Just watched Tamak's SS13 onboard, wow that was fast. Positively (little) surprised by his (clean) driving though. Does D-Mack adventure helped him to grow as a driver?!?

Weather:
+15..17, rain starts at around 2-3 am, continues until the end of rally, maybe some 30 min or 1 h moments with almost no rain. So, wet gravel, mud, standing water, rapidly deepening ruts, soon water in the ruts etc. Starting earlier should benefit. Shity conditions. Many fights for tomorrow, lets see what happens!
They were told just 1 referendum They had it and the majority wanted to stay IN the UK That's it accept it ,your prosperity from oil is gone ! Just same with Brexit Just ONE referendum 1000000 more people wanted OUT of the EU ,so except the result and let's make it work
It's still called Rajd Polski. Rally of Poland is only a second name to fit the standard naming used in WRC. Just check the official event website: http://www.rajdpolski.pl/
Anyway Rajd = Rally in Polish.
The value of the Pirelli Star Driver programme is strong in this rally
nice.
Hairpin.... check
Driver face focused and others unfocused... check
panning because the spot i visited was crap but it was in the rally guide.... check
all you need are some old houses, some flowers and you can call yourself a pro kid.
We are working quite a lot on Super Specials, and as you can see on the first running the deficit was 1.1 sec compared ti I think 3.4 last year.
But both runs after he has been given the "wrong" lane to start from, and then you get grael thrown on the windscreen two-three times during the laps, so a little added difficulty. But progression is being made, as you can see when you compare to Poland last year. :)
Latvala seems to be past his best these days. Behind Mikelssen in the championship, slower here on an event you would think would suit him..
Having said that, he will probably now go and win in Finland.
Is he contracted for next year?
So what will the weather do to the road order today? Looking at the start order Ogier might benefit from being so much further up the order compared to the top 3, assuming the wet does make being further up the order better?
The fat lady is just about to gargle and clear her throat.
Good morning guys!

Tanak only 1,3 sec slower from Mikkelsen at last split
Great stage by Andreas :)
Was expecting that the first four would lose a lit more on Ogier, but instead...

Sun 09:15 - SS18: Tanak
He completes 2.4sec slower than Mikkelsen and his rally lead over Mikkelsen is 18.9sec. "So slippery," he says. "We are far too hard with the car set-up. Very difficult. We'll change the set-up before the next one."
