Greensmith was a 26 places down the road order and start the stage. If it 2 min gap - there 52min of delay and you allow only 30 min delay into TC. How that was possible?
Meeke Kris - Marshall Sebastian
"I had a big slide and aquaplaned on some mud with the rear so I was a little cautious after that! It's not over yet - there will be a few time differences tonight I hope."
Only one minute long gaps between the cars because 2 minutes were only between WRC Pro (i.e. in this case only one gap between Greensmith's time and Kopecký).Quote:

check now on michelin site Greensmith target start time - 18:59, actual start 19:36. 37min but it's possible if he check into TC on time but stage commander sort out a road order. But still strange situation.Quote:

All in a big mess and seemingly totally unecessary as there was a lot of space to make the stage a bit longer.
red strip will be better solution. To clear a right way and not open-up chicane for laterunnersQuote:

"The Hay bale case"
Yes me Mirek.
My poor bet was on Paddon, so definitely not me.Quote:

Both are due to the delay. They kept to their TV schedule so now they have to fill time before the drivers actually come to the media zone.Quote:

These spectators got a stage stopped at Wales Rally GB today. Please repost! https://t.co/BVCGhgz1jS
AnttiL you were right...Tänak confirmed he had trouble with getting mud away from his windscreen and poor visibilty on the afternoon, said he hopes the designer can make miracles for tomorrow.
Lappi
We will restart tomorrow 👍 #WRC #Rally2 #RallyWalesGB #C3WRC #L4PPI

Meeke again mentioning the "hay bale" case...saying that there were a lot of complaints about him not following roadbook in Argentina and now the 3 guys here didnt follow it too. Says "One rule for all"
Anyone who witnessed his car-handling abilities on the Auto-Glym rally this summer wasn't surprised.Quote:

"The Right way" is rather subjective if it didn't match the roadbook as claimed by Ogier.Quote:

Additionally what we do know is that they were moved by marshalls after Suninen. Therefore Evans, Tidemand and Breen had a much straighter and wider line than all those before, and it also shows in the times as they also beat Tanak and Meeke.
Just make no chicanes and everything's good.
I was in Dyfnant 2 this evening and it was noticeably darker for Breen than Tanak....darkness came quickly.
Was also in Elsi first thing this morning, can’t say I noticed much difference in lightness, was basically full light by time they got to us.
Tanak was clearly pushing in Dyfnant, bit lucky past us as he hit the inside bank on a quick left hander...
Rules say organisers can add barriers or other objects of hinderence if they feel correct route wasn't followed in recce. But I'm also certain this would of been addressed at drivers briefing if that was the caseQuote:

Expect Kalle to overhaul him pretty quickly tomorrow though.
And what wrong with stage-end chicane according to guideline? Not marked by arrows?Quote:
