Good run Teemu.
Very decent time by Suninen, safely posted in second
Suninen got closer to the lead
Sordo stopped now.
Well I keep hearing how safe the petrol cars from fire (unlike electric ones)... and then keep watching the Polos, Fabias, now the Fiesta, Breen's C3..
What happened to Sordo?
Sordo again having problems, what the hell Hyundai?
What a disaster for Sordo
:D:D:D:D:DQuote:

Evans now in 4th and Rovanpera 5th but Tänak just couple of secs away from them
Helmet off for Sordo. Smoke under the bonnet. Fire estinguisher ready...
Stopped.
And Lappis car is now gone, completely from fire.
Adamo must be fuuumiiinnnggg
like WTF.. NO firedepatrment at all.. World rallycar just melting down..
Tänak should get those boys. Better road position + extra tire.Quote:

Tidemand can't afford any stickers for his car?
Does anybody know who's funding Tidemand's drive here? Normally he has loads of sponsors on the car, here none.
I asked this yesterday.Quote:

Really sorry for M-Sport
Might be "Racenetwork" who sponsored his starts in the WRC Fiesta last year. Not mentioned on their website though.Quote:

I have seen McRae's Focus burning down in Finland and you can't put that sort of fire out. Even the fire squad in Finland didn't succeed. Once the fire takes control it's game over. And it goes so quickly. Nothing you can do about it.

It was right below the middle-rear of the car.... likely some (carbon?) parts touching the exhaust. That would need constant soaking by water over longer time to stop. Like Veiby had in Portugal last year when he stopped right next to a fire truck.Quote:

Should have started already 20 minutes agoQuote:

at the moment no explanation for the 2 delays
Next stage is running really late. Now some 25 minutes I reccon...
In these high temps fire is always possible and should be taken into account when making safety decisions.
SS 8 is delayed, but nobody knows why and for how long...
I think fire brigade from start from next stage came to Lappis car, so they are waiting for them to come back...
Sordo sayin on twitter he isnt sure they would continue tomorrow
only a handful of cars left then, even more crititcal for Tänak to get ahead of Evans and Rovanpera
Something was dripping and going on fire. Lappi said he lost the brakes after he drove off so maybe brake fluid.
Cancelled Stage 8 & 9, they're just changed the graphic on All Live...
oh crap...Quote:
