The times are slower than the first pass, no chance for any shortcuts :)

Mikko seems to have a quite safe margin to Seb. Difficult to lose with pure speed. Only if Sunday's repeated stages will be bad as today's ones so the tyre strategy will become a factor again. Even so Loeb needs to win all 5 stages, make the right tyre choice and hoping Mikko will make the wrong choice.

And moreover, now we have two "useless" points, because there's not enough crews to take them for a team's account!!

Confusing!

Does that mean S2000/privateer WRC/Group N/S 1600 cars can still score overall points?

exactly, and also useless to drive stages never to be used in WRC.

Yes. Same as earlier. P-G is now 10th in the overall results, so he would took one point.

This might be an unusual question, but if you walked down a stage the day after the rally, would you find lots of metal tyre studs?

I think he already has this under control. Malcolm has offered him a deal for the future, and by that I mean in WRC as top dog in the top team. The IRC car is run by M-Sport and Malcolm is getting data from potential future WRC venues as well !

This are just my thoughts, not more than that !
Time will tell !

What do you think of Kimi's performance so far? I counted that he has won Petter ew times, Matt at least one and he was really close on Ogier on one stage also. I don't think it's too bad, eh?

Bad, but not too bad!
