will a r5 car be on podium? :D
Yeah Argentina 2017 I think. But it wasn't a real off. Also he had a minor off in Finland 2017, dipped the rear in a ditch in Päijälä in a corner where dozens of cars crash every year.Quote:

5.9s faster on SPL2. Evans again making it clear on Sunday's first stage
11s @ finish, 33.7 lead over Neuville now.
Good that we get to see the only real fight there is... The WRC2 lead with 1,5s...
Not showing WRC2 at all! Great job by WRC+
They always have to prepare half an hour in advance for tv stages.
It’s always the same and always people complain like it never happened before
When something.is bad and stays bad surely it should just not be accepted.
Have they ever listened us?Quote:

That C3 R5 hasn't completed many stages without issues..
Edit: puncture, poor Mads
Mads slightly angry :eek:
Not impressed by the "expert commentators" unable to see a clear puncture with details cameras views to it..
This "TBT willage team" is it paid by Citröen to run theire rallyefforts?
Seems they are not at the right level.

How is a puncture the fault of the team??Quote:

got to love Mads.. that game from the bottom of his heart :)
It's Citroen in terms of car development, he has the highest level of development in Rally2 besides Hyundai. (fresh development parts between Portugal and Sardinia..not even WRC teams did that, "test rally" in Hungary before Croatia and then new dampers developed for Croatia after...).Quote:

"Daily running"/mechanics of the team is something else though. No idea about the level.
Don't play poker with the man!Quote:

Maybe the last one wasn't theire fault, but brakepads, skidplates, brakehoses, hubs etc, its been lots of this small shit-things this season.Quote:

17sec to go for Mads... he cut 7.9sec on prev. stage to Huttunen and now Lopez cut 7.1sec on this stage = 15sec . So it's doable gap. It will be quite a run for next two stages for Mads... Fight goes on!
Mads kept it nicely after the finish line and nursed car nicely. I think a lot of drivers are holding this kind of reactions back and maybe it should not be streamed then - but this IS rally. He made hard work to fight back previous loss, reached that goal and it all was taken away again with puncture. He let the emotions out, maybe should just skip the stage end interview part but personally I don't mind - if stage end interview is meant to get pure emotion and reaction, you got it. If you don't like it, don't go and ask or watch. Simple as that.
And Bulacia's interviews are like high-school esseys, with the same structure and organized. Some calm description + "Thank you" at the end. Nice own style :)
Will it start to rain for some late drama?
High five for Mads finally being the first driver to have the balls to say it loud about pirelli.
With Mads it's like this with almost every team. (C3, Fiesta in Prokops team before that...).Quote:

He has some hope to catch up, especially if it starts to rain. Question is if he will risk it and also if he took 6 tires or 5 today.
The Rally2 tires are not the same as WRC ones and have been used for a few years.Quote:

OK, Now I don't understand why they cut it short when there is so long before the power stage
