Apparently there is fresh snow indeed on the stages
Yes but only 2-3 cm they say
Mikkelsen, Paddon, Ostberg, Breen; let's see what you guys can do

Good morning friends! Finally we are here!
What a day to come! Sitting at home today. Leaving for Hagfors stage tomorrow morning.
First split on Ogier, but WRC+ has no pictures...
Today all my co-workers sharing the room are out of office, so I don't even have to use headphones :DQuote:

First split also completed for Tänak, 3.7 faster than Ogier. That's a massive amount for such a short bit.
Where are the live pictures?? Wtf!!

Pretty sure helicopter can't fly due to the low cloud and snow. If they also use it to relay onboards there won't be any. But on monte they used airplane for that.
Tänak 204km/h on the straight
Why just tell the audience what´s going on. Like: "chopper can´t lift" or something. Much snowing going on btw.
They always use a plane to relay on-boards for live coverage. They should at least tell us what's going onQuote:

Splits died in WRC live centre... only on live maps those are working.
splits are coming nicely in wrc plus
Ogier lost loads of time?
Tänak 12.5 quicker than ogier, lets wait for others now

I wonder if this is on purpose?Quote:

Actually there are three (!) different stagetimes on Latvala. Comparing All Live, WRC+ Maps and EWRC-results. :(Quote:

(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The car feels good but there is a lot of loose snow on the top near the start. On the ice the car feels good. Ogier's lines are everywhere - he's pushing harder than I am.

I totally don't get the over-blown expectations about Suninen. Sure he could get 4-6 but that's about it.
Ostberg 3 rd on split 3
Road is more cleaned up now.
not much snowbanks on this stage
Stunning incar from Ostberg!!
Based on Tänaks comments, it might be that importance of snowbanks is bit overhyped - he hinted in interview that leaning too much on snowbanks slows car down. Could be that he has less experience with real snowbanks, so that when we see them on next stages, maybe finns and norwegians can show us how to properly use them.Quote:

Who's having them? I mean, it's been 6 months since he had a WRC start and it's only his third. We could give all of 2018 for him to learn and any good results will be a bonus.Quote:
