Ogier complaining about the rear - surprise surprise
Rovanperä 4,7s slower than Mikkelsen
Mads seems to be in trouble and is loosing a lot of time
before the rally, seeing the pictures and stuff and hearing drivers comments...i was sure they all will enjoy it and its a pure racing rally.
but now you can see from their faces and read from their comments that no one is enjoying it at the moment. conditions so tough
Quite bad job from the director who didn't show footage of Meeke's car at the stop control. Instead we saw only incar footage. Or maybe it was a technical flaw?
Well they didnt show it bcs Meeke was right after Ogier. They changed camera to inside view after Ogier left but actualy the cameraman did film Meekes car outside.
Mads was having a good stage something has happened towards the end. Annoying as that battle was intriguing
Ostberg now 38,6s behind Rovanperä
Yes, at this moment the director should have changed to the camera filming Meeke's damaged car...Quote:

Mikkelsen's ditch moment or Evans' off was also missed.
I wonder if Meeke's onboard will be present in the upload tomorrow.
Lets see if we get Meekes car pic from twitter soon
For sure we'll see that at least in the highlight reel.Quote:

Probably low signal on the stageQuote:

So this first stage of the day was about as slow as El Puma, but the two next ones should be a bit faster.
nothing major
Ostberg's been stationery on the road section for a long time.
Such a shame about Mads
Ostberg is still at last stage finish. Looks like repairing something
Sat 09:02 - Stage info: SS8
Maria Las Cruces 1, 23.09km Maria Las Cruces runs south to north along the Nahuelbuta mountain range at one of the highest points of the Arauco area. The road is wide for most of the way with plenty of fast bends and jumps before it becomes straighter near the finish. It’s uphill from start to finish and little tree cover means crews can see the challenge ahead. A drivers’ dream!
My analysis:Quote:

At 13.6 km there is a crest which could turn into a sideways jump. A chicane like series of tight bends appears at 14.5 km. Towards the end there are some very fast sections in the area where trees are cut down.
Ostberg also on move now
3min between cars now.
very nice stage!
Even Bertelli said its best of the rally atm :DQuote:

Mikkelsen puncture or thats his speed ?
That explains why Tänak was after Greensmoth on road section. Probaly put changed for new ones.
