Some with cold tyres with the delay ?
Greensmith looks like he's being driven by the car. Not so sure he should be in it with confidence so low.
Who has Kalle as winner in the Pickems? :D
Loubet? HELLO?
Edit: Winter tyres must be working
Loubet -3s on Tänak!

Loubet on winter tyres going fast.
Oops Taka spun again.
Nothing new really. Matthew Wilson had some 7th places overall in seasons where he got a lot of 5th and 6th places in rallies.Quote:

Damage doesn't reflect the speed it hit the tree. Such a shame for M Sport.Quote:

Greensmith and Katsuta will be neck and neck this year, in its own class.
he was on 3rd gear just before crashQuote:

Point of impact was near the middle of rear hatch and then pushing against the rear edge of main hoop, which is not where it is not so strong against being impacted.Quote:

Most of the time the ditch is a bitch, but in Teemu's case the luck of one rolled the car. Pity.
Starting to worry about him making the 6pm curfew tomorrow TBH.Quote:

This isn't good enough.
He should be first on the road it will be okQuote:

But I do remember Rautenbach getting a 4th place in Argentina in 2008, so I guess you need to go back to early 2000s to have really strong fields, which is a long time ago.Quote:

better quality

The Krono Xsara was a better car than the 307 though. His absolute top results in 05 came in Cyprus or Acropolis (one of those abrasive, rallies) and the Australia where all top guys retired, Duval won and Rovanperä in the Lancer was 2nd. In 07 Stohl was back to that pace again.Quote:

Obviously the huge difference is that Wilson was just an added driver who didn't really take the seat from anyone at all. A bit like Katsuta in the 4th Toyota.
Anyway, my point was, that while the quality overall is a bit "meh" in 2021. It's not that much different from some of the late-mid 00's.
From what I remember, Wilson's pace wasn't that far from top. Greensmith much slower, I think.Quote:

I don't have a problem with Greensmith being a pay driver or a gentleman driver, but the thing is that he and his fans believe he'll be a top driver one day...
Great day from Kalle, and good pace from Loubet. Katsuta also had decent pace, but made mistakes on both stages.
Also a big what if from Suninen. That crash was big, kinda scary. Maybe lucky to hit the tree with rear with a big "cushion". But at least the car has potential with the new updates!
It seems there were some different tire choices in Rally2 on SS2.
Gryazin and Mikkelsen were on slicks (said so at the end), Formaux and Solberg probably on snow or wet (judging by first split).
You quoted me, but I didn't say that :DQuote:

Even when he got 4th, the top three was separated by 45 seconds, he was 8 min behind 3rd.
He was a safe pair of hands though. Not much mistakes by him.
From their perspective it was unacceptable with him crashing out so early (at all maybe....). Like Millener said the team fought for just entering the rally. So it must be frustrating for him...Quote:

Well, wait for the rally to finish. Greensmith ~1.5 min away from top time after 2 stages.Quote:

Kidding aside... it was an a complete accident but I actualy did watch the SS1 in a snowy forest. Sadly for the SS2 I would need a self driving car...
