To me it looked like the problem caused the off, but of course it could be the other way round.
Loubet Pierre-Louis
"Under braking, the car wouldn't turn at all. I don't know."
Same type failure as Huttunen in Jyväskylä ? Suddenly the powersteering failed and he nearly went off before a junction but managed to save itQuote:

Kalle is fighting for 2nd place in one of his least favourite rallies... I struggle to think there will be a challenge this season.
Moreover he drives a Toyota and whoever doesn't drive one will have to face way more gremlins.
Never leave your gear in an escape road...Quote:

Loubet with snow? Keep the softs supersofts for tomorrow/Sunday,because he will be slow due to power steering probably.So doesnt matter and prefers to burn the snow ones that he will not use.
Tanak again only 5?
Pierre-Louis Loubet @PL_Loubet
We lost the power steering in SS5. We don't know yet if it was before or after our little mistake. It's a shame because we had a good pace this morning.
Now, 3 stages to go without power steering. We will try.
It´s a pity that there is no Loeb this year. With Ogier they are simply the best on these roads and no more fighting if Ogier is able to survive without the puncture.
Not bad Tänak. It’s coming slowly
Equal with Neuville who says he can not do much more
Jeez Toyota just seems on another level car again. 1-2-3-4 on this stage
Not that I’m surprised
"The Yaris has undergone a series of technical tweaks, including engine upgrades to improve the delivery of both power and torque.'Quote:

Ogier has confirmed the hybrid issue got the old reboot from a man with his laptop. Seems to be working for the moment, but there's doubts it will work for the whole afternoon
Sordo is baffled why he is so slow
Loubet will need some physio on his arms tonight.
EP emo interviews are getting old
He has also now Red-Bull backing him, just need to drink more of it :)Quote:

Lappi Esapekka - Ferm Janne
"The car is feeling better and better all the time."
So far Toyota is dominating quite clearly - from all the stages at least 1-2.
Best non-Toyota - stage, driver, position, loss per km:
* SS1, Neuville, 3., 0.40s/km
* SS2, Tänak, 3., 0.27s/km
* SS3, Neuville, 4., 0.43s/km
* SS4, Neuville, 3., 0.25s/km
* SS5, Neuville, 3., 0.31s/km
* SS6, Neuville, 5., 0.23s/km

But if you take Ogier out of the results ?Quote:
