SS10 delayed by 17 minutes acc. to Ewrc.
Virves doing really good so far. Over shot a junction yesterday and lost 13 seconds where most of the loss came for him
RallyTV: Five cars on SS10, then break... what is going on?????
They said the coverage of stage 10 would move to TVR(?), don’t know…and then they wonder how this sport is half dead….Quote:

Looks like one-off rally Poland. No return for years to come
And seems I cursed him cause he now suddenly lost 8 seconds to Pajari and also podium position.Quote:

Fourmaux is just super impressive this year. The only one who is fastest than Tänak at the moment
Ok now in the end they came faster than Tänak.
Mikkelsen is also impressing after the tarmac rounds
Something happende to Kajetan?
Excellent response from Mikkelsen after losing 5s on the previous stage, I missed his interview at the end, did he give any reason for losing so much time on SS10?
Ewrc says off roadQuote:

He struggle alot to understand the car on tarmac, and asked the team to do this rally to show what he is capable of.
Doing better than i expected, really good perfomance so far.

Looking at the performance of sesks, we should get rid of katsuta and put some real talented kids in his cars. I'm willing to excuse munster because it's his fitst season in a rc1 car, but katsuta is on his 4th full season and is still slow.
I am and it is super frustrating. We saw yesterday one whole stage and few cars on 2 of the stages. It sucks big timeQuote:

While I agree that Katsuta should go, his seat is permanently secure due to national connection between him and Toyota.Quote:

Its getting boring seeing him every rally now. Even the Japanese fans must realise he's just making up the numbers.Quote:

The way some people talk about him you would think he's closer to Serderidis or somebody like Matthew Wilson who didn't get his seat based on pace either!
eWRC
Tänak / Järveoja
Retired after service
He mentioned he had an engine issue at the end of the SSS. Possibly saving the car for Sunday now.
Makes sense as there is nothing to gain from today + they get much longer service time.Quote:

He complained something about engine earlier today
A bit overreacting?Quote:

Sensible not to ruin it cause it’s brand new for Tänak and only 2 engines this year with the new rules
Katsuta got hurt a lot here by slow pace in a single stage on Friday, this led to a bad start position and now he is stuck.
Overall he is a decent driver, also for a 3rd spot in a manu team...in case we had 3-4 manu teams. Now with 2,5 teams it feels some drivers that often are faster than him have to sit at home. Since he gets to drive anyway, using him as 4th would be great, much better than selling 4th seat to Bertelli.
With regards to Katsutas future he might even get a rally win at some point, he certainly has the speed every now and then. Consistency (speed + staying on the road) does seem to be a problem, hurting him also as a point-scoring driver.
And when Tanak doesn't complain about something?Quote:

Probably a typo(?)Quote:
