Mads on a startlist for tomorrow

Latvala crash from another angle

The bales must be close to each other to form a barrier, with no open spaces between them; clearly that wasn’t the case.Quote:

There was some confusion about Østberg being retired (and not in Rally2, because he said his rally is over) but he's still there on the start list.
Huh, that's definitely not how the chicane looked ... for any of the cars.Quote:

In reality there were 4 bales and 3 "roads". So those that read if front left were correct and those that read it from right were also correct.
Hence I can't see any penalties getting handled. Quite big messup from the organizers both on the idea of putting the finish in a chicane and then messing it up.

The road book has three big dots and one smaller, not sure what's the difference, but otherwise the layout is the same.
nice to have Molly back at the studio :D
The small dot marks the finish (compare with the STOP just below). So 3 bales in roadbook 4 bales in reality. If you count from right you have bale-finish-bale-(the road you should drive) and then 2 bales on left instead of one.Quote:

and we are Go guys...huge day ahead without service
we have 4 bales on roadbook and 4 bales in reality. What wrong? From roadbook you should past two first opposite bales and than keep left on last twoQuote:

Right, so actually it appears that Ogier et al drove the correct pathQuote:

Lappi and Tidemand are about equal now at split 3
nobody matching Evans so far
wow Tidemand faster than Lappi.
completely different perspectives from Lappi and Tidemand, one liked the other not
Meeke losing some time, a few seconds
And now it appears he hasn't started.Quote:

man i thought the next stage is 11.08 estonian time but now i noticed it is 12.08...meh (AnttiL will be furious again now with me )
I mean, one can be "meh" about it being a long time to the next stage without it being complaining about the rally/organizers
I certainly am "meh" about it, but hey, now I got time to do some dishes while I wait

Greensmith screwed up! Kalle is now again closer to being a champion
That's probably it for GUS today then. He is making a lot of rally ending accidents...

Latvala, Paddon, Greensmith, Tidemand are not doing too well.

3rd split in a row Oliver have fastest split in R5
I don't like these gaps either. They're fundamentally unavoidable, rallying wouldn't be rallying as we know it without them. But "the bad things happen for a reason" is not the same as "they are not bad".
It's just one of the things you have to take into account when you decide whether you want to watch the whole of every rally.
Road cleaning rallies like Sardinia are similar -- they're good for people who just follow the championship table, but they're miserable if you watch the rally and realise that car and driver are minor compared to starting order.
So, basically we're screwed. ;)
I'd take Latvala in a WRC team over the others easily.
There comes something special. Around 10sec faster than Rovanperä to expectQuote:
