I wish they had more freedom to cut between what is interesting vs showing the first and final km for each car. Maybe to use split screen or picture in picture could be an answer.

AFAIK it's a technical limitation. The cars have wireless transmitters with receivers in an aeroplane flying over the stage. The plane has only a certain range where it can receive a signal, and it usually doesn't cover the whole stage. Thus they can only receive signals from a certain area in the stage. But I don't know how and what they did in 2011.

Not sure if his pacenotes refer to the gear he should be in, but I’m pretty sure that corner was called as a 3 and he was in 6th.
If the above is correct (and like I said, I’m not 100% sure) then is it possible getting used to new co driver and getting the delivery of the notes more to his liking?
Bloody quick trip into the trees, no matter what the cause and glad they’re ok.

Iirc Evans' pacenotes aren't reflective of the gear he should be in. A 1/2 left is a flat left basically, so a 3 is probably borderline whether 6th/5th gear. I may be wrong though.

Tanaks moment is from exactly same corner as Evans and aso looks very much the same, just a few tens of cms difference on the outcome. (from onboard). Note that Tanak was there before Evans.

Any info which rally it could be?

At least these kinds of moments don't affect his confidence much. I would shit myself halfway through that corner.
