Katsuta fined 675€ for speeding in the service park
What a shame that this stage is running ať 9 o clock instead of 7 o clock.. But this could mean that other stages will be affected tooQuote:

Taka all over the place. Hopefully he won't lose a wheel somewhere.
And now Ott overshot...
Oh.. such a mistake from Tanak..
I'm afraid that mistake results in givibg place to Taka
Oh man. Tänak was really lucky there
ATM it doesn't look impossible for all top 4 Toyota at the end.
It will happen
Tänak and Lappi just nowhere with their speed
I am afraid distance will run out before that. Of course, if Lappi hits trouble, everything is possible.Quote:

Monte Carlo vibes strong in here.
Taka playing pinball with the armco :)
Taka was lucky there was a barrier otherwise he would have been in the ditch
But his speed at this rally is a mystery to me. Almost feels like he is cheating somehow
This is absolutely disaster from Tanak, 19 sec behind Katsuta
He's passed caring , there's nothing particularly wrong.Quote:

Please somebody take it away!
Munster crashed...
It benefits to Hiroki Arai (ex-Junior Toyota driver as competitor of Katsuta) who should finish in top 10… with a 2WD Rally4 car.Quote:

Katsutas times are very good - too good for him. I would say maybe he knows some roads by hearth. It helps.Quote:

Toyota - dominating once again with the best car(at least reliability wise) and with a very good lineup who doesn’t do mistakes often (except Taka)
Hyundai - able to take the fight to Toyotas more often but the drivers mistakes (Neuville in Croatia and Japan, Lappi in Mexico and more) and some reliability problems (Portugal, Kenya, Greece) have given the wins to them.
Msport - well, nothing to say here
Steward decision about SS9

And here the thread faded out like dead meat.
Like the whole rally...
Yes, rally was kind of over after SS6. I guess for Toyota team the 1-2-3 was so important to deliver, that Ogier and Rovanperä were quite on the cruise/safe mode. Boring to watch, but smart driving.Quote:

Hopefully it's just my observation.Quote:

Katsuta seemed fast but nobody was pushing when he was. Tanak obvously didn't give 2c if he finished 4th or 6th.
Congratulations to Toyota and Evans. They really had the best team and car this year overall. Also Evans wins another of those "unusual" rallies with difficult conditions and trobule for others.
