Tänak admitting he is on the edge and can’t beat the Toyotas in media zone
Seem to recall Evans having what he felt was a defining PET test in Finland last yea, viz-a-viz set-up. Wondering whether those lessons are being to very good use here! Currently, he is no doubt a step up on everyone!
And Tänak got 10sec penalty for not driving in EV mode somewhere.
No kidding? Ouch, home crowd isn't going to like that.Quote:

Still early days in the rally I know, but Toyota's domination is starting to take it's toll, nothing against the rally or the competitors, it just feels like we've seen this situation a few times before this season. I can't stress this enough, I hope Hyundai get their parts together for 2023, so we'll have some competition, also I hope Tänak leaves them for M-Sport or something. I'm aware I'm stating the obvious, it's just a shame we have these (still) magnificent cars yet we're not enjoying them to the full extent, like we did back in 2017.
What a stupid mistake from Ott
It’s over now
Its still a long way to go. If it starts raining everything can happen.Quote:

Shame for Breen. This was the rally where he could have showed his real potential.
Paddon out with mechanical problems.
