Is this Dakar or WRC??
Evans also having the same problem, i suspect a problem for Neuville too
Meeke could be slowed down by Hänninens dust. Getting close.
Will Ogier pay a price for ignoring the engine alarms that his team-mates slowed for...
Meeke could get held up here ffs

this rally will be Fords nightmare! teams will get a lot of useful data from here
for every engine running continuously at 120 degrees there are high possibilities to fail.Quote:

i understood that with Ogier it wasnt such a big problem as for Tänak and Evans
So his usual luck then?Quote:

Happens too often for just luck...Quote:

It annoys me so much when Ogier pretends to be humble by claiming he's not comfortable, he had poor preparation and shit. It's just an effort to impress people. He's not fooling anyone.

Tänak just 0.3 down from Ogier now
