⚠️UPDATE⚠️ We're having technical issues. We'll try a temporary fix and try to get through the day
Andrea Adamo, boss of Hyundai:
"There is a problem in the fuel system. We know that we have made a mistake and it will not happen in future. We still have one car running and all we can do is give Thierry as much support as possible."
3,2s slower than Kalle on SS3
Presume Ostberg will have a penalty for being late into the stage?
For sure.Quote:

Could they have made a mistake with calculating the amount of fuel?
Decent pace from Katsuta, second in normal WRC2 and fourth in RC2 (third once Østberg gets time penalties)
Adamo said "we're not so stupid"Quote:

Let's see if they can fix it.
Could be, Pietarinen also fourth fastest RC2 in Arganil with Pirellis.Quote:

#tyre info - Day 1 afternoon
All the Michelin @OfficialWRC drivers with 5 MICHELIN LTX Force H4 (Hard) except @SebOgier with 3H+2M6 (Medium)

Greensmith quite happy with his WRC1 start and rightly so:
�� “Not a great stage 2, but the rest has been pretty good & the car is so much fun to drive. If we could find a few more tenths per km in the afternoon, I’ll be very happy”. #GG44
Loeb thinks fuel pressure problem is a heat issue.
Like I said. If mounting a fuelhose wrong, it could get steamy fuel to hinder the flow. When very hot that is.Quote:

Did Meeke get intercom sorted?
Loeb retired once with Xsara in Turkey due to running out if fuel.Quote:

That would be a fairly stupid mistake on their part. If routing of the fuel line is causing the fuel to boil it's would be a shame.Quote:

Vapor lock. That´s the word, mate! :)
Porter on comms thinks its the fuel expanding in the tank and a safety sensor cutting it off.

Ott thinks cleaning could be worse this afternoon and guys at the back could capitalise
Tänak only 7 secs faster than this morning compared to Neuville and Ogier who were 15 and 16 secs faster
Ha wink from Meeke !
Meeke. :)
"At the start of the ES3, I pass the 1st, the 2nd, then the ratatouille engine.It is known on the WRC, there is a mandatory safety valve to block the arrival of gasoline in case of crash. The problem is that this valve does not always work very well, because of the heat in this case in my opinion, so we have a very small fuel supply and the car is traveling at 20 km / h. speed during a big part of the stage, we say that it's dead and that we would be better at the pool ", analyzed the unlucky Loeb at our microphone.
"It's not a real audience this afternoon so we have to look at whether we know how to fix it, the motivation is not the same, the stakes either, they are busy watching so that this problem does not happen any more. we, at Dani's and Thierry's, "he concluded.
