and ambulance needed

A slip on the ice?

[EstWRC]

A slip on the ice?

Already two spectators now https://x.com/rallyesport/status/1882722490939805797?s=46&t=AWria8OgC1kV5QC61vX5Xg

[Kras]

Already two spectators now https://x.com/rallyesport/status/1882722490939805797?s=46&t=AWria8OgC1kV5QC61vX5Xg

Didn't have to call then the r-word :)

[PLuto]

SS 5 cancelled

[CeskyOndra]

yeah nice, only stage with ice patch

[spyros]

SS 5 cancelled

What a joke.

[EstWRC]

I would say Ogier and Tänak are lucky with this, there was just 1.2km of ice on that stage.

[dupanton]

What a joke.

Yes, they should let the injured spectator out there untill this evening...

[archie106]

2 out of 5 stages cancelled/stopped due to spectators.

Great start to the year

[Rallyper]

That´s a shame.

But we shall pass that too...

[TypeR]

Yesterday ss3 red flagged after Rossel, now SS5 cancelled.. amazing

[CeskyOndra]

In hankook info there might be a lot of ice on SS6 in the morning but now its already almost 10 degrees. So no chance I guess.

[Rallyest]

About SS4 :D 2605

[erikli2]

Apparently a land slide of rocks injured some spectators, hope they'll be alright

[TypeR]

So.. guys with 2(at least) slicks have basically two advantages for SS6.
Stud guys didn't get the chance on ice and studs are also not wore down for better grip on clean tarmac..

But it's Monte!

[EstWRC]

SS6 delayed 17 minutes

[Kras]

SS6 delayed 17 minutes

What for?

[csakly]

So the start of SS6 will be 11:59 Local Time

[EstWRC]

How the hell I know.

I suspect Tänak and Ogier will loose a lot with this stage. It must have definitely melted by then. Ogier at least has one super soft

[Rallyest]

How the hell I know.

I suspect Tänak and Ogier will loose a lot with this stage. It must have definitely melted by then. Ogier at least has one super soft

SS6 at the moment so...2606

[deephouse]

If we didn't have this forum, we wouldn't have any clue what's going on. So thanks for information, guys (which by the way should be provided by live data).

[EstWRC]

SS6 at the moment so...2606

Doesn’t look that bad but it’s just one part

[PLuto]

What for?

Because of delayed (and later cancelled) SS 5.

[dupanton]

What for?

Probably because the crews were delayed by the time they decided to cancel the stage. So they probably left SS5 17min later than the theoretical start time, that is probably the delay.

[dupanton]

Check the stage times of Elliot Delecour, certainly yesterday doing stagetimes in the top 30 and only beaten by 1 or 2 rally3 cars.

[EstWRC]

What the hell Kiri still working for WRC?

[TypeR]

Neuville broken left rear wheel

[jonkka]

Neuville went off and is trailing left rear wheel, almost off

[archie106]

Not good for Neuville, going to struggle to get back to service!

[CeskyOndra]

Neuville end.

[CeskyOndra]

The car just didnt stop on the studded tires..

[Tauri_J]

There you go, first casualty

[EstWRC]

He won’t make it to service with this.

Rule is there has to be 4 rotating wheels

[jonkka]

Not good for Neuville, going to struggle to get back to service!

They can't run road section without freely rotating wheel and it doesn't look like suspension is intact.

[TypeR]

What about ,,team-play''..?

[jonkka]

What about ,,team-play''..?

I doubt that either Tanak or Fourmaux carry any more spares that Neuville doesn't have himself.

[Rallyper]

He won’t make it to service with this.

Rule is there has to be 4 rotating wheels

If he has right spare parts he can get the wheel rotate.

[deephouse]

What about ,,team-play''..?

Crews from the same team can help physically working on the car, but swapping parts from car is not allowed, I think.

[deephouse]

Man, Tanak...

[CeskyOndra]

Wow lucky tanak

[archie106]

Tanak is a lucky lucky boy

[meh]

Tänak used his luck-pool as well.

Wtf. Tänak lost half of the car.

[Rallyper]

There will be more victims on this stage...

[wyler]

here is the team play...also from ogier! : )

[deephouse]

And again Ogier...

[EstWRC]

Ogier doesn’t care what tires he has

[CeskyOndra]

And Ogier also

[deephouse]

One stage at Monte could wipe out half the grid

[deephouse]

And Fourmaux scary moment

[Rallyper]

There will be a lot of souvenirs in the stage...

[EstWRC]

lol Tänak had half of the car missing

Let’s pray the rollcage wasn’t damaged

[becher]

Ahh right when my internet went awol....

[Morte66]

Tanak really didn't want the back of that car...

[meh]

Hyundai will have busy-busy service comaing.

[TypeR]

How is this even fixable :D

[archie106]

These tyres are really strong - no puncture for Ogier or Tanak!

[denkimi]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GiDfaPkWMAA3WW_?format=jpg&name=large

[EstWRC]

Fourmaux has been mega so far

Surprised he is already so fast. Maybe the experience with tires helps

[jonkka]

How is this even fixable :D

These are space frame cars, panels are mainly just aesthetics. If they have enough time, it's fixable. Luckily, it's long 43 min service.

[meh]

Whoohoo. Hats off Fourmaux.

[CeskyOndra]

Fourmaux is flying

[Kras]

Fourmaux has been mega so far

Surprised he is already so fast. Maybe the experience with tires helps

It's just the starting postition

[tbazsi95]

These are space frame cars, panels are mainly just aesthetics. If they have enough time, it's fixable. Luckily, it's long 43 min service.

I think depends on the roll cage. FIA will check it.

[EstWRC]

Btw hankook had wrong tyre info for Ogier. He had two super softs not one

[meh]

It's just the starting postition

Are you serious? So Taka should be faster than Fourmaux? And should every car after them be faster than them? #facepalm

[PLuto]

It's just the starting postition

It is starting position and tyres choice.

[Kras]

Are you serious? So Taka should be faster than Fourmaux? And should every car after them be faster than them? #facepalm

It's not just that obviously. Bit it's a big factor. We've already seen friday hero Formaux multiple times.

Taka is no benchmark. Him still having a seat is embarrasing

[jonkka]

I think depends on the roll cage. FIA will check it.

Certainly but it did not seem that big impact at all.

[Tauri_J]

How was Neuville so confident he Will get to the service? That wheel was not even rotating

[TypeR]

Certainly but it did not seem that big impact at all.
Pretty hard tho https://x.com/sjrvideoracing/status/1882750653812052318

[Kras]

How was Neuville so confident he Will get to the service? That wheel was not even rotating

Maybe he has the whole rear suspension assembly in spares. We'll see soon enough

[EstWRC]

The previous m-sport duo the heroes so far today.

Tänak again with completely wrong tyre choice like it has been tradition the last seasons

[240RS]

Gregoire Munster has been my driver of the morning so far. Surprised at his pace!!!!

[meh]

The previous m-sport duo the heroes so far today.

Tänak again with completely wrong tyre choice like it has been tradition the last seasons

Yeah, who had on their "bingo" card, that Fourmaux and Munster were fighting over a stage win beating all world champions?

[jonkka]

Pretty hard tho https://x.com/sjrvideoracing/status/1882750653812052318

It ripped alongside the car and took panels off, there wasn't big stopping impact.

[TypeR]

Fourmaux first stage win with Hyundai!

[Tanelv]

Tänak again with completely wrong tyre choice like it has been tradition the last seasons
Unlucky with the cancellation of SS5 as well where studs would have had benefit.

[csakly]

Is there any changes in the further events? RallyTV messed up the broadcast lineup complately.

[deephouse]

How was Neuville so confident he Will get to the service? That wheel was not even rotating

Why would he give up so easily. Many crews before him did have worse conditions and crawl to the end. He also have many situations last year and always he crawl back and take most he could. And that why he was champion. He managed the best out of all.

[CeskyOndra]

Neuville will probably get back to 7th and then he needs more trouble for the front runners which I can't see coming right now, this was the trickiest stage of the weekend probably

[jonkka]

Why would he give up so easily. Many crews before him did have worse conditions and crawl to the end. He also have many situations last year and always he crawl back and take most he could. And that why he was champion. He managed the best out of all.

Because regulations require four freely rotating wheels on road sections. His car on condition it arrived to stop control is not road legal. Unless Thierry can work miracles, he has to stop. Regulations for this were amended for this season, having stricter wording now.

[EstWRC]

Kinda ironic that mistakes from 3 world champions on this stage not from youngsters

[deephouse]

Is there any changes in the further events? RallyTV messed up the broadcast lineup complately.

I don't think so. When they start broadcasting it was great. You could switch between any driver who have camera onboards, but then few years later, they raise the price, mess up completely, take that option out, and the platform is so bad, that it should be fixed already. Even TV app wasn't available last year. But at least we have something to watch (when it's working), for other stuff like live data, moments and so on... we have kind people here which brings value information. So thanks again.

[EstWRC]

Any news of Neuville is moving?

[PLuto]

Any news of Neuville is moving?

Yes, he is on way to service.

[deephouse]

I heard now that he repaired the car in that state that the wheels did rotate, but he stopped, they suspect he is checking the car.

According to maps he is moving

[Rallyest]

What time do they arrive to service, i really hope there is no roll cage damage on Tänak, and Neuville can keep his wheel rotating

[deephouse]

Tanak just arrived there

[EstWRC]

What time do they arrive to service, i really hope there is no roll cage damage on Tänak, and Neuville can keep his wheel rotating

I would be surprised if there is rollcage damage. The tree just ripped the hood off. Another question is if they manage to repair it on time.

[Päss1928]

Btw hankook had wrong tyre info for Ogier. He had two super softs not one

I always wonder how do they get it wrong so often, is it really that difficult.

[doubled1978]

Yeah, who had on their "bingo" card, that Fourmaux and Munster were fighting over a stage win beating all world champions?

Munster is a surprise for me, but not Fourmaux.
Really impressed with Munster so far, I hope he can keep it up.

[Tauri_J]

I would be surprised if there is rollcage damage. The tree just ripped the hood off. Another question is if they manage to repair it on time.

I Think it was a pole like Ogier

[doubled1978]

I would be surprised if there is rollcage damage. The tree just ripped the hood off. Another question is if they manage to repair it on time.

Yeah, it looks just cosmetic. I think the structure is ok, just ripped all the bodywork off. I have to say I was surprised at the damage after watching the incident.

[Rallyest]

anyone with rallytv please keep us updated.

[deephouse]

It's Tanak. Haha he always do it big or it doesn't count. Kinda remind me of McRae

[tbazsi95]

It was a massive luck. He lost "only" the rear of the car. It was almost a frontal collision.

Dear promoter, if you happen to watch around in this forum - as being at the correct time at the correct place is part of the rally (as you'll get penalties otherwise), please provide online timing for all the drivers, that it is followable who needs to be where and when.

For me it depends how high is the bank they are standing on? Difficult to see from that angle, if it’s quite high it should be ok, but if it’s only a little above the road, they are right in the firing line there.
Either way, I would prefer to be more to the right of where they are standing given it’s downhill approach.

Dirtfish on facebook is giving us better overview of the action and situations than the official promoter

Crap coverage from rallytv :(

[PLuto]

Tänak continue too

Crap coverage from rallytv :(

Don't get in to the Dakar then.

The count the cars out in the morning, and they count them back in the evening.

What happens in between is a big mystery!

[deephouse]

I watched few days ago 10minute long clip from behind the scenes on live coverage work and how it's done. It's somewhere on RallyTV on some random section. It's interesting, kudos for that. I also believe that maybe they will provide this so called "live data" to public at some point in a season. Otherwise they should just shut up. But even when it will come I think it will not be so detailed or it will lack this "live feeling". We see how times are updated... So much delay compared to eWRC site. Kudos also to Hankook data system provided. This was never done before, but it's again out of the RallyTV site. Again, I don't know how they will achieve stick everything into that site, because it's absolute crap. I don't really dare to open two tabs simultaneously, because that thing will crash and log me out. This is the MAJOR ISSUE they should focus on. This basic things and the site, that should work without this stupid annoying faults. I believe that they don't have so much users and old servers to people being on site in crowds and the system would overload.

Tanak's off from the outside:

The beauty of rallying! Happy for Neuville to carry it

[eib1]

Tänak continue too

[TypeR]

Now everybody with 4 SSoft + 2 Studded

[EstWRC]

Like brand new!!

Everybody with 4 super softs and 2 studded except Munster who has 2 non studded

[CeskyOndra]

Im surprised by the studded tires, that means that SS8 is still under ice

[jcevc]

I think also SS9 which will be driven in night for all (first car 17:34 (if no delay applied)) will start to freeze...

[Morte66]

I figure Ogier will pass Evans if they both stay on the road because Ogier is pushing harder. But...

[EstWRC]

Neuville 15 seconds quicker in first split than in the morning

[meh]

Is it just me or All-live crashes for others as well?

[Morte66]

Hah. Elfyn was on it.

[EstWRC]

Tänak is so bad on muddy tarmac. Loosing chunks of time like yesterday

[Katvala]

Is it just me or All-live crashes for others as well?It did for me for a while on this stage, but it is working properly now

[EstWRC]

Seems the first half of the stage is actually getting better? Based on Katsutas pace

And the second half worse

[Kras]

Formaux dropping time in the end like Tanak. Overheating supersofts maybe?

[CeskyOndra]

Hyundais just worse than Toyotas on muddy section again

[linni]

Works flawlessly on a slow Telia 4G connection.

[Rallyper]

Nope. No problems here.

[Rallyper]

Smth wrong with Pajari?

[CeskyOndra]

I expected a bit more from Pajari today

[deephouse]

Maybe karma for dropping Malkonen

[Rallyper]

Did he mean he´s ill?

[PLuto]

Smth wrong with Pajari?

I think he is just not a fan of Monte. Last year he was struggling too...

[Morte66]

A thing about Pajari... I watched him in WRC2 on Monte last year and he took it so easy I wondered if he was in stage mode at times. This year he is going much harder. So aside from everything else, I think he's a Finnish gravel guy and this is maybe his least favourite rally. That's not the whole story, but it's a factor.

[CeskyOndra]

I had just take a look at tomorrow stages - Very high temperatures during today and the night too..

[denkimi]

I was going to say mcerlean is making progress by being faster than the rc2's, but then came rossel.

So far not a great succes for our 2 newcomers.

[AE1WRC]

Driver of the day is still GMuns for me. Kalle also is back to his usual self. I have to say both Tanak and Thierry are very lucky to be still in the rally.

This next stage will be tricky with black ice. The behind runners should have an advantage but let's wait and see.

[AndersX]

Re Pajari: show me one sane rally driver who would say that he/she would like and have fun on this type of road - it is like a lottery - turn and hope it will work, especially in high speed. Seems he is taking very measured risks - no point to smash the car, despite the potential shame on loosing to McErlean.

[Morte66]

Gryazin dropped about a third of his lead to Rossel in there. I hope those tyres pay off later.

[CeskyOndra]

Neuville no studded tires at this stage

I would say ogier is the luckiest so far. 2 off's that could have ended his rally, but he got away with both without much time loss.

[CeskyOndra]

Cancellation of the first pass is a real shame. Would've been like 3 kms of ice.

I think loeb and ogier like these conditions. It separates the best from the good.

[Rallyper]

Why did RallyTV cut Evans downhill on ice????

[EstWRC]

Fourmaux is just putting to shame his experienced team mates at the moment

[jonkka]

Yeah, he's doing way better than I expected.

[Katvala]

Why did RallyTV cut Evans downhill on ice????They started showing it on a little overlay screen, which is some improvement at least!

Tänak has lost for stage winner 13.5, 6.4, 17.8, 6.7, 21.2, 10.4, 12.2 - but in total loses 37.7 to the O/A leader after SS8.

[Rallyest]

I dont know if im the only one who has noticed, but Kalle has a new favourite word 😀

[meh]

I have noticed, but it's not new. Soon FIA will have a regulation for that.

[jonkka]

Munster punctures. Have I missed something or is this first puncture for Hankook (in this rally)?

[EstWRC]

What the hell is with Pajari today

[TypeR]

Munster punctures. Have I missed something or is this first puncture for Hankook (in this rally)?
He had puncture on recce also :D

[Lead]

What the hell is with Pajari today

I know its not his favorite rally to say at least, but that constant time loss is way too huge.

[CeskyOndra]

How is this even possible

[jonkka]

Neuville off again, looked similar if not same corner...

[CeskyOndra]

Same corner..

[CeskyOndra]

He had a time lost already before the corner , 7.5s dropped to Evans. Or is it after?

[CeskyOndra]

So puncture before the corner. Yep.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Yep, puncture already.

[jonkka]

Fourmaux wanting 2nd overall, it seems.

[EstWRC]

If Fourmaux says now he took it steady then he is a liar. He has been over the edge all the day

lol and he said it was a clean stage

[EstWRC]

Fourmaux the fastest guy today

https://www.ewrc-results.com/leg/89918-rallye-automobile-monte-carlo-2025/?leg=2

[PLuto]

They are finishing with interviews in last stage after last Rally1 car? Why? There is no need to have cameraman and stage reporter anywhere else...

[Morte66]

Rossel gained about 30 seconds on Gryazin and went into the lead in WRC2 by 21.4s. Those studs didn't work out for Gryazin.

[Morte66]

If Fourmaux says now he took it steady then he is a liar. He has been over the edge all the day

lol and he said it was a clean stage

Yep. He's pushing his luck.

[JAM]

I would say ogier is the luckiest so far. 2 off's that could have ended his rally, but he got away with both without much time loss.

Be carefull, you shouldn't say that. :D :D :D

[denkimi]

Wasn't that the way he drove the ford too?

[EstWRC]

So two punctures so far, one for Neuville and for Munster.

Out of 9 stages Toyota drivers have won 8, Fourmaux one for Hyundai.

The Toyota’s seemed to be a lot better on the messy and muddy sections.
