Gearbox broken for LAtvala.... AGAIN!!!!!
crazy morning in Marx land !!!!
For Sordo it's back to last year in a way. Very good results on gravel and then mistakes on tarmac while he is fast.
Maybe meQuote:

Ogier up t 4th, lol
Kopecky not gaining as much as expected in WRC2.
Tänak must go for 5 points on power stage otherwise he doesnt gain basically anything from Neuville and Ogier.
Kopecky very strong last sector and halfed time difference to Rovanpera
What a dramatic first stage in the morning!
For me I´ll follow rest of the day on my IPhone. No more comments here.
Over and out.
Citroen in "Meeke karma" here. They didn't like that Meeke crashed between wins - they get other still crashed but without wins! Brilliant strategy Citroen! Just perfect!
With that pace Neuville was heading for 2nd anyway. Somehow Ogier wins from this carnage.
Rovanperä still leads WRC2.
Also great that Suninen is now fifth overall, a sensible drive on his first WRC tarmac rally.
Well yes, first really good time from Nueville for the weekend. Don't think he'll do well on the more open powerstage though.Quote:

Good morning everyone, wow what a stage to open the last day, and there is still another run Grafschaft and a power stage which is only run once...should be interesting.
still some rallies to go and his road postiion is very solid to win the next events... if they finish as they are now he gets 10 points from Mrs Kaisers lap doggy.Quote:

No, only for Neuville, their virtual point gap has increasedQuote:

At the end yes, but who would it thought for Seb to bring the car up to 4th place after yesterday's disaster?Quote:

Neuville is the luckiest motherfucker in all of motorsport.
And jesus christ are the Toyotas unreliable. Can somebody count how many technical issue related retirements Latvala has had in 2 years? The other weird part seems to be how they seem to happen to certain guys.
Mexico was a disaster but overall Tänaks mechanical issues seem to have somekind of a reason behind it, either a random stone damaged something or whatever. Latvala seems to have all the gearbox issues, electronical issues and so on.
I sometimes think is there something the driver can do about it? Can they be more thorough in check in the service. Is it that they have shittier mechanics dealing with their car or is it just purely bad luck.
He got a Citroen... that's a reasonQuote:

These parts of last year's stage are not included on this year's stage. But still there was enough drama.Quote:

----------------------------------------
As to Latvala, while it doesn't look like his fault here in Germany, he was also the only one out of the 3 Polos that had so many issues and very often "suspension failures" from hitting rocks on the side. Same now in Toyota (Agentina, Portugal), so might have to do with driving style.
Tanak in Portugal seemed to have a bit lower ride height than the others and the front got lower just before the rocks. The jump in Sardinia was quite massive as well. Yes the Toyota seems more fragile, but it's not like they were completely innocent impacts.
( a bit like Hyundai suspension issues in Germany and Spain last year)
Veiby is not in WRC2 so probably just taking it easy and learning the rally.Quote:

I think that after the number of crashes he was simply ordered to finish and not to try anything else. Still he's been really slow here.Quote:

For example in Mexico Neuville was massively unlucky with the car issues on day 1m that cost him starting position for rest of rally. Similarly in Argentina Tanak was lucky when he just bent the steering on day 1 while Latvala with similar impact destroyed the suspension.
Yep, no need for such statements. Pull yourself together Ott.Quote:
