I´ve also seen some Roman Krestas onboards where is similar ´sumppu´ word used in his pacenotes. It mixes very well indeed!!

Roman for sure doesn't have any Finnish word in pacenotes. I will ask Pavel what this was. Here I don't rule it out because Jan could take it from Juho.

It is funny how foreign languages sometimes make it to pacenotes. I guess "sumpuu" is easier to say than the Czech word for narrows?

Like Czech seems to have no single word for rolled and instead use "sel pre strechu"(?) - floor over roof :D

Here they use some french words too, sometimes even english.

"Narrows" in Czech is very simple - "zúží" or someone uses "do úzka".

"Šel přes střechu" is exactly translated "went over the roof". There is a way to say it shorter but it is not nice and it's less used - "převrátil se" = "overturned".

But sometimes they use foreign words. Like Valoušek in his very complex pacenotes. He uses Czech words levá/pravá (means left/right) for turns and English words "left/right" for side of the road where to keep himself. It is good because You can't mix it when each is called in different language. Than he also uses tornante and tornantino for different hairpins. These are Italian words which he learned from his former co-driver Pier Scalvini.

But it's off topic :)

Harry Hunt retired after finish of last stage with broken fuel pump. For Andreas Mikkelsen it was a damaged electric plug.

It is really sumppu, we were talking about it on night afterparty :)

Shame the battle ended like that but kudos to both drivers for keeping up a relentless pace throughout the rally without errors and also to Skoda for no team orders!

---

Jan didnt have any information in the car, he was doing flat-out, same as in first round on this stage.

Ok, but he said at the stopline he had heard Andreas had problems. Maybe he meant he literally heard the engine was sick as they were waiting at the startline?

His problem is the inactivity the last two years, but even so, I hope Luis could be in the pace...

Regards from Gran Canaria.

I talked about Luis Monzon speed last day 7 and as you have seen, I was not wrong...

He is for sure the best canary rally driver ever...
