I will ask the team after rally, ok?

So, Hirvonen will lose some 2 or 3 secs on sprint stage, there is less than 20 secs difference for tomorrow, the battle is not over yet.

If I remember correctly it had around 30 stages & no repeats :)

And that is how it should be for all rallies on snow and gravel IMO !
A bit more logistics but easily doable !

PG is maybe a little to early in cruising mode? Time to wake up again, unless he wants Andreas even closer. But that time from Andreas Mikkelsen on SS15 is so good that PG would have had problems with it anyway.
I start to wonder if it was a wrong choice from Andreas`management to choose IRC. At the moment I don`t think they have any possibilities to do both. Anyway I believe the IRC-guys should note this. Andreas is actually very good on tarmac too, so... ;)

It starts hotting up for Patrick Sandell, too. Eivind Brynildsen had a very good run on SS15 and took 15 secs. from him. Quite a distance to go tomorrow also.

He cares if he is beat by Andreas, you bet!

It seems that Sordo has also suffered mechanical issues. Mechanics forgot to retire some kind of engine protections, in order to keep the engine hot outside stages, but on stage, the temperature went higher and higher, so he had to stop... Has anyone heard that?

The thing that Tuohino manages to be so close in front with the S2000 tells it's going to be a very interesting SWRC, this year.

Yeah I did not expect him to be on the pace like this. Hopefully he can translate this to a full gravel event.
