Starting order is decided after SS2, so they can go fast again in SS3Quote:

oh...lets see then.
Novikov not so fast till now and no comments at vysledky.Have he got any problem?
Quite good times from the Minis with Rantanen, Sordo and Meeke :)
Great ...Good with to really fast drivers with the R4 cars. Will be a good test of strength of the R4 against S2000/PwrcQuote:

Rantanen off, big time apparently
Rantanen out! Big crash! This is reported through YLE rallyradio
Times mean almost nothing at the moment, apart from against competitors running very close on the road and even then only if they are not playing tactics.
Rantanen BIG off according to finnish rally radio.
indeed....Quote:

Hearing the interview with the driver at stage end i don’t think it is Novikov that is driving the car…Quote:

Ketomaa slowed down as well.....bah tactics...no chance for the citroens to win now....even hirvonen has a good chance now to be ahead of them by the end of the rally.
Rantanen had very late 2nd split before crash at 9sec+ Maybe flat tyre before crash?
Nooo Rantanen :(
I'm not ashamed to say I was unsure as to Ketomaa's pace compared to the top WRC drivers, but I'm delighted to be proven wrong - its been astounding from him. Tanak and Rantanen also appeared super-human on SS1 but very sad to see Rantanen off...hope the crew is OK.
Both Minis showing good speed too - already showing much more potential than the Suzukis, Hyundais and even Subarus of recent years.
Hope Mikkelsen and Lindroos can show more pace if VW let them off the leash, although of course both drivers have slightly worse road positions. 35s slower than Tanak on SS1 is pretty slow though tbh.
No time for Rantanen in SS2 :s
Yes.Quote:

Joke comes from FIA. I don't understand why they cannot take the reverse order in use immediately.
its unfair to changce the rules mid-season to be honest but next year they must do something.Quote:

Mikkelsen sure knows how to follow team orders. He showed it here in the azores two weeks ago. And he might benefict from that.

Mikko's car after SS2, no right rear brake calliper now
I don't think it would be that unfair. Somehow I have the feeling that Citroens would still win and Fords would follow. :)
yes, but it would still be unfiar no matter if the trend continues...
Works in F1 lololQuote:
