[WRC] Rally Argentina - 26/29 April 2018

Seb is dominating & 1st on the road! Shame that Elfyn´s last year great performance was with the help of superior Dmack. No speed at all with the Michelin :(

Drivers are complaining of hanging dust. The stages are dry and there's not much of a breeze out there at the moment, that's reducing visibility quite a bit for the cars further down the order.

And the WRC2 runs with 1 min gaps only...

Yes it has been problema several years, specially in stages like today morning where thick vegetation and do not allow the wind to fly the dust away. Recently we had many years with rainy conditions, but dust is a problem. I have suffered it from spectator point of view many times. Higher stages like el condor are easy for the wind.
Anyhow tomorrow and Sunday there is some rain expected

Today stage is more soft, not much to loose, specially at the morning with nigh dump making a thin wet surface. Dust is more problem than traction

Rovanperä?

Tanak quite lucky. Could've easily broken his suspension etc
