All the worry would be about ice. If there is ice then stages get cancelled, as they don’t have the tyres for it.Quote:

Would be kinda silly to cancel a stage because of snow, when you think about Monte Carlo.
In Monte you have snow + studded tyres in choice, but Croatia is just slicks.Quote:

The only issue is that it will create very changing conditions, fucking over some drivers because they have to clean.
No, they have rain tyres also. Which are a lot better than slicks, still obviously not meant for snow/ice.Quote:

Potholes are normal thing in Croatia, here we are so used to it, that is a normal thing for us.
but I'm talking of something else. Majority of roads in Croatia are paved with limestone asphalt. It is a low quality and slippery as hell. Your normal car will have problems with grip.
In 2021 WRC drivers told that asphalt was tricky, slippery, challenging...
But it could be worse.
The worst tarmac roads are in Istria and Dalmatia.
There are rumours that WRC could be in Istria next years. The interior of Istria, when it rains the roads are so slippery that it is like you are driving on ice + stone walls on each side of the road. So good luck.
Just look at this beauty

Was there something noteworthy, or why some drivers have 10mins from 3rd run?
The Toyota's of Ogier & Evans have gone fastest on Run 3 of SD.
Probably just a run with a VIP / guest in the car.Quote:
