Evans lost a lot.

Toyota now having issues. So its not only Ford/Hyundai

Now it got interesting again!

Small issues with the car, according to Evans at the stage end.

Lets see If Evans will find some pace or Neuville and Ogier will get away

Solberg suspension trouble?

Puncture for Solberg? Very weirg movements of the car.

EDIT: RL puncture.

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...

---

Could it be that theres a reason noone else is running 3 cylinder engines... It seems like a really poor choice to me

Evans was good only on first stage. Rossel again beaten by Gryazin.

Pajari driving slowly as well.

EDIT: RR puncture.

I was thinking this morning "I can't remember any punctures so far". Which was very weird for a former Meeke fan...

I wondered for a moment "Is he even in stage mode?"

But, perfectly sensible to go slow and protect the car, when he's not here for points.

Big battles for podium in WRC and WRC2.

Ogier and Neuville both took chunks of time in stages where conditions changed since passage gravel crews. Big mental game going on. Loving it so far. I think next stage decides the rally. After that sprint of 3 stages with equal conditions.

I'll never understand what value this Pirelli Super Mario is supposed to bring to the broadcast...

it's value for Pirelli not for the broadcast

I'm kinda impressed with munster so far. Especially compared to mikkelsen. Let's hope he can keep it on the road.

Yes. One wonders how he'd fare against Katsuta in the same car.

Tanak wrenching as usual 🤣

Some leak on Mikkelsen's car, left front

Great, now rally tv died. Why am I paying for this shit

Working here atm (11.09)

I liked how they showed the pre stage preparation, good way to get into the atmosphere.

He spends more time fixing/adjusting his car than other drivers

Do you have ANY argumentation to say this kind of stuff? Just stop throwing some *** out as a fact, if it is just your opinion or assumption of something.

maybe he is doing that by team orders, to test different setups for other two drivers.

Meanwhile, that RallyTV service is awful. They need to step up and fix all major issues, otherwise we will stop paying for that. Cast doesn't even work, I mean app does crash all the time, not working at all. Slow and difficult to find, sometimes it just jump on old content automaticaly. I don't know why is this still the issue in 2024, since introduction of AllLive thing.

Its anecdotal. Just from what i've seen on broadcasts. It's not like it's a bad thing

This was my impression from the testing videos, it doesn't have the 'violence' of the Skoda engine. They claimed the torque is good, but maybe it doesn't come as low or as wide spread as the other cars.

Sweden could be better with fewer slow corners, and they certainly have the right drivers for there.

TGR did have a Fabia RS in their workshop and did benchmark testing so i can't imagine it's too far off.

Don't pay attention - some fans are very touchy if you comment their favourite driver in anything but ideal way.

I'm assuming they have same restrictor and same displacement as other. With a 1 cylinder deficit i doubt it revs as quickly. Maybe someone more knowlegable could expand on this

No, it's not about who was the driver or the situation to comment, it's just throwing out opinions and assumptions as facts with the tone "I know it".

But yes, I'm aware that there is the close button in the browser.

Guys you are finnish and estonian, aren't you? :D

Well I decided not to pay anymore. They just cant fix their product

Impressed with Matteo Chatillion in a Renailt rally3, going straight from a Rally5 and leading on Cerny. Well done of the youngster!

I dropped it for this year and took TNT Sport instead, partly for this reason. Reading your comments i'm glad i did.

Same for me. I was thinking Munster will be nowhere near other Rally1 drivers.

Great time for Tänak with the issues still
