Tough break for the later runners with the rain.
Qualifying Stage winner Philip Allen was fifth overall after four stages only to go off the road on a slippery Tarmac section 8.2 kilometres into SS5.Quote:

It just went backwards off the road, there isn’t actually much damage, I think we should get going tomorrow. It’s more just the back panel and the boot lid that’s got damaged, the rest is 100 per cent.”
He admits that it was his own mistake:Quote:

It’s frustrating because we had the stage win on the one before that.”

Not in first moment, but one second later when he himself by instinkt thought it was over. You clearly hear that he lifted when pedal on the floor might, just might, could have helped...Quote:

Shame for Mads... if he wanted a real shot at the title, he needed very strong results in Scandinavia and Poland, before the final rounds on tarmac. But he can still recover some places tomorrow.
Really nice fights, many drivers and brands up there!

watching some fan footage, at 42s i saw a little mistubishi with all 4 wheels diggin deep,
I went SO FAST to check the entry list to see who it was, couldnt find the guy.
its an swedish championship entry probably, eh?
always awesome to see mirages, (and protons and 208s in other rounds) even if its not in the actual ERC haha

It is so pity that almost nobody from swedish drivers is not doing in international field, but only nationa, which is doing only half of stages...
#117 is Mats Jonsson. There are quite many Mirages tho..Quote:

The times are amazingly close here
Yeah, in such conditions even winning a stage doesn't give you much, just 2 seconds sometimes. It will be very difficult for Ostberg or Armstrong to gain some positions here.Quote:

Impressed by Johannsson's pace today too, beating Ostberg and Marczyk on all stages so far.
Driver interviews are far more interesting and entertaining than WRC as well, they seem more open and maybe relxaed than the WRC. (Not meant as a criticism of the WRC drivers)
All that you said:Quote:

Interesting spots to watch the rally :)

Oh, dear. Just when we all wanted to hear Brynhildsen interview, they cut for next stage...!!! Are they robots, or what???
Having Henning Solberg has also been great on this rally. Someone entertaining to watch and interview running early on each stage.
Did Allen crash again?
