Camilli was also the fastest R5 in Sardegne 2017 but wasn't running for WRC2 points. Also second fastest R5 in Finland 2017. Could have been fastest in Catalunya as well, but a diff broke on the last day.

Lappi again messing around!
still cleaning, surprising.
There will be now a fifth different stage winner on the fifth stage of this rally.
Plenty of cars using different lines, having different track etc. in between.Quote:

What a speed for Tanak after 6:20:eek:
Tänaks dampers overheating and the car getting too soft in the end of the stage, damn
Tanak has been very impressive this season when he's in the zone...i'm very happy for him as i remember the rough times he had earlier on in his career. He's now a complete driver in my eyes.
i'm just hoping everything comes together for him in this rally----he needs it to
so far it been a good rally,,,the main group of wrc drivers seem to be relatively closer than i expected up to the end of the morning loop....let's see how the evening goes for everyone
Sordo fastest at split 2. Latvala almost matching Tänak's pace at split 5
Longest stage to come - more drama?Quote:

Latvala has made up like 3 seconds in the last split
and Latvala passed Neuville in overall and just 6 secs from Ogier.
Breen fastest at split 3
similar to Evans, he needs to have a really good rally to boost his chances of a seat and just to generally improve his self confidenceQuote:

in his mind waiting to be unleashedQuote:

i'm hoping he can keep a good speed at least...plus the further he gets back up the leader board, the better his road position tomorrowQuote:

Easy to forget that only one of the M-Sport machines has aero and engine updates...
and Loeb up 4th!

after stage 6
Tanak 193
Neuville 191
Ogier 188
lol estonian fans getting airtime.
with the rain coming tomorrow, Neuville starting position would be very good and could well play into his hands.

Some troubles for Loubet and Katsuta.
