The SS9 stopped after @OttTanak #wrc #RallyArgentina
I'm a bit disappointed, I know rally should be rough, and I like when it is like that but I don't know if we can call it rally when 4 out of 5 cars have problems. If they continue like this there will remain 3 or 4 drivers at the end and all the others under rally2.
Yeah but still there are drivers having their cars fit for the stages. Even Meeke who has been very fast. So you can break down your car anywhere in a WRC rally if not brain is with you.
Sat 15:21 - SS9: Stage stopped
Organisers have halted the stage after the fifth car (Tanak). Neuville is held at the start line. Paddon and his co-driver John Kennard are okay.
Sat 15:30 - SS9: Cancelled
Organisers confirm that SS9 will not run. Crews have been instructed to drive to the start of SS10.

JUST IN: Ogier stopped after the finish on SS9. Attempting to fix his broken powersteering, but may have to retire if it is not fixed.
Everybody is being hitted with problems....Seems like most crews are not happy with the rally
Usually argentinian organisers mess up one thing every year.. this year they decided to mess the whole event up... what a farce.
what is going on with Polo here?!?
Latvala had broken diff and Mikkelsen broke damper as a result of puncture and later broke suspension. It seems that four spectators were involved in the incident in stage 9

edit 1,05 sec at 3rd split
Meeke's error earlier today. @1:00 is probably where Paddon crashed:

People standing on outside on corner equals accident waiting to happen - unfortunately.

Funny that Live Text reports that Sordo stopped at 3,9 km's when on splits he's not even started the stage, nor is JML who's to start before him. Call it unbalanced speed in reporting...
Another... :( https://twitter.com/santiagocoarasa/...58293528461312

Meeke 8.5s up on Ostberg ! :)
