Didn't know, thankx for the info. Still a lot of stages missing from the itinerary, also why aren't there any night time stages?Quote:

Ogier nearly hit a deer !

Conditions seem to be really difficult. Respect to all of them who reached the end of the day without off-road excursions. Tomorrow is the big deal.

lucky as hell
WOW 5 min penalty for going 40 and 36 kph on 30kph zone.
Compare that with Ogier doing 160 on road with 90 top speed AND taking a roundabout the wrong way on purpose in Poland (he got only a fine for the roundabout).
and Hanninen doing 160 on a road with 80 in Finland (he got no penalties, even though it's documented by the GPS trakcing).
Double standards much.
EDIT: Thx I see now it's second time for both. But 36 on a 30 zone....
I highly recommend watching Tanak and Mikkelsen onboard from SS6.
Tanak has 3 moments - high speed sideways trough junction on start, the well published one which starts really innocent then seems to turn really ugly and at the last moment he pulls up.. and then another sideways powerslide later
Mikkelsen has at least 4 small ones including a missed braking (2-3sec lost), a braking completely without control and some sideways snaps.
Cause is second time to both
by wathing that, plus all the other offs you didnt see, you cant say luck doesnt play an element. but you mentioned before, how good drivers pick safe places to go off on? these guys are pushing over the limits of adhesion most times, and hoping they get away with it. and you wonder what some driver have accidents. us mere mortals cant actually fathom what it takes to drive like this.Quote:

Somehow I forgot about Rally Germany this week, and now that I've recapped on all the events, it's fair to congratulate Andreas and Ott for today. I genuinely didn't expect them to be at the top today.
Also, poor Latvala. Three times in a row now that his car failed him. After so many years of being a fan and having to suck it up when he made the mistake, it's super unfair that the one year his confidence comes back and he drives quickly and consistently his car bites him back.
Now, on the topic of the Yaris' performance on tarmac, thoughts?

Definitely work to do. But Makinem already knew that.Quote:

OK I'm confused, seems Neuville is starting ahead of Ogier tomorrow. Start order based on O/A positions before the final SSS, when Ogier was still ahead ?
He is still under rally2 regulations.Quote:

But in dry situation it will be difficult for him to stay in front. I hope I am wrong. He did a really good job today.Quote:

It just started to rain heavily/torrentially in #RallyDeutschland service park. Meaning tomorrow morning loop won't be dry...
video WRC rally Deutschland crash crews ok ,mistakes and show

I have to admit I was surprised to see Tänak do this well on tarmac. Also delighted to see Mikkelsen so high on a Citroen. Latvala could be fifth now without his engine problems, sad to see the car fail on him for the third time in a row.
The WRC+ daily highlights video apparently has a bug and stops at 12 minutes, but Redbull TV to the rescue...
Yes completely agree with what you wrote there.Quote:

- Ogier usually is very good on Panzerplatte, how about Neuville this year (related: tirewear on I20?)
- Breen vs Hanninen
