Rautenbach seems to really struggle when the conditions get tricky.
I don't have any report that indicate he had any problem todayQuote:

Nice reply from Vouilloz in this stage. Nice fight for 2nd place...
Vouilloz strikes back. Now Kopecky is 1,2 seconds infront!
After SS 13:
1 K. MEEKE
2 J. KOPECKY +1:05.9
3 N. VOUILLOZ +1:07.1
4 A. ALEN +1:58.2
5 F. LOIX +2:17.8
6 F. PERES +4:12.1
The speed of meeke is really something to watch...he still tops the stage times although he doesn;t have to push....now either he is very fast so his safe pace is too much for the others or he is pushing and he is stupid.
Keep it together Kris, stunning pace!
Wittmann! Is this time correct? GO Franzi!!!
Some strange times now :)
Moura and Wittmann faster than Meeke ??? Are they dreaming ??? :laugh:
eWRC showing them as 7th & 8th which might make more sense.
Yes, it was timing mistake. Hänninen won the stage by 2 seconds from Meeke.
Presume Hanninen's times on eWRC are un-official as he technically retired from the rally yesterday? Still good to see him out again.Quote:

Thanks Mirek, thought so.Quote:

I think Kris himself will still be quick, but many of the IRC drivers are stronger on tarmac than they are on gravel, so....Quote:

Anything mentioned on the radio?
I think that he just took it easy. There's no need to push for him.
Anyway it seems like Conrad had some troubles. He is now much faster and also got 10 second penatly for beying late from service.

Maybe Mirek but 14 secs with 4 stages to go doesn't seem sensible.
Edit - lost some bodywork due to partly flooded stages and some aquaplaning as first on the road so presume reason for time loss.
The weather conditions are better now.
come on kris and paul , :)
is kris in trouble :confused:
Great time for Vouilloz better than yesterday when he was driven with dry conditions....
Just heard from Kris' team. they want him to take it easy for the final few stages. no need to risk anything now. car runing ok.
lets bring it home Kris. good luck
meeke down to 2nd
meeke still leading rally. 47 secs ahead of Kopecky after SS15
sorry im wrong,still think he is 1st :)

Wittmann is always sideways and You know that Lancer is quite a big car for these narrow roads :D

No, due bad surface conditions after this morning heavy rain...Quote:
