Some noisy noise in a transmission have an effect?

Another great stage for Tänak. Pity about that puncture yesterday, would've had a proper battle today.

Backed off and went for points and experience rather than a podium.

Yes I have done some rallies, over 300 and still counting so I do know a little bit about this sport.

The fact he had 2 punctures speaks for itself - he is trying.

at 12:49 - SS14: Østberg –
Drama for the Norwegian and his co-driver, Ole Floene. "It's okay. It's very slippery and I have absolutely no grip. I think Ole has been bitten by a snake, as well."

Meeke is just doing this rally because he got the nod to do it, he was never going to set pace at this rally with his road position anyway. I think he's doing pretty well in 5th and that's good for 2017.

You’re right. Neither Meeke should be criticized on this rally and neither Ogier on all the others events he was undermined by a stupid rule created to slow him down.

Let’s hope FIA will get a sensible solution for the start order issue, in order to see all these great drivers focused on what really matters: being fast.

Btw, what happened to Pryce? He was doing nice times in a close battle with Aansen for 5th (and best non Skoda), but now he’s over 3m behind.

Sat 14:20 - SS15: WRC 2 Pryce –
The Welshman has dropped time this afternoon after driving with no power steering for the last three stages. He's tried to fix it but to no avail. He remains sixth overall.

In rallying it's almost impossible, someone always benefits from the starting order.

Never seems to have much luck in R5s doesn't Osian; had a very frustrated looking David Bogie stuck behind him near the end of Dyfi.

Looking forward to seeing him get a few shots in the DMack R5 next year, he's clearly got some pace.

What's up with Latvala by the way, is there any reason he's so far down or just a continuation of his current slump?

ad Latvala, problem with transmissions (I believe that broken driveshaft) at SS7 and therefore also at SS8, where he hadn´t 4WD

Is there any truth in the snake story? Pretty creepy if true!

Lol, Tänak at press conf

The more slippy the roads the more I started to push and we managed to get some time back but sometimes Seb is a bit of a pain in the ass - the more you push him the faster he starts to go and he's quite good at driving fast. What can I say?

I don't get how they manage to make these so little interesting, when it's this dull they could at least make a proper man made jump and watersplash. Something like Margam park and Chatsworth is ok

The British are the masters of autism when it comes to safety. You can see it in here in the forum even the fans justify things like Bogey times and other stupid retarded rules for legless dogs.

They just cannot help it, the British are problem solvers but also dead stupid from birth so they will find a solution to the problem but its going to be a stupid one, on the contrary the southern europeans are smart but they do not solve the problem so they come up with brilliant solutions but the problem remains.
