thats horrible for evans
And in the dark it is even more difficult
We might see the Rally2 cars winning a lot more stages tomorrow!
Neuville gained just 25s on Evans. Don't think the penalty was wise, if made on purpose.
How's that? They still run after Rally1 cars and if both Ott and Kalle rejoin as expected, leaders will have nicely cleaned road.Quote:

He would have lost 25 being first, so the penalty has already paid off.Quote:

WRC drivers are smarter than that. To have a 40s penalty at one stage to go?!?!
Please wake up guys

It worked for Sainz on the Dakar. And it was a 30minute penalty.Quote:

That is fault of nature, you cannot blame anyone else for that.Quote:

We asked more snow all the years before. Now we complain?
There’s a difference in that and you know it very wellQuote:

I am also saying: stop complaining - this is real rally. If RC2 wins bcs of snowfallls - what is bad with that? I like this mess - smth interesting; i have been my self in the situation where the sky opens and all the potential leaders would fall back far far away due to the rain and mud. I also know the case where the sky closed, dried and 1300 car gets into top 3 of the stage. That is all normal. What would help in this situation - proper 0, 00 and 000 cars with some fast drivers at the wheel.
please dont ruin the rally with those comments. it was the same story in 2018 and many years before
Then We have to make rally to a indoor sport, not for me!Quote:

Amen to that.Quote:

Totally agree and I love the surprise and the drama with the extra snow. Plus its tested even the best drivers and found out Tanak & Rovanpera.
Also remember that its only the 2nd rally of the WRC season and whatever happens here isnt going to decide anything.
People need to stop being so partisan and embrace the fact that rallies like this up unpredictable results. Just because your favourite driver has had a nightmare rally doesnt make it any less of a challenge
EP again with great first split
