I find this format with several huge stages and a lot of useless superspecials unfortunate and very boring for spectators and internet audience. Nice that they tried something else than others but I don't think it worked.

Any link to live stream of PowerStage?
I think they should go back to the 2014 starting position rule. We would have had a closer fight between JM and Seb...
106 pages notes had Ingrassia just for ss20.
usually the close fight lasts for 2-3 stages, then latvala breaks.Quote:

Sun 12:03 - SS21: Two-minute delay
One of the safety cars has been held up in stage. New start time: 1210hrs
Sun 11:55 - Stage info: SS21
Agua Zarca Power Stage, 16.47km. The final live TV Power Stage is a repeat of Saturday afternoon's test, itself a shorter version of the Ibarrilla stage and finishing at the famous wigwams. It is littered with big dips and compressions and contains a blisteringly fast section in which drivers will be flat out for almost 2km before negotiating a new purpose-built jump alongside the wigwams just before the finish.
God, they're putting the interviews also now. And they are the same as yesterday! For god sakes they must have a problem with their mental health indeed.
what an horrible driving style from Camilli, i holded my breath every corner
Bertelli's was noticeable: too much ice on Monte, too much snow in Sweden, now we have proper rally.Quote:

Paddon is breaking the charts down, and of course we don't see it live
Gongratulations to Tsuninen! Perfect drive.
Slowstberg is now second in championship

Taken to hospital for routine examinations, Neuville and co-driver Nicolas Gilsoul are free. "It is going well. We did a check-up yesterday because I was not feeling very well out of the car.

After the explanation, the feeling: "The feeling is simple at this point: we have to see if the two go well this is clearly a frustration, try to understand This would not have happened but it '.. happened. it's an incident. I was hoping to give points to the manufacturer. it was my fault, this will not happen again. I think this is a good lesson for me. I'll learn from that. No point here but the season continues. We saw that the car was competitive. for us, the motivation is there. "

Ogier is annihilating the others again :D
As far as the coverage goes, those embarassing skits with the drivers, Desborough's annoying rattle... just bad, bad, bad.
god he won't shut up...
And gongrats to J-M and Miikka too!!
Hana Latvala!!!!
I hate Jon Desborough.
Watching live stages with no sound is the only way... make car noises in my head !
I've decided the best way to watch the live stages is muted, with rally radio for audio.
ive been always doing it, much betterQuote:

Congrats to Latavala and Anttila. Didn’t manage to follow but seems it was another breathtaking WRC event…
Btw, just saw a pic from Guerra flying experience. Any video link?
The power stage reminded me what we were missing the whole rally, Ogier at its best. Doesn't someone thinks the new rules are sacrificing the whole spectacle?Quote:

Who're the 2nd & 3rd..?
Ogier was giving his best the whole rally, its just that it was only good enough for second this time. What you saw on the power stage that was missing the rest of the rally was just him winning the stage, and Latvala being careful taking no risks.Quote:

That's not what I meant. This is the whole problem, we see him doing his best and the result is "as good as for 2nd place", going all over the place due to the lack of traction. How good is that for the spectacle?Quote:

For me (if you listened to the drivers after PS) Ostberg did a very good rally. He pushed hard the rally through. If you take a look at the status of cars, VW is for sure the fastest and most reliable of them all. But here comes why Ostberg did his homework - the Fiesta now is the slowest. You can see that the Hyundai now has developed more equal to VW (in raw speed) than to Fiesta. I think it explains why Sordo and also Paddon is doing very good times. Not that they are slow drivers, but just that they have that little extra which lacking Ostbergs car.
Sordo given 2 minute penalty. Sordo used 29 tyres where the limit is 28. News from service park here in Mexico.
How is that a problem? Its great for the spectacle seeing drivers pushing hard to try and overcome adversity. Do you say the same thing on tarmac rallies when the cars down the order are 'going all over the place' due to the lead cars dragging mud onto the road? Or when everyone after the first 5 cars was battling through ruts in Poland?Quote:
