first non Hyndai stage win!
... and Toyota got first stage win
Interesting to note that road positions today don't seem to have had much of an impact on performance. What we are seeing is very consistent with what was yesterday.
Still powersteering issues for Oliver. Aaron pulling the handbrake for him.
misery saturday continues for Hyundai
Could do with some training with Rob Wilson or another similar driver. Become more smooth & consistent with his inputs......(plenty of professionals have used him).Quote:

Agree with you there. I think any half decent rally driver would have made the improvements he has if they had the chance he has.Quote:

Sounds like Ott is unhappy with Martin. After the finish he said "do I have to tell you multiple times or what? when I ask..."
he also pointed on the notes today in the morning on the stage he had puncture, said someting to Martin and showed on the notes with his hand
Stage is live but it's just some Neuville highlight on WRC+?
stage started and now also live pics...
@andre olivera You got mail.
all drivers with 6 hard tyres
Gryazin drove to 2nd loop of Friday... but should be att SS13...

Looking back on @AdrienFourmaux
’s high speed accident yesterday and wow, what a crash Flushed face 170kph at the point he left the road…
So I missed SS13 and based on comments here (no comments), nothing happened there ;) Just first stage win for Ogier
Nah just WRC2 turned from comedy to ridiculous levels.
Suninen retired again before stage (maybe for good with engine damage?).
Gryazin went to the start of wrong stage.
Solberg with some issues but he still has 5,5 mins over Huttunen after his two punctures.
So atm Solberg will lead while 10th-ish RC2 and Gryazin will be on podium while 1 hour-ish behind (after timepenalties).
That's worse than rough gravel rallies in WRC2 pro era.
Before the rally some people were argueing that the locals absolutely can not dominate the RC2. Now there is 8 of them in top 12. Just saying.
Not in speed, but in experience, which gave them the advance being high.Quote:

Everyone can drive fast and crash. It's part of the game not to trash it, eh?Quote:

Absolutely not wrong in any way.Quote:

You´d like all of the local heroes to go to Rally Finland then? Maybe they win there as well? :)
IMHO Suninen, Huttunen, Solberg, Gryazin are top drivers and they should not end being beaten like this (with the exception being Solberg who was just unlucky unlike his more experienced colleagues).Quote:

Man, after being in Ypres ten times I dare to say that the only thing they did this year is that they coppied countless fails of many others before them. What we see is an absolutely standard way of how Ypres usually unfolds.Quote:

However the lack of experience was there, as you say. No doubt. That was the point.
