WRC2... finally !
Where´s Oliver?
Edit: Sorry. My bad... Thought he was ahead of Kajto...
Thank god ERC is on all live, so i get to see more than 5 min of r5 action
Even yesterday he was whinging because Lappi had a slightly better start position, so I don't really care what he complains about.Quote:

Argh! A couple of minutes more and would have seen Oliver.
Because Rally1 cars do the road sweepingQuote:

Hybrid systems seem to be coping very well so far given the conditions.
Tanak
"I think this will be among the most demanding conditions for the hybrid. First, there is the temperature, and then there is the bad compressions and g-forces that the hybrid is normally not so happy about, and we will face all these things together here. It is a good challenge for the hybrid I would say."
Stage win for Tanak ! :)
Wait wait, Solberg has been so far both times faster than Tänak on this one. And first run Solberg was 3rd, second time 2nd, now it's third time...Quote:

Solberg 0.4 slower from Tänak this time. Still mighty impressive with Rally2.
Ridiculous stage
I’m sorry but I wouldn’t mind this rally dropping out again. Didn’t miss it at all
Tanak is the Miki Mouse specialist
So, 4 stage wins for Tänak, with TOTAL length 7.08km (1.12 + 1.12 + 3.53 + 1.30)
From Media Zone interview, Neuville states that he got puncture on SS18.
Yes. Awful rally.Quote:

Not bad eh?

Especially when those cars are occupying positions 6-10.Quote:

Well, maybe it's less boring, but why it is? Because strong ones are punished with not equal condition via crap start position, they don't have practical chance to fight for the win without others having huge dramas.Quote:

Winning 2 of 3 first rallies shows class. He is Monte and Mexico master.
I bet he will go to Croatia also(starting first for the win)
Greemsmith leads WRC2 despite trying new set-ups after little useful testing in the new Fabia...
WRC.com
"The Brit could afford to relax and opted to trial different set-ups on his new car during the afternoon. While the tweaks didn't have the impact he'd hoped for, Greensmith still managed to strengthen his advantage over Fourmaux, ending the day 31.6sec in front going into Sunday's four-stage finale.
With a depleted Rally1 field ahead of him, Greensmith is on track to replicate the sixth-place overall finish he achieved at last year's FORUM8 Rally Japan - his most recent WRC outing.
"It's been okay," he said. "We tried a new set-up and perhaps, in the situation we're in, we didn't really need to try that. It made the afternoon very difficult and I couldn't match the pace I was on yesterday, but we know we can go back to the original set-up tomorrow and the pace will be there again."

Lappi aftermath with Dirtfish...

About Ogier retirement. I agree it’s kinda ridiculous, out of last 6 rallies he has only missed one and that’s Sweden.
It doesn’t feel like a retirement at all to me
Seems the decision came to early and he actually wants still compete
I think he thought he could be competitive at Le Mans and would get a Toyota Hypercar seat but that plan didn't work out so now he's having fun in rally. Not sure that he wants to do a full season, maybe even he isn't sure. In his career he complained a lot about being first on the road, remember that for a while he had to do 2 days as first on the road so maybe now he is getting "revenge" for that doing his favourite rallies from a good start position.Quote:

Lol Tänaks answer
Serderidis went off again?
Strong time by Lindholm on this stage, coming close to Fourmaux
One of the longest stages of the year next. Small chance for Greensmith to get on the podium with rally2 car.
Well, is micro also small? Chance that 3 Rally1 cars retire exists, but is really tiny. They can change punctures as many times they have tires and they are still ahead of Greensmith.Quote:

2,4 secs, hope he gets itQuote:
