Hello guys,
I was wondering if you could recommend me a good place in the Friday section.
I would be happy for some jumps or faster sections.
Thank you, Petr

Yohan Rossel: "I don't see why we wouldn't be in the game in Croatia"
Second in the WRC2 standings after 3 events, Yohan Rossel is in Croatia at the wheel of a C3 Rally2 equipped with upgrades. Within the PH-Sport team, the 28-year-old driver expects a big battle, especially against the Toksport armada and its 4 crews.
Between the time spent with my little boy, the work to be done in our house, the tests carried out with Citroën or the coaching that I carry out with different drivers, I must say that I have been very busy.
In other disciplines, athletes need to train to perform well on the day of the competition. In your job as a driver, don't you lack rolling as some of your opponents can do?
My main job is indeed to be a driver, but with this coaching activity, I am lucky enough to be often in racing cars, whether on circuits or in rallies. I never needed to ride a lot to get into the game. I do not hide from you that as soon as there is no stake, I have trouble. Running every weekend, I wonder if I might be lacking a bit of motivation. Since Monte-Carlo, I have loved the work done with Citroën. It was interesting to see the C3 progress. When I'm good in the car, I don't need to do 100 km of testing, because we're not going to revolutionize it. I have absolutely nothing to complain about and on the contrary I find that the WRC2 has become enormously professional in this area. I still had three days of testing for the Monte-Carlo, but a lot of people do the same.

It appears that you will have a C3 with several modifications?
We knew that we were going to start the season with a car very similar to that of last year and that changes would then be introduced. So we worked to validate several things and there are some great developments coming. This concerns the software, something on the direction, another on the admission… the whole development team has worked very well. Everyone gave their best and we hope that this will give us a gain in competitiveness. It is always complicated to compare with our previous configuration. We were already good with the chassis and we managed to find a few more things. It is especially with regard to the pure performance of the car that the staff have managed to make improvements and this is encouraging.
This will be your third participation in Croatia. You won there last year in WRC2. Is it a challenge you enjoy?
It is true that I have good experience of this round which is very complicated. The course turns out to be very winding at times during the first day. In the same loop, you face super fast times with big ropes. We have to find a compromise. It's like a little Monte Carlo, because we ride far from the service park, in the mountain where we go from one side to another several times. Last year, the fog made the rally even more difficult. I am still disappointed with the little change in special that has been made. Sometimes, on new sections, you manage to make the difference whereas there, with the videos, everyone will know perfectly. I know it's complicated for the organizers to innovate every year, but it would have been nice if there were 1 or 2 ES unknown to all the competitors.
What will be the objective in Zagreb?
It is not because I won last year that I will reproduce this success. I don't feel any pressure to get a result. We are going to give the maximum by trying to avoid errors and if we find that there is a little missing, we will try to react quickly. We will have to stay focused, because even if we are behind on the first day, you can quickly come back. Last year, rain and fog played an important role and I think the weather will again be a parameter to take into account. I don't see why we wouldn't be in on it... well, I hope so!

5 min gaps between rally1 and 3 min gaps between rally2
Such big gaps for a tarmac rally?

stanm3 maybe you can find some info here: https://rally-croatia.com/en/news/pi...ation-at-tokic
Where is this info from?Quote:

Purchased ticket is valid for all spectators areas on the special stages and includes entry to service park in Zagreb on the same day."
I'll pick up my accreditation on Thursday in Service park.
They don't even do that for dusty gravel stages 4 mins instead of 3 then. Let's just give WRC2 more coverage then.. Ridiculous such gaps if true..Quote:

I don't believe this until there's some official document tells about it. At the moment supplementary regulations refer to WRC regulations start intervals, so normal procedure. IMO such long gaps could even harm live broadcast or at least on some stages they'd have time to show less cars, not all 15 cars with the onboard kit. Also, on the stages, 5 minute gaps could create safety issues because people would have more time to wander around.Quote:

5 min gaps are used on power/TV stages though.
Hyundai will run with two cars in Croatia. The team have received the blessing of Craig’s family and James. I’m sure they will honour Craig well.
Edit: forgot to include that they will also run a special livery to honour Craig too.

So, the organisators have enabled tickets so that fans can contribute if they want and donate money via tickets to help organisators.
Also he told me that no one will control tickets and no one will make a problem of that. Also they can't pay tickets to spectators that stand on private property.
Sorry guys! Trusted too much someone who has given me reliable info in the past. It is still 3 and 2.Quote:

Hi guys! Anyone wishing to share a good plan for a first time Croatia spectator? I try to make one looking at the maps, but some of the roads appear to be on gravel, so I cannot judge properly what would be a reasonable plan to catch more than one stage per loop.
hiunday livery leak:

It's not finished.

Evans dropped for manufacturers points. Nice fair play from Toyota. All teams have now two drivers only.
Cool livery, if only the reason was different..
Tanak told croatian reporter that he expects tricky conditions because of all the rain that fell in the last 2 weeks. He isn't satisfied with championship standings and wants to do more
Planetemarcus @planetemarcus
Notice tomorrow P1 will start shakedown after P2 P3 P4, so Rally1 goes to 11.01am CET.
Does anyone know the reason for the shakedown timing?

I think that's a bit harsh. The car clearly had an issue. As much as it's touching to hear all the drivers mention Craig in their stage-end interviews, they've all got a job to do, and if the car had an alarm, it had an alarm.Quote:
