Thanks Dim:)

Have to say I really enjoyed that power stage. But now the FIA have a month and a half to get off their backsides before the rule needs changing for Argentina.

It wasn't because Ogier's tactics, it was against FIA trying to ban their own rules,

Cracking stage from Tanak though.

Not the most ideal circumstances for him this rally. Anyway, 10 points in the bag is okay.

The only one so far to extract everything from this new penalty incurring trend is Tänak since Ogier didn't manage to go fastest in Sweden. I get why they are doing it but holy moly was this awful entertainment. Quite agonizing to watch this broadcast.

Hyundai 54 + 30 = 84

Ford 43 + 29 = 72

Citroen 46 + 25 = 71

Toyota 53 + 14 = 67

So Latvala is lead driver. Everybody was concerned but after 3 rallys he is ahead.

What a bad start for toyota though. I think it's a shame that they suffered the same problem as last year. Latvala and Tanak should be angry as Ogier was last year when Fiesta was having reliability problems.

Neuville got two points but Latvala went quicker from his actual start position. Which was one place before Thierry.

I mostly didn't tbh. Most was about who was doing what tactics (in the broadcast as well). Reminds me of the "let someone else pass me to clean the road" tactics from Friday/Saturday of the past.

Yes hope FIA changes rules really fast.

Wonder if tanak was still in a fiesta would that be your view
