yes, there would be time for one or two more special stsages on the way back to monte carlo. but i guess, they don't want to delay the itinerary for the super special if something happens.Quote:

Delay for 15 minutes
And what is this Saturday? Only WRC can shoot himself to the foot
It is because moving whole circus from Gap to Monaco and evening (for me stupid) Monaco SSS. Because of this stage, whole afternoon of rallying is sacrificied...Quote:

For sure these conditions will get faster and faster with each car
Oliver again in a good place but he has been fastest on the snow and ice anyway this week, winning in double figures others
Utter stupidity, but what else is new? Once in 8 (I do recall 2018 being as close to as these conditions as now) years we have this and no afternoon….Quote:

Ogier going for the win..
Oliver actually one of the slowest. Very weird
Ok he has a margin but still
hmm. what do you guys think? It looks odd to me. they'd need better tires for these conditions. they're sometimes just crawling around. wasn't there a tire in the IRC time with a cut-out stripe in the middle?! ...for so much snow and ice, it looks kind of strange.
imagine six special stages with snow and ice using these tires, or snowfall during the day. they have to cancel the special stages because they can't get through. don't get me wrong, I love these conditions, these pictures, but they'd need better tires for this...
With this kind of loss the margin goes away quickly.Quote:

The guy doesn’t progress at all. Going backwards even
Amazing to be 1:07 slower than Taka with similar starting position.Quote:

Yohan with the fastest time while he’s still ill and had a puncture to carry for the last 5 kilometres, not too bad, shame about that mistake on Thursday.
It seems Lancia can be satisfied with their debut. Let's see how they compare on gravel, but here they have the speed.
Watching SS10, I swear to god I would be on the same tempo with my car on proper Continental road legal studs.
They don't use the same tyres in Sweden, aren't they?
Could you imagine what kind of sick people are involved in our beloved sport?Quote:

No, sweden they have proper studs, like 7-8 mmQuote:

I also think is it time for Pajari to some speed in all different conditions. In 2024 he was a direct comparison to Solberg and won the WRC2 title, also he has had already on complete season in the Rally1 car.
On the other hand, Pajari never liked Monte and was not super fast there...
