Virves seems to lost some pace compared to yesterday. Latvala and Korhonen are clearly faster today, Linnamäe as well.
So no wipers, affected Oliver heavily?
FIA Rally officials could learn from even the US/ Mexican etc desert racers. The road side 'pit stop' service crews often put a road cone on the desert race truck, buggy bonnet while the vehicle is stopped & serviced/ refueled and race vehicle crew change-overs in long races. The driver only moves off after a service crew member removes the road cone.
6 different stage winners so far, Evans and Ogier are not part of them.
Completely makes sense. It is complicated for a driver to have an overview of what is going on around the car, especially when someone is checking tires or are low for any other reason. This is already by default. Let's add to the list a really muddy car and missing mirrors; it is an impossible task.Quote:

M-Sport struggles with misted windscreens.
Very heavy rain at service park
Why didn't Sesks stop earlier to clear the windscreen?
I think they did not find a good/safe spot to stay, and if you can not see out at all, it makes finding one more complicated.Quote:

That was crazy that they still haven't got windscreen de-misting sorted in 2025. Ridiculous.

He is trying at least
What is happening with Fourmaux? 10 sec lost in sceond split?
Fourmaux 11.9 loss in 2nd split
edit: front right pressure alert, driving slowly
Puncture for Fourmaux by the look of it
Oh no, so unlucky..
Apparently puncture
Crazy fast stage, over 140 average
It means that Katsuta-Ogier-Evans are now fighting for 3rd position.
Rock on the stage for Neuville and Fourmaux punctures?
Neuville also.. no words
Neuville front-right as well.
Toyota can start partying already for 1-2-3-4-5.
Nightmare weekend for Hyundai when they announced they will continue
oh no, Neuville as well
What a disaster stage for Hyundai
Hankook strikes again, this time for Fourmaux as well
Disaster for the rally as well. How can you get a puncture on a straight road?
Lost for words.. this killed a great rally for me in some way, what were the chances getting it on a this type of stage and both of them to get it even more ridiculous.
Neuville looks furious with Hankook.
Complete and utter disaster stage for Tänak as well.
That‘s going to be a massive points deficit to claw back again if things stay like this.
May well be fourth in the championship again by this time tomorrow.
So since 2017 the only time that Toyota has been beaten here was 2022 Tänak with Hyundai.
Unfortunately they won’t be beaten again this year
Congrats to Toyota for manu champ title. Tänak gets decent start pos for next rallies. As we have seen, it really sucks to be cleaning the road.
What is the Vmax for the Hankook tyre? This stage was too much maybe :D
