So travelling will be little bit adventurous with not much sleep during weekend :)
But even if you want to have vacation on Sardegna, after all you have one extra day to explore the island.
Is there any rationale behind the new shortened schedule, or is it just a case doing something different for the sake of it ?
Personally I dont mind the Friday afternoon start as I get a sleep in !
Maybe I am little bit older, but when I am spending time and power for travelling somewhere, I want to spend the time there, enjoy the place, enjoy the atmosphere. I am not friend of so quick actions, where you spend more time with travelling than being on site. It is similar to mechanics, when they are going to race, they want to work on the cars. With this schedule, they will have only two services per whole event. Now I am talking about mechanics from non-manufacturer teams, who has it mainly as hobby and not main job. When we were asking them before the season who should potentially go to the events, Sardegna was usually one of the "favourite" events. But with this schedule, nobody wanted to go...Quote:

Remember Pickems.
Note: Closing time Friday 1430 hrs CEST.
So no urgent hurry, guys.
Solberg withdrawn from the rally due to some medical issue/allergy reaction.
Oliver Solberg @OliverSolberg01
Elliott and I will not start Rally Italia Sardegna this weekend.
I am currently taking medication after suffering what is believed to have been an allergic reaction and following advice the decision has been taken to withdraw from round six of the World Rally Championship..
Oh dear. It´s always a threat being in other places with different habits in foods for example. Speculating, but peanut allergy is not smth you play with... maybe it´s smth else.

Very useful SD for the rally.. rx track with half of it on tarmac and full of dust..
lol this is the worst shakedown I have ever seen
Unbelievable how they can do everything so wrong in the series
And Thierry agrees with me
SD is a disgrace.
If it's true that next year the rally moves to another part of Italy, it makes this itinerary and SD selection like "Ok, this is the last time here, let's get through this with as minimal effort as possible" :D
Yes.
This is the first time I've stopped watching the shakedown video on Youtube.
Didn’t even bother to wake up and watch it, saw some of it now, could’ve easily been done as a SSS at the end/beginning of today/tomorrow. Absolute disgrace but I guess that’s the theme the WRC is implementing, making sure it kills the sport before we reach 2030.Quote:

I also noticed there was no hybrid showing on the telemetry graphics.
They were just testing graphic template for Rally Latvia for a rally1 car without hybrid.Quote:

Wow, first stage will be even worse. No chance for front runnersQuote:

Very important rally for Neuville, as the next 3 are fast gravel rallies, where Tanak and Evans are generally faster.
But big cleaning effect... not many Km today could advantage Neuville IF someone ends up behind him, otherwise with only few Km for mistakes and troubles, he might end up last of the Rally1 and have to open the road tomorrow as well.
Good chance for Tanak to make up some ground.
They were doing this for some years in Alghero.Quote:

Oh dear, puncture for Evans and he only has 1spare
Fourmaux coming faster than Tänak on some splits (edit: gaining time back from Tänak)
Sordo and Taka surprisingly slow.
