Now Hyundai wont be happy as Tanak and Neuville can't really take risks.
Morte66 is the new Andrea Adamo! ;-) Good eye!
Tänak already going with similar pace as Katsuta.Quote:

The engine may have overheated after losing coolant - could be unfixable without an engine stripdown?
In the last stage Tanak only lost 1 second to the stage winner, so it might not be something so straightforward
Sadly predictable from Fourmaux, when you push that hard you can only get away with it for so long. I’m glad he had a go…
In 2023 Rally Estonia Tanak had 5 min time penalty due to engine change before the rally but after the shakedown. I think they cannot disassemble or change the engine. Headgasket and the head don't like without coolant.Quote:

Agreed, I had counted like 20 moments together with Monte for him and now finally a one he couldn’t escape.Quote:

Silly from fourmaux to push as hard as he did. He wasn't going to take back 20 or 30 seconds on speed alone.
Maybe his contact agreement that hes not just a 'Third driver' was true and he could do what he liked for a higher finish.
The Junior trilogy by Adrien Fourmaux:
- not fastening the helmet in SS11
- pushing like hell in SS12 with stage win
- snow bank in 1st kilometer of SS13
(Including in the middle: «*Being the only one to take only one spare tyre*»).
This stage looks tricky
Evans had a moment
First mistake by Evans but got away with it.
Good job by Taka staying up there.
Indeed, I must say I am pretty surprised at that.Quote:

I counted easily 10 people and a couple of snowmobiles that were at the end of the straight after on incar, but according to the Swedish radio, they were not allowed to get to the car and try to get it up.Quote:

Damn Evans. I guess its really easy to be late on the clutch in a hairpin
Eesh.
Go Katsuta, it's yours rally to win.
BS.Quote:

Im 90% sure Ott has a broken head gasket
Well, it's all on the table tomorrow. Evans has a bit of a lead. Katsuta is having a good one. Neuville has gone very well today. Tanak, if they can fix his car, is not out of the question.
As if the rally isn’t short enough…what’s the reasoning behind it?Quote:

Shame about the problem, I’m pretty sure he would have lead today.
Security. However, before the rally there were discussions about reindeer that could possibly be in the area. Don't know if that's the reason though.Quote:

That was my first thought. But I'm sure stranger things have happened...Quote:
