Fourmeaux not really fast, but passing in front of Brynildsen in overall classification
This is impressive from Lappi considering he's not driven a wrc2 car in years, and I believe this is first time driving the VW R5?
Yeah and that's exactly where Toyota with their short wheel base should excel.Quote:

Kaur with a good pace. If I remember correctly he was always fast on Estonian national events also.

#ArcticRallyFinland SS4 - Kaihuavaara 1 (12.37 miles)
The shortest and fastest test. A narrow and technical start turns onto a very fast road and then a lake, before a right-hander and rapid middle section. A square-right goes into tree-lined roads lowering the average speed.
One thing is tireware. The question is, maybe Solberg (others as well) overused tires too much with 1st stage, but there is 2 to go.
They said it on WRC+. It was something like Greensmith, Tuohino, Loubet and a 4th driver with 5 tyres, rest with 6. If I remember correctlyQuote:

oh man Ott
Lucky ping-pong escape from Tänak
but took some time back, lol
clearly pushing really hard to match Toyota's speed..
I understand it more as a problem with the accent of Martijn (as a reminder, he is not native french speaking) that they are trying to reduce with intercom settings. So Thierry can understand the pronounciation of the words better.Quote:
