What a stage by Lappi, hats off! Exciting battle for fourth.
Question: What did the boss tell you about the fight with Toyota?
Lappi: Beat them! :D
Clearly Latvala is under orders to Finish, which is perfectly sensible (for once) from Toyota.
JML settling for the points.
'issue' for Latvala called - Tommi Makinen
Latvala is driving like "contract axe" is behing neck. And it totally makes senseQuote:

The worst thing lappi can do for the team is staying second.
old Fabia not goes on revs limiter on that downhill straightQuote:

Well I remember in 2017 Hyundai did like 185 ish on straights while Toyota was hitting 200.
Could be some very tricky and possibly cruel team orders to be decided by Hyundai & Citroen tomorrow.
I can't get any pointers for his tone with the live text. Is he sounding like he's meaning to slow down or is he frustrated at his lost time?Quote:

Big ruts on this stage.
I'm looking forward to the highlights tonight. WRC+ Live uses so much heli coverage that the jumps really dont show much. The views from stage-side cameras will be much more fun.
Thanks :DQuote:

It's not the finish of the seasons, it's "the not fuck it up from the start of the seasons"Quote:

And what a rally indeed! The best
Can anyone point me in the direction of the TV highlights in the UK tonight please?
I don't have BT sport.
Thanks in advance.
Whatta day!!
We started from Päijälä1 "Veibys place" and Markkanen rolled heavily. Then moved 500m towards start and watched vetomies and got one rolled(Teppo)
Then to Pihlajakoski2 and almost saw Pajari rolled.
Then to Leustu2 and we saw Loubet way too much entering to corner (almost 50kmh too much speed) and it took over 6minutes to get him back to road.
Very much action but also wrc guys speed is amazing!

The huge crash of Raul Badiu (JWRC) caught on video:
https://twitter.com/alekslesk/status...860734466?s=20
He used hand brake and took high speed off backwards. Only rear hatch was broken but when we got car off from tree stumb he accelerated back to road and broke front bumper. Nothing serious I think so. He and co-driver were out of car and we told him that we try to get him back and we did it!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ee82bced47.jpgQuote:

all you need to know about JML todays unperforming. All right except last 3 words)
Saturday highlights are up, interesting things:
- Lappi cutting trough the bushes, think that's SS12
- Breen moment on SS13 onboard, same as the one shown from the outside on michelin vid
- Latvala moment on SS12 almost jumping off the road
- Neuvilles Novikov moment from the outside
- Mikkelsen evading a rock in the line in quite high speed on SS16
- Katsuta ripping off his wheel like 10 meters from the startline in first corner
What was missing was how Neuville damaged his suspension.
https://youtu.be/LX1AQPHi6nM?t=18 probably here. 3:27 in the Kakaristo2 onboard.Quote:

On the onboard he actually has a touch on the inside first.
Really like the idea of having guests in the all live studio between the stages. Yesterday they had Malcolm Wilson talking about his 40 years in the Motorsport and also Peter Solberg and Oliver. Today Marcus Gronholm and Mads Ostberg were there and what a legend is Marcus. Really interesting stories especially from his days in Peugeot and the 307 experience.
