SS8: We're looking at a 20-minute delay to the start of Dyfnant 2. This is because of a non-rally related incident in the stage #wrc #WRGB

Considering he will not have proper opposition in Australia except maybe Fuchs he isn't far from the accomplishment.

SS3 Hafren 1 35.14 km 20:54.9 4. 100.8 0.27 42:09.4
"A really tricky morning in conditions that we didn't want. The roads are like ice. I'm doing as much as I want to do to keep things safe."
SS4 Dyfnant 1 17.91 km 10:27.8 6. 102.7 0.50 52:37.2
"I had a good rhythm but just no grip. I did my best in there."
SS7 Hafren 2 35.14 km 21:18.4 5. 99.0 0.56 1:35:03.8
"That was a perfect stage for me and I did all I could."

Sounds like moaning to me (by the forum standards of course, otherwise all seems normal).

Ogier's driveshaft went just in the end of the stage, lucky guy

Fri 17:36 - SS8: Ogier –
The rally leader has been lucky on the final stage. "I'm really happy that the day is finished because I think the driveshaft has just broken in there. It's definitely something we need to work on because three cars suffering the same problem in the same day has never happened before."

Is logical they got that, so they would have no problems with Mikkelsen..

I wonder if Ogier is a bit more gentile with the car since his failed last. Or lasted at all.

Tänak with a puncture last 6km-s...the day just went worse with every stage after morning loop.

Well at least we only lost Breen of the top guys today... not bad in tricky conditions.

Any news on his car for Rally2 ?

No Breen tomorrow..

craigbreen__A day to forget... In a big battle for a podium place after the first loop but unfortunatly got caught out on a slippy left hander in Myherin and we rolled. Unfortunatly the damage is too much to repair and our weekend ends here. So so dissapointed, but we can be proud of our speed this morning!

Ogier has a short memory. The failed bosch injectors on argentina last(?) year is still fresh in my memory.

However speed that made him end in a ditch. Understand he´s gutted.

I never got this, Mikkelsen's driveshaft broke on the road section? It's already broken at the start of Dyfnant.

180 kms without a service break seems a bit too much. Drivers aren’t able to repair small problems or change set ups and time differences get too big to be recovered. Still hoping to see Tanak attacking the lead, but it won’t be easy without a (rare) mistake from Ogier.

Fantastic Lappi so far, but Suninen will certainly give it all tomorrow. Peugeot WRC2 nightmare continues after another ditch experience from Suarez…his compatriot Lopez is doing a better job in WRC3, still a long way from Koci and Tempestini.

It's almost like Rallying becomes an endurance event, where it is about balancing risk versus reward, rather than just going flat out... Almost like the drivers have to think, not just whoever has the fastest car and drives the quickest. That sounds like a terrible idea... ;)

Did Mikkelsen's had them? What I remember it was in Ogier's & Latvala's Polos.
