"It's nice. These conditions are quite unique and it's definitely something special to doing 200kph in the woods in the pitch dark!
"I had a very good start position and I don't think I took the full benefit. On the second one, I think I tried a bit too hard and completely lost the studs towards the end.
"Absence makes the heart frow fonder maybe, and I feel a lot more comfortable now that I have a programme and I know what I'm doing."
Correct.Quote:

"It's still very early, so there's no reason yet to think about anything. It's been a typical rollercoaster for Finland - it's very technical with up and down stages.
"The car balance can be better, so there's definitely still things to do. Everything can change tomorrow, we just need to stay focussed and keep pushing."

3x Fiesta's fastest?? That engine still has power....Quote:

Pretty sure you could get your Ford Mondeo up to 220kph down that long straight...Quote:

Kalle's time loss is 15''. Without it he would be very close to Tanak.Quote:

All the Hyundais had lost their aero, but still didn't lose 3 days..

Wow all these conclusions based on 1 straight and 2 stages. Bravo!Quote:

These speeds are from GPS, not the real telemetryQuote:

For sure 2022 is a different story, nothing to do with the Fiesta WRC current form.Quote:

Don't be ignorant and use your head. It's not that difficult to get the point.Quote:

It tells nothing about the engine.
..and Tänak was on the limiter at 184-186kmh for 20 seconds..Quote:

Better gearing?
Kalle's top speed was 10-15kmh higher, but couldn't hold it as long..
What are you 5 yrs old or smth?Quote:

You have automotive engineer explaining things to you and yet you choose to go to full ignore mode. I'm in awe to see such stupidity

You are acting like a child. Gearing is about optimal use of power curve through the rally. The resulting top speed may or may not be of high importance for the team but the most important is power delivery.Quote:

That's what they need to analyse and that is their know-how for the next edition of the event.
So far Tänak is clearly leading, i.e. there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with their choices.
and crash-helmets are to absorb external forces towards human heads to avoid serious damages..Quote:

So you got to this assumption by looking at a top speed data? By this standard a drag race car would be (wait a minute....) the best rally car! :DQuote:
