Can't see the onboards myself atm, but from what you say it could have been caused by running his car lower than others again? I recall the same thing being the cause for several of his DNF's with Toyota.Quote:

Maybe. It’s a fast place and it’s only for a second or less so hard to judge.Quote:

Hyundai have to enter one of Neuville/Tanak to get manu points tomorrow. But they can even drive in road mode and just get to finish and get 6 or 8 points.

Watching this video, I think it'd be cool to have a proper mixed rally again, with both tarmac and gravel in the same loop.
Not sure what you mean. Mixed surface rallies were banned from WRC from 1997 to 2009 and before that servicing was more free, so you rarely had to drive on tarmac with gravel tyres. And even in those days, Sanremo and Catalunya had distinct tarmac and gravel loops. Actually even Portugal had distinct tarmac loops, but sometimes just had some tarmac stages or sections within the "gravel loops".Quote:

Adamo:
“Tomorrow, Sordo will win the rally. More of this s*** there cannot be. This car is the f****** fastest here and the fastest car has to win.”

From the vid I see it more as a technical failure than Tänak screwing it up
do we have Hyundais statement?Quote:

a bit indeed :D
I mean like Cyprus had in WRC and IRC.Quote:

so.. seems like not his fault, except no stopping before or goint till the end of the stage..
no words needed

Could be that some rock/stone in line damaged things beforehand. But surely doesn't have to be Tanaks fault.
I also recall FX interview I heard last week "rally drivers never hit anything" ( after Latvala came to stage end with 3 wheels).
Looks like Neuville does really drive in road mode as I predicted yesterday.
Tänak has changed to open helmet
Power stage spec :DQuote:

All in for power stage
seems that Katsuta had a call not to fight with Ogier..
There is some hope for stagewin for Fourmaux
Tänak with 4 tires again. All-in for powerstage.
What, Evans 7.5 sec up with 1st split? The statement.
Byeeee, Evans full attack! 7.5s ahead
you can see he is giving everything, all over the place and a lot of work with steering
E: it got so boring now, its just a full cruise fest from everyone till PS,
Basically there is nothing to decide anymore, just waiting for power-stage.
Gryazin time puts Evans "domination" in context - seems that Evans was only WRC driver who actually pushed.
Sordo not following Adamo's instructions (to overtake Evans). Loosing to much on the first sunday's stage....
Sunday has become a save ryres for powerstage day.
To bad really, take away good fights tha could have been.
5 points is way too muvh for a PS win in 3 classes. That means almost everyone on the list will try to keep staus quo on the rally, to fight for "easy" PS poimts.
Something needs to be done about this!
Your suggestion would be?Quote:

fresh tyres for PS is a idea that i totally support.
Tänak doesnt want to save tyres too much? Faster than Kalle
Without PowerStage it could be even worse. Nothing to do, if 3 of 6 top drivers are out of fights.
For example - today there is excitement, can any M-Sport driver get stage-win as others are not pushing at all :)
Agree fully.Quote:
