Linnamäe & Kreim gone welll but the road is much cleaner now.
Yes from MRF racing Twitter it seems they did that on purpose with Breen. After Poland I was wondering if someone would do that on purpose here.
It's not without risk though, easy to get stuck behind someone with issues on stage or get a bad notional time.
Any news on what happened to Munster ?

Quite strange. Seems like they put more detailed attention to roll cage, maybe after Rai crash in Kenya. Polonski wrote on his Facebook that it's rather Abarth's fault.
How can they re-weld the cages in less then 3 hours?
must be just a part of cage probablyQuote:

He will start 32 on road, be it behind a slow Fiesta R3 from Zoltan
Interesting day ahead of us, it will be a close battles. Can Gryazin show his superb speed and keep it on the road this time? Will Breen tactics pay off? Can Marczyk use his starting position and set a good stage times? Mikkelsen vs Lukyanuk mini-battle etc.

Marczyk is quite good, but I don't think he is on the same level. Perhaps he can match Gryazin's speed on very short stages only?Quote:

Great time by Solans compared to others who have completed the stage.
Very bad stage times from Bonato and Scandola. It's not good to clean the road on this rally.
Good stage by Mikkelsen 9s up on Luky !
Gryazin fastest, but only by little. Good run by Mikkelsen. Now lets wait what Breen is up to.
Good job on SS1. probably helps that his car is run by SRT who know how to set up a car for these roads.Quote:

They are eaten alive by huge Latvian flies it seems... :DQuote:

Interesting what is that "special" tyre strategy Gryazin is using and talking about for Estonia?
Munster's bad luck continues with a puncture on SS1. :(
Larena 2nd overall after ss 2!
Oscar Solberg 35s off Ken Torn after 2 stages in the Fiesta Rally3's.
Must be the clean road for him.Quote:

Afternoon is NOT a repeat of the morning loop so swept road advantage will remain for the later crews, today at least.
I think that is really good actually.Quote:

If Oscar can get to the finish, and get km in his system, and closing in on Torn speed per km SS, he should be happy with his weekend.
Penalty for Mikkelsen - one minute.
Ouch.Quote:

Great split screen footage of heli and onboards from SS5.
Strong words from Lukyanuk.. Breen and Llarena are 'cheating' with the running order shennanigans.
Didn't he do the same in previous rallies?Quote:

Heh. My mistake. Was rather searching through gravel events :D And the best strategy for Canarias was spying locals :)
Well this it deserves some explanation at some point. Who should decide the startime? I thought it's always the "starter" at start of the stage that confirms it (if there are delays or hold ups). Did the starters do nothing and expect the crews to start by themselves?Quote:

Some confusion about Mikkelsen's penaly. ERC radio is saying organizers likely will take it back?
