That wasn’t a stone, that was a f***ing boulder, two of them in fact….I’m sorry but I honestly would replace this event with Paraguay for next year, if only for the organizers not paying their debts.

Wtf. What would have the time for Tänak been without spin then

Took over 2 seconds back from Evans with the second half

Kenya isnt the only place with rocks inside of roads which get digged out by cars

Neuville couldnt do anything with it

Yeah speed is there, at least looks encouraging for gravel rallies that are coming up

Can you please ensure that no boulders ever get exposed in Paraguay? This is nothing to do with Safari organisers……

Have you seen the size of it? You’d have to pull it out with force, for it to stick out like that, it’s not Argentina.

So Tänak leading the Sunday with just 0.3 second over Evans at the moment but could have been much more without the spin or reverse he had to do

Exciting afternoon coming

I am thinking "how did you lot get out of bed so early?", but I suppose you're an hour or two ahead of the UK.

Getting up is so easy when there is a rally

Most likely Tanak and Lappi have to service their cars themselves again :D
Neuville broke the car and shorg time to repair..

Yes. You are right. Neuville is 12.3 down

WRC.com just can’t get things right

It used to be so but lately... no. I hate to be the killjoy but lately WRC really doesn't have the same appeal anymore.

Truly - there is separate Super Sunday tab on live timing and the column title is Total Time Sun - yet that column only shows time for the given stage, not total so far for Sunday. Got me fooled for a while.

Almost like previous car helped drag it out when cutting the bend. Gravity can help them roll too.

But if previous car helped drag it, I’m assuming it would’ve taken damage whilst doing so.

I have just seen the replay of Tanak's spin. Rock was more inside of the corner and Tanak started to slide and hit it with the side of the car, moved the rock far to the road, where Neuville hit it..

Looks logic but make two sepparate standings with penalty at SS of TC and SS+1

I’m not sure why it’s complicated.

Thursday-Saturday times include all penalties there.
Sunday times include Sunday penalties.
Also there is full overall which includes everything.

I'm pretty sure they have rocks in South America, Kris Meeke was counting them at the Mexico rally.

Kenya, of course, is a cradle of evolution. The rocks have evolved the ability to teleport into the road.

Somebody gave me this link on the last rally, the right hand column is pretty good for overall Sunday times.

Well I didn't know that they are carring spear wiper blades.

It was right after the stage while they were showig highlights from the stage and ending live

I know that this stage is hard for the cars but 9sec down? This isn't champions pace..

Tänak has the Sunday basically in bag now. Can now take the next stage more easily and push on PS stage

It can be just a difference in willingness to take a risk.

Yeah, we can be philosophical here and say that Neuville is not a champ (so far) because he takes too many risks and Evans is not a champ (so far) because he does not take enough risks.

Kalle doing funday driving..
