He actually hit a tree about 100m from our spot and could not get going for 10-15 seconds. The crowd was going insane, love these southerners :DQuote:

Will be interesting to see this last stage, I wonder if Ogier will again have an advantage in the 2nd half or if the Hyundai extra tyre will prove to be worth it.
Latvala didn't start a stage on time
hope it's a gps glitch
Hope so too but his car was leaking oil badly at the last stop line...Quote:

Ostberg's lead didnt last long... Mikkelsen back ahead by 0.7s after small mistake by Mads.
JML is stopped. Seems his Toyota is cursed with issues this year.
Latvala didn't start a stage

Maybe better with +5min and Rally2, than no engine at all.
Fuck sake. That's 4 mechanical issues in the last 4 events. NOT will be saying 'I told you so' very soon...

EDIT - Tanak making a move.

Unfortunately #10 @JariMattiWRC had to stop for today after SS5. Will know more, once car back. Trying to restart tomorrow. @RallyRACC
My bad. Thought it was only on Saturday.Quote:

Again Ogier with a clear advantage in the 2nd half of the stage which includes the tarmac part.
+3s for Neuville to Ogier... better than this morning but still a time loss.
On other way 11.4 sec not so big tragedy before full two days of rallyingQuote:

@SebOgier
"Let's see at the end, but whatever happens now I can be happy with my day. I expected to lose more compared to some guys..."
at first pass at morning (stage 3)Mikkelsen was faster at asphalt part from Ogier,at asphalt he gained these 2,8 sec from Ogier.At previous split they were on par (+0)Quote:

If you had listened to the radio at that point, could you as a team member have stopped him before disaster struck and have him patch the leak with whatever they had in the car?
Meeke at a cracking pace to start - # nervous!
Oil leaks usually cannot be patched unless it's a small hose that is leaking. I bet it's something more major where they can't fix it with a new hose a few zip ties and super tape.Quote:

Mikkelsen consistency lost time here... quite opposite that was in morning
Oh yes you can, if you are a good bush mechanic you can patch leaks with pretty much anything (unless it is power steering fluid which is probably over 100 bar). Engine oil pressure should be around 4-6 bar. I have patched leaks at those pressures with pieces of tshirt or rubber and a hose clamp.Quote:
