Once more an impressive run by him, especially in this situation. Balls of steel he has.
Wasn't as bad as it sounded. Note that it happened because first car on road (Greensmith I think), changed a wheel and Solberg drove right behind him. Anyway it was two guys making a mistake (maybe some marshall too?).Quote:

No - it happened because they were walking down the stage when nobody should be allowed to. Simple.Quote:

Soldberg was driving not 3 min but 30 seconds behind previous car. Organizer send marshalls immedietly.Quote:

Yes that is what people who know rallying would do, but if the first car is late you don’t have a reference for the second one.Quote:

During the last few rallies their ratings were usually pretty good, but this one is imo quite a mess.
Solberg gets 5/10 cause he "didn't do anything silly" even though he had moments/crashes on every other stage and ended with zero points. This was supposed to be his best rally this season.
Fourmaux also gets 5/10 even though he did finish on a decent spot and has little experience and results on this type of rally.
For me 3-4/10 to Solberg and 6 to 7/10 to Fourmaux.
Other than that mostly small things:
3/10 instead of 2/10 to Breen
10/10 to Rovanpera instead of 9/10 (seen this before multiple times, Rovanpera gets 9/10 when winning both rally and PS)
8/10 to Evans instead of 7/10
5/10 instead of 6/10 to Lappi
Portugal was also 9/10 for Kalle, 30 points, first on the road on dry gravel…
Kalle should be 10/10 absolutely, it's mindblowing how he has been "underrated" by Dirtfish and the kitchen table guy

Looks like Solbergs 5 got changed to 4 in the article.
I can see Dirtfish is doing well - they want people to talk about it and you all do :)

JA
Still struggle to see what the relevance of Estonia is when Finland is next. It’s fairly rough with soft roads and nowhere near as spectacular.
It it moves further to autumn... It would be great mud rallye like Wales was...
Hmmm, maybe it isn’t that spectacular from TV? I can say the stages look amazing if driving trough them myself.Quote:

the teams and drivers seem to really like it. Have only heard good words about it
One example
Rovanperä’s team-mate Esapekka Lappi echoed those thoughts, adding: “It’s one of the coolest events, definitely. You see a lot of people on the stages as well, they are cheering for everyone and loud. And that’s cool. Also, this ceremonial start and finish is some sort of experience…”
It exists because of:Quote:

No way this event survives Ott's retirement from the sport.
Haven't been there but I actually regret not going to Estonia instead of Finland this year
Why is that?Quote:

Seems fair. Never though about it like that.Quote:

In my eyes they have always had different characteristics.
Järveoja's special drawing design helmet was sold for 8000 euros (on auction)
and
Tänak's helmet for 13000 euros today + Tänak added extra 13k.
All the money was donated for charity(children and cancer).
Awesome!
