Tänak is ahead of his main rivals at the moment so all good.
He has been brilliant, a little scrappy in the super special this evening, but overall a spectacular debut for Toyota. Now Tanak will have a comparable road position, it’s a big ask for Oliver to keep him at bay but I suspect his mentality will be to try. I just hope he doesn’t bin it in the process, although he has probably done enough for his career even if he does.Quote:

Neuville has done well, in the fight, but he sounds like he doesn’t expect to be able to keep up with Tanak tomorrow.
I’m still baffled by Rovanpera, can it really just be the tyres?
Evans did ok, difficult to really know if he is getting the most out of it or not.
Fourmaux sorted it out this afternoon, very good speed. Will be impossible to gain back what he lost this morning though.
Taka anonymous
Pajari unlucky with the issue
The best that can be said about the MSport guys is they are there as roadsweepers for the Toyota and Hyundai cars tomorrow so nobody quick has to go first on the road.
Tyres + hybridless car, probably. Remember that both titles of Kalle were in the hybrid seasons. I don't buy the "no motivation" reason because of how he dominated Canarias, even compared to the other Toyota. Clearly he likes the car on asphalt, but he misses something on gravel.Quote:

Yes, I suppose it could be that simple. Evans is a bit the reverse, he didn’t seem to gel with the hybrid car, but looks back to his pre-hybrid level now its gone. Only Kalle knows if he is motivated or not, he has a laid back demeanour so it would be easy to mistake that as lack of motivation.Quote:

Is there a chance of rain tomorrow?
Rain chance has diminished for tomorrow but some hit or miss showers expectedQuote:

There was forecasted some thunder storm near Sunday stages today, looked very dark, not sure if anything came?
Very close to a perfect day for OliverS! He gelled with the car from the start, and drove as he has been doing in Rally2, at the front of the list.
Will be interestimg to see how he tackles the different starting position for tomorrow. He will need to learn that aspect as well.
but him and rest of the Solberg Clan will celebrait him as a coming Rally1 winner anyway!
