Sebastien Loeb and Isabelle Galmiche had an exit during their pre-event test for Acropolis Rally Greece which was caused by brake failure! #WRC #AcropolisRally #AcropolisRallyGreece

Those big stones can damage everything on a rallycar. A speciality in this rally. Big stones I mean.

It wasnt from stone,brake hose failure.
Happened again the same morning,and at Monte pet too...

Why does brake hose failure if not from outside missile? Or was it bad controls of certain batch?

Rally Greece will be hardest test this year. If Hyundai rear will be good or not probably means nothing. The driver who wins is the one with least problems...

So a Toyota driver then? The Hyundai is fickle and MSport has a bad reliability record this year... Rovanpera's start position isn't great, maybe Evans and Lappi can get the win then? Katsuta should aim for a good result as well.

It's not as tough and rough event as it was in the past. I would say Sardinia is rougher, and Hyundai did pretty well in Sardinia this year...of course there are rough stages and sections, but also very smooth and fast ones. Many old rough stages like Tarzan have been repaired to be smoother.

Am I right thinking there should be no tyre saving on stage 15, as the crews will go into service park before heading to Powerstage?

Of course there may still be some cruising if the gaps are big...

Maybe not. I don´t know stages this year, but talk from experience from 2012. If any stage is same as Aghia Marina was back then, my words will be true.

Yeah. Well I've looked at the onboards from the stages that were run last year and recce videos from this year, but obviously I haven't been there personally to check the situation. But last year the rally was mostly smooth. I would say SS2+4 and SS3 will be the roughest ones, as well as some sections on SS5, SS6 and the power stage.
