Interesting comment from El Maestro "tomorrow will be opposite, it might be better to be behind"...
Loeb not sure if later starting will be good tomorrow.
He gained a place no? Most drivers would be happy with that.Quote:

Keeping your head cool is also an important aspect of being a rally driver. Latvala would have been champion a long time ago if he had that ability.
He mentioned if it rains but the forecast is dry?
yeah he gained but was also ahead of Ogier. So that engine stall almost drop him both places
Yes Teemu - not starting first tomorrow at least.
doesn't matter a thing for him at that pace.. starting first or last :DQuote:

SPL4 Ostberg and Rovanperä same time
Ostberg +0,8s to Kalle and overall +2,7s. Nice one
Neuville just 2,4s behind Latvala but that SS2 red flag case not end yet. Hope they wont give time back to him...

Indeed, first time in WRC2 Pro we have a really nice batlle ongoing, but unfortunately we cann't see that since there is some coffee break reason to show the map.Quote:

Didn't Neuvilles time assessment say it was based on performance so far and they would compare how he does on the 2nd running? Where he was 17.6s off 1st? So shouldn't they adjust his time to be worse?
Looking forward to tomorrow, if he can keep that last stage pace throughout he'll be well in the podium battles.Quote:

You guys have a pretty short memory.. yes he is pretty bad here but Mikkelsen finished second in Argentina just a couple of weeks ago.
What? They are that short of on board cameras?Quote:

EDIT: The Highlight reel has onboard footage from Østberg, maybe the transmitter wasn't just working since he wasn't shown on All Live. Pedro Heller also had an onboard camera.
So, what do we think about running order on the remainder of this rally?
Will it be an advantage to go early or late, overall?
Yesterday there were a lot of drivers who were uncomfortable with the conditions, talking about lack of confidence, and so on. Loeb started badly, but somehow got it together after lunch and he's put in good times ever since. Whatever he did, to his car or his head, it's working. I guess that's why he has the record he has...
How does the nature of today's stages differ from yesterday?
more fast and flowing
He always gets faster as the rally progresses when he's comfortable. Dude is a calculated mofo and could be deadly once he figures the Hyundai out. Something Andreas still can't do and Neuville took yearsQuote:

Loeb was the slowest Hyundai in 2 out of his 3 starts so far (and shared in Monte) and didn't get any faster on saturday /sunday in any of his 3 starts.Quote:

Since you like to pick Mikkelsen out he led in the Hyundai on his first rally and led 2 out of first 3 starts. Concistency is another matter.
Only the top 3 have real consistency in fighting for podiums for the last year, and that's if we discount Ogier and Neuville in Finland.
Lol ∆
He was not comfortable with the car... He said that many times. He's getting used to it now, but let's give him a tons or testing and a year and a half like Andreas before we compare
Howcome you don`t get tired of this protective talking? He is in the king series, in a factory car, the same he started in back in 2017 and is not delivering, it is a miracle, in a situation where Hyundai desperately wants one of the titles.
Loeb, in Monte, in his first outing, was 7 and 8 for some time, climbed to 3rd once, finished in 4th. Third Hyundai crashed...
Sweden, struggled, but still, his last outing in a snowy event was 6 years ago? Third Hyundai was promising at some point, although being his home event, the end result and talk weren`t so good...pointswise, OK. Corsica, Loeb failed due to driving error and have to agree, nothing special afterwards, was otherways an interesting event also, with Ogier and Citroen also struggling. In his 4th outing with the i20, first one on gravel, six years later on moist/wet gravel, he was the closest man to Tänak last afternoon, whereas their third car, once again, is 8th.
Come on guys, let's just park that contest. I can be the referee and declare it a no-decision.
They're supposed to have something like 15 kits. Østberg wasn't just shown on All Live at all so maybe the transmitter didn't work.Quote:
