Fourmeaux very cautious, loosing 38 sec, but he has no more spare either does he?
The two highest M-Sport drivers aren't the nominated point scorers.
It's Pirelli, what do you expect?Quote:

Maybe that in 2025, there will be another tyre supplier?Quote:

This is a Rally bar talk but why can't they just bring back tyre mousse (I think it was called that) where when there is a loss in pressure, the tyre will fill up with some chemical and the tyre maintains its function. Too expensive?
Yup been thinking and talking about it the last 2-3 years.Quote:

Everyone is driving not to set up a fast stage time, but to avoid a puncture.
Kalle just a little faster in the stage than Thierry
Expensive and caused even more problems to lower classes who had no mousse tyres as the the cuts were more extreme by those cars who had mousse tyres.Quote:

Rally was intended as endurance sport. Part of the thing is to drive smart enough not to have punctures and not to brake carsQuote:

Breen with no hybrid... :(
No hybrid for Breen
i think Ott is afraid to damage the raditor, he doesnt have the grill and front splitter
Loosing a lot tough, 1.35.9 lost

Tune for Tanak at Hyundai.... :rolleyes:
Rear left puncture
Ogier loosing a lot too
Now it´s about surviving the whole rally. Ott maybe clever here...
