Tanak on the challenge of Mexico for the hybrid cars:
“But from the other side for the hybrid, the temperature and altitude and low cooling effect, it will definitely affect. So how we can manage it we need to find out.
“It’s probably going to be one of the most challenging ones for the hybrids.
“The hybrid doesn’t like the temperature, it doesn’t like the compressions and the G-forces which in México you get many with all the compressions and things.
“So let’s see, it will be a proper challenge.”

So. Here we go again, fellows. Time for Rally Mexico.
There´s a righthander only a couple of hundred meters from start. Tanak seemed to go wide there...
But the All Live clipped just before when Kalle was almost there...
No feeling at all.
Sound not even synchronized...
No interviews either.
Ogier is back.
Feels good coming back here, last time was so depressing (obviously), glad to see Mexico back on the calendar.
Gus just 2 secs from Tänak
Good run by Gus vs the WRC2 field.
Seems like Fourmaux broke the 2022 budget so bad, since he has used the ,,old'' puprle livery helmet all this year (and suit also on Wilson's rally) :D
Pickems closing tonight at 2300 hrs CET. Remember!
Gus with soft tyres.Quote:

I think it's quite painful to watch on Friday - the road-cleaning is huge, Friday heroes can shine again (this time Sordo, Loubet, Katsuta, Lappi) and then there is question, are Tänak and Rovanperä in the attacking position after Friday or it's lost game and "grab what you can" for small points. Entry list is so small, that you may grab some points even with super-rally.
In Rally2 category is interesting, how Rally1 drivers from last year (Greensmith, Solberg, Fourmaux) can fight each other - they all have a lot to prove, and they are nice targets for others, like Lindholm and Gryazin.
The 2023 look for Gus....

Stage win for Tänak on SS1 with quite a margin I would say considering it’s just 1.12km
And SS2. Getting all the seconds he can get to be ahead of someone come Saturday.Quote:

Just got to love the atmosphere on those 2 street stages even though the proximity of the crowds would probably have scared the shit out of organisers in countries like the UK! With the previous use for the Gymkhana vids as well just adds to the mystique.
Highlights from the street stages:

Is there not a service with tire change this morning, they said it wasn't on wrc+? Weird doing donuts if not.
This is new rule this year - no morning service on gravel events. For me it is stupid decision...Quote:

For example in Rally Finland they will instead have a service after the Thursday super special, but no morning service. Normally there would be no evening service on Thursday.

– technical checks may be carried out within the parc fermé.
57.2.2 40 minutes between two groups of stages – preceded by a 3-minute technical zone which may be within a regroup.
57.2.3 45 minutes at the end of each section before an overnight regroup.

Nightmare. :(
That lasted long
Lol
Lot of peep monents in estonian
New year, same old shite from Msport.
Tänak's assumption before going out from car: some turbo-related (turbolõdvik) thing is loose/opened.
Anyway, fuckedup and lost game.
thats what you get when you put an errand boy as your team manager to save a few pounds....
and... Rovenperä based on his own statements gave some points in Sweden away to not start 1st on the road. And now. He is first on the road. Without those theoretical points.
