Mega time

Lets wait and see what happens if one of the top 3 gets more than 20 sec gap to the car infront
Great fight between Citröen and Škoda in the RC2 but Toyota has been a disappointment for me.
Yep Toyota isnt living up to the hype yet
Agreed. It’s seems Pretty slow at the moment
I would say it's not the car, but drivers..
None of them are top3 fast guys.. Pajari is, but on gravel..
To me it seems the car is pretty raw in terms of setup, all the drivers are quite struggling. You could expect that from Pajari and Solans, after all they have 1 Monte start combined, but it feels like Lefebvre should be going much faster, yet he talks about changing the setup for the third time already I believe.
Well they have all season to improve it no? I’m aware they’re limited in jokers but still it’s not like they can’t get better through the year.Quote:

I get the impression from the commentary that Evans has been saving soft tyres less than Neuville, so you would expect Neuville to have an advantage later. But that's just from a few words by the commentators. And I've no idea about Ogier or Tanak.
Seems Toyota Rally2 car hasn´t got the power... does anyone have data of engine?
Is this one of the biggest disppointments? Remember Pajari saying in the end of 1st stage..."at least, now we know the car is as fast as the others" or smth like that telling what´s been the internal discussion before comparison with Skodas and Citroens...
Tänak has saved the most of softs out of them. He used yesterday and Thursday more super softs than others. Evans, Ogier and Neuville have had same tyre choice all the time as far as I remember. Evans has used softs most of them. I think he didn’t use super soft at all during past daysQuote:

Pajari is not tarmac specialist, he is not collecting points - the rally is for gaining milage for himself and for the car.
The level with Ralyl2 top4 is so on the limit high, and they are fighting for positions and for every 10th of seconds.
Fourmaux not on pace today for some reason
He told it. Big gap before him and big gap behind him...Quote:
