Katsuta has changed a wheel or smth, 2 minutes loss
Horrendous conditions at the last part of the stage.
So Hankook seems gets tarmac and snow tyres right, and gravel completely wrong. Back to drawing board.
I wouldn't pass judgement on the gravel tyres yet. After recce the drivers said that the roads are a lot rougher than they have been since safari returned to the championship. It may be that the conditions are making things look a lot worse.
Neuville fastest so far with sick engine !
No Idea how Neuville managed to get this to P3 LOL... Hopefully the issue is fixable in service
Tänak with a very good time, even with the muddy end didnt loose that much as on previous stages
so Tanak Neuville will be 2 3...
they hold quite well for few km even withour air....Quote:

Dry early, showers in time for the PS according to my weather app.
He took a masive cut near the end, saving more than 20 seconds IMO.Quote:

random thoughts: safari and acropolis always make me think "who would drive a hatchback irl in these conditions? not me. us trophy truck or dakar car minimium"
And who would drive SUVs on normal tarmac roads? not me and shouldn't no one.
anyone seen what did Evans hit?Quote:

That's what Dodge thought when in the early 80's they sent works Ramchargers to the Safari Rally. Of course they got beaten by the "tiny" Datsun, Peugeot and Opel. But hey, 2 of the 4 Dodge finished the event.Quote:

All that matters and ever mattered was the brand winning... the brand claiming their 'car' won The Safari Rally. No rally car is anything to do with the road car equivalent but the just Manufacturer's name getting the kudos.
But if anyone it's Toyota that deserved it and the reputation as tough and reliable. Those Totota HiLux were indestructible.
Munari drove one!Quote:

Kalle with serious problems, has not check to the TC yet
Evans gaining another point ,,thanks'' to Kalle's problems
Rovanpera seems to drive back to service
Tanak lost the pace again..
That's distaster for Rovanpera. Katsuta lucky once again.. And now properly
This stage is pretty hard on the car and easy to make a mistakeQuote:

+8.8s to Katsuta, who went a little off is big loss.. but oh well, that's how it isQuote:
