Sad end to the season for Teemu.
so.. Lappi, Sordo and Rovanperä got same time as Tänak..
Lappi and Sordo okay, but Rovanperä got a little gift with that notional time.. + Tänak lost couple of secs on the stage to Neuvilles car, so some unluck for him again
Still on the snow tyres.
Feel sorry for those in 2WD cars in these conditions.
Last part of the stage - goes past a burger van queue?
All WRCs on winter tires now. Toyota also with 5 now.
Toyota:
Ogier/Evans/Rovanperä: 4 MICHELIN Pilot Alpin A4 + 1 MICHELIN Pilot Sport FW3
Katsuta: 4A4
Hyundai:
Tänak: 5A4
Sordo/Veiby: 4A4
MSport:
Lappi: 4A4
Tänak it the same gate as Sesks I think.
Starting to wonder if someone takes wet tires for the last stage, cause that one is much less gravel and more high speed tarmac.
that was costly mistake Ott for tomorrow starting pos-
Why Molly thinks they need snow tyres Tomorrow?
There is snow on the stages atm and about +1 and rain/snow forecasted.Quote:

With forecast just above 0 some of the precipitation can come down as snow.Quote:

Lappi slow and wil probably lose the lead to Sordo.
Nope just held it.
Ogier is going to be mega to watch tomorrow....
all 3 toyotas faster at this stage
i believe Ott would have split them without that reverseQuote:

Sordo at last 2,2 km lost 4,5 sec
Even Katsuta with good time
Lappi & Sordo lost any advantage of the notional times on SS4 with driving that stage slowly. Others had a proper 'fast recce' for the next run.
Ostberg lost 11,6 s from Tidemand now.
hats off to Veiby so far
to make your debut in WRC car in such a conditions
I'm seeing +5 with heavy rain, but we'll see.Quote:

Michelin #Tyre info - SS5

Fourmaux/Rossel: 4NA00 + 1 MICHELIN Pilot Sport MW1
Huttunen: 5MW1
If this has been talked about I completely missed it, have they canceled SS4 for non priority drivers since there is only times for 43 cars?
Did Neuville actually break something on the suspension or was it just bodywork? (which then subsequently let water where it shouldn't go)
Yes was cancelled for startnumbers over 50. (they had to otherwise they couldnt start ss5 on time)Quote:

Definitely broke something. Car was handling badly and he was losing a lot of time.Quote:

Just him being honest, or another hint that he's out of the team for next year and doesn't care what he says?

A bit of both imo.Quote:
