[WRC] Acropolis Rally 2025

[Kras]

I hate commentator manufactured drama. Wow, Ogier Will steal 2 points from Tanak. Such a disaster

[KKS]

Not full gas from Ott

[KKS]

Puncture? Ogrrrrrrr

[linni]

Not full gas from Ott

Seems like a slow puncture for me.

[meh]

Fucking hell.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

I'm surprised Tanak left so much time on the PS after his speed all rally.

[becher]

Seems like a slow puncture for me.

Yeah the car looks a bit wild.

[linni]

Now seems all tyres ok.

[KKS]

Tyes looks ok

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Congrats Ott, amazing drive.

[becher]

Finally a win for Hyundai

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Oh shit, gearbox issue.

[linni]

Gearbox failure for Ott.

[KKS]

Gearbox failure... fffffuck

[becher]

What a timing.

[KKS]

This shitbox can drive only 335 of 345 km ... grrrr

[meh]

There is no win yet... Ott said to Martin that "hopefully we reach to home" (peaasi, et koju sõidab)

[Kras]

Almost retired after the finish lol

[BlueStrike]

Fuck‘s sake, Hyundai…

[TypeR]

,,Quality is amazing''
Hopefully they get to the service park

57 liaison section here to finish

[Corcaíoch]

Commentators so so poor! Praying we get Mads again in Estonia

[BlueStrike]

Tänak on the phone in the podium area. Butt-clenching time at Hyundai right now.

[KKS]

Did new rules that allow "mechanical assistanse" allow also towing by same manufacture car?

[Kras]

When and where do web get a confirmation that they made it back to service park?

[Corcaíoch]

Tanak really doesn't look like he's confident of getting that car back

[Kras]

Did new rules that allow "mechanical assistanse" allow also towing by same manufacture car?

Or at least roadside gearbox transplant ��

[KKS]

Seb need to call Rally Esonia orga to late wild card entry

[TypeR]

Seb need to call Rally Esonia orga to late wild card entry
Katsuta or Pajari ,,gets sick'' and need replacement.. :D

[Dontcut]

If I am correct Tänak's latest check in time is 16:29.

[EstWRC]

Is Tänak moving back now? Sorry I have been away the whole last two stages and now just read all the news

Unbelievable

[KKS]

Btw, great counter attack by Gus. Winning 9,7 to Rossel

[Dontcut]

Based on maps, at least he is moving.

[EstWRC]

https://webapps2.wrc.com/2020/web/live/live.html

Moving nicely at the moment I see

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Hopefully the car will cool down in road mode and the gearbox hangs in there...

[KKS]

Ott reached service park

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Tanak has made it back to Lamia. :)

[EstWRC]

Yessss!

Thank god. This would have been hard punishment after such a stellar drive

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Stressful end to the rally for Ott...

[satnav]

Just need to keep an eye on the Stewards Decisions now in case there's a sting in the tail.........Hopefully nothing silly

Based on provisional standing after SS15, Solberg could have 19 points (for the season) with Rally2 car, without entering 3 rallies out of 7 - and it is more than any M-Sport full-time Rally1 driver...

Of course. There is lot of people from rally community who is reading this forum (despite not writing). You cannot imagine how many messages and from which people I have received when this forum fall down few weeks ago...

[TypeR]

4 event fot wrc2 points, but still all 7 for wrc points. But it doesn't change the fact that he is ahead of them :D

I've thought a few times, "that's what I just said, or I just read, on the Forum" !

Nice to know we're still relevant. ;)

Great drive by Tanak, lucky the gearbox broke when it broke, although he would have been super unlucky if it broke on Sunday after a great rally.
We have to see Kalle's performance on fast gravel next. If he's still slow and with no confidence, he will hardly challenge for the title, the 2 asphalt rounds remaining won't save him.

I don't doubt Kalle's pace on Est and Fin. He will be one to beat. Period.
Canaries was one off when we talk about Hyundai's and Tänak's pace , they deffo challenge for podium in CER and JPN.

[Rallyper]

kalle isn´t "slow" in the meaning he is slow. Bcs he is still fast. My personal thought is that he must set up new goals, meaning it´s full focus from now on. Nothing else matters. That would help him in Est and Fin.

[EstWRC]

i will save this

apart from Canary, he has been nowhere and i doublt it suddenly changes when he is stuggling with the tires and setup

[rp]

It seems tha it will be almost impossible for Kalle to get used to Hankook on gravel. They have already tried everything. The tyre will be developed during the years and after that you never know.

At the same time have to remember that Estonia is his best event to succeed. It´s weird that Kalle is better in Estonia than Tänak and Kalle is not able to beat Tänak in Finland. It´s not Kalle´s event at all and also Evans has been there stronger.

[Yugo_para_siempre]

A very nice Rally Acropolis 2025 with a good route in my opinion.

We enjoyed it very much once more.

I really liked that this was the 1st win of Tanak at Rally Acropolis and also his and Hyundai's 1st win of the season.

I am not a Tanak or Hyundai supporter in general. But I like him because he is always very spectacular and even more because sometimes his is unlucky.

This year they already deserved to have a win so it was about time to actually get it.

I would really like it if Evans or Tanak get this year's title.
If I should bet now, I would say Tanak.

[Dontcut]

EST and FIN are all different sport of rallying. You can give Kalle Toyota Celica with any tyres and he still beats Ford Pumas.
Are you all forgotten about Sardinia power stage? Kalle absolutely smashed the field with 8 secs.
Btw I am Tänak's fanboy not Kalle's :D

To you visitors of acropolis rally: how was temperatures? How did you surrender the heatwaves of Mediterrainian?

[BlueStrike]

Just watched the replay of the Power Stage and you can really see Ott trying to avoid 3rd gear (the one that broke first) as much as possible. Shifting from 2nd to 4th quickly with almost no throttle application, going from 4th to 2nd just as quickly, and slowing down before corners so he doesn‘t have to shift up.

All in all, I‘m genuinely amazed he was even still up on the first couple of splits before the issue got worse.

I got heat stroke on Saturday from the crazy sun, heat and humidity from Friday. It wasn't good.

Vomited after I drove into SS8 for lock-in stage... and then stage opened after sweeper... drove the rest of the stage and about 5 mins before exiting, pulled over and vomited more! I was out for the rest of the day I think.

Oh dear! Crazy! Take care and hope you are recovered...
