Biiiig moment for Fourmaux
Great action watching Fourmaux.
A shame the option to have no commentary is gone. They are really bad and add nothing. They are talking about Pajari crash at the moment Ostberg passes that corner. But they just don't have a clue it was there... I've been working all day and just seen that Pajari clip, and I recognized the spot straight away...
The German commentator speaks less and is less of a bother! I swapped between this and the English when they got too talkative with things of no interest.Quote:

This is the sort of stages you would get if WRC went to N. Ireland for 'Rally GB'.

Neuvile starting have some moments in the second loop but nothing major
TOP3 covered just by 8 seconds!!
0.3s between the Toyota team-mates after Day 1 !
i wish Tänak had shown at least this kind of pace in the morning loop....gave 6.4 secs away with afternoon loop compared to 25secs with morning loop
Kristensson stopped :(
Was having a good Rally2 debut
And Rovanpera can't restart tomorrow
And a hit in the bank also from Greensmith.
My tweet got a mention on WRC+ :D
Another Top 5 stage time for Fourmaux.
impressive!
Fourmaux faster than Breen on SS8!
yes Fourmaux is doing very good!
for a guy with so few entries even with r5 machinery,is very impressive!
More people in this stage than whole Rally Australia.
so day 1 done and TOP3 covered just by 8 seconds.
Neuville - super, very very good speed like always from him on tarmac, on second loop wasnt so fast but i guess it was bcs the conditions were more even.
Ogier - the old fox has habit these days to get up to speed stage by stage, reminds me of Monte this year and still is my pickem for the win - afternoon loop was very good from him.
Evans - like always, quietly minding his own business but very good day also from him.
Tänak - 2015 Rally Corsica springs to my mind, where Evans was second and Tänak 10th overall, 3 minutes down from his teammate Evans. i have noticed These kind of tarmac rallies doesnt suit him at first, but he gets up to speed eventually.
Breen - good debut with this car on such a level, exactly the performance i expected.
Formaux - super debut IMO, very good stage times.
Greensmith - quite okay actually for his standards IMO, at least trouble free day.
Loubet - same as Greensmith
Katsuta - many mistakes again unfortunately.
It was fun to listen to WRC All Live talking about how good this was for Greensmith, as he is lacking experience, that he is so close to such a big talent as Fourmaux. Anything to make Greensmith look better?Quote:

IMHO They are quite often doing quite a disservice for British drivers.Quote:

Tom Kristensson
@KristenssonTom
We've been forced to stop!
We hit a small rock and then hit a bigger one which took out the cooler. Me and David are okay and we will most likely restart tomorrow again

Anyone read an explanation about what happened to Mikkelsen. I just watched his onboard from SS2.
Car seems very twitchy from the beginning, already a big moment shortly after the start.
Than later in the stages (this start around 9min) he first went of slightly with an obvious bang that bend/broken his rear right suspension. Bit later he goes wide again with a crabbing car, hits something again and fully brakes the suspension and goes off. He tries to continue, spins again and then stops to repair.
Toyota is looking good on asphalt, Hyundai should be worried... Neuville is doing good so far, but it won't be easy to keep the 2 Toyota behind.Quote:

agreed and thats what he was doing today. not pushing if you dont have the confidence.Quote:

Well after the small off in the grass it's kind of clear what happened cause you can hear the bang. What is weird is how the car behaved many times before in right corners (same direction as the one where the off happened).Quote:

Also interesting they fixed it and had "faster than road speed" times in the remaining stages of the loop.
Still nothing form SS6 and on post-Arai?
Exactly my toughts, car behaves weirdly... You can indeed hear 2 clear bangs on his first 2 offs, so that is obvious like you say.Quote:
