The jump is pointless, no-one want to risk there and damage car
The jump is modified for this year and now they have to brake a lot. Last year it seemed the cars don't even get airborne at all.
This stage, ROVANPERÄ does the sweeping for EVANS, NEUVILLE,etc.
kinda boring day so far, not that i expected to be very interesting
I wonder has any interviewer asked from Ott what is bothering him that he doesn't feel comfortable in the car and can't push. He has said this many times but no info.
Ogier on Sunday drive mode, Suninen massive jump at the end :)
Lots of big rocks everywhere, some punctures this afternoon for sure.
i like this reports https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXvQ...ature=youtu.be
lol at gryazin
Let's check the stats: Since and including stage 7, OTT has won 3 stages and has been out of the top 3 of any stage only once. That's damn consistent over 8 stages. And now he is just 6.6 seconds down on 2nd.Quote:

Yes, but he has the best starting position against all his main rivals (who could realistically beat him with spped) for all these stages except Ogier today and Ogier really pushed on only 1 of these stages where he thrashed everybody.Quote:

Also, looking at the time differences, I would assume if road positions would be reversed, Evans would be beating him by at minimum the same margin Ott is beating him now. Probably bigger.
So in All Live this question was actually asked and the answer was basically that it is because of shortage of kilometers in the car. As Hyundai is a bit different he hasn't learned all the tricks. Probably also what is the best setup for him in this car. I think with more km's, more understanding, setting the car up like he wants, learning the tricks and also development, he should be fine in couple of rallies. Hopefully it is not late then.Quote:

@VeibyErik
I wonder how @OfficialWRC
can continue #RallyMexico when rest of the world is closing boarders? @DirtFishRally
@autosport
Norway airports closes on Monday at 8:00...hurry home boys

One more loop and then wrap it up. Went to Mexico last year. Would be pretty scary to be so far away and not sure if you can get home.
great job again dirtfish!
#Tyre Info - WRC - SS16➡️SS21
Ogier & Evans & Suninen & Greensmith: 4 Michelin LTX Force H4 + 1 Michelin LTX Force M6
Rovanperä: 4 H4 + 2 M6
Tänak & Neuville: 5 H4
not a word about the topic on ALLLIVE so far although you could see Toyota guys packing things
Sunday's loop cancelled.
Here we go... last rallying for a while it seems.
Are they wrapping it up after SS18? Would make sense really.
Shame, but understandable in the global circumstances....kind of incredible we got this far.Quote:

Evans wide on first corner of the stage just like in the morning.... one would think he would learn.
Did Neuville really say his later start this morning was only due to a car issue ?
If Oliver says 1 more time "fantastic" on ALLlive, I switch him off.
It's crazy that the last stage for a long time will be Rock & Rally (what used to be Street Stage Leon before)Quote:
