Especially first few kilometres of Col de Jan are very tricky, dark forest. Temperatures will be around 0 degrees in the morning.

Neuville
“I just braked too late on the first junction, locked the wheels, tried to make the corner but the speed was a bit too fast,” said the world champion. “Not the greatest start, but the car is fine.”

Probably doing extreme tyre-warming. I noticed him doing this at his PET.

Tänak and Neuville have to look at Fourmaux setup or smth

He has been all tarmac rounds faster than them. Time to get out of your comfort zone

All Toyotas faster than Neuville and Tanak... only Fourmaux is keeping Toyota's pace

I hope he can still have a say on the title, but I feel he mentally checked out already. Maybe he'll prove me wrong

Mhmhm we'll see, I'd just like him to bow out as a three time champion.

Nice starts by Cachon and Leo Rossel, let's see if they can fight with Solberg and Gryazin.

Note that Fourmaux and Ogier just did a "preparation rally", and they are 1-2 now. Correlates well.

FWIW, Neuville said on the show stage in Bad Griesbach Therme he hopes tyre choice will come towards them on the second pass.

I guess we‘ll find out about that.

Tanak is only Hyundai still somehow championship contender and did half ass test 24 vs 25 and got half ass car because they didn't have new one to give him..

Fourmaux did 2 test rallies and got a newer car..

To me it doesn't seem like very appealing from Hyundai's side :D but.. I don't get €€€ either :D

Ogier will control this rally, and the rest of the championship from the front. Hope I’m wrong, but odds are that this won’t be the exciting end to a season that the WRC journalists and presenters will inevitably build it up to be.

He could've had the new one but Tanak chose to go with the 24-spec car.

Plus it has a new engine (without 5 min penalty because Hyundai didnt nominate him for Manu points).

I've tipped him to retire in my pickems so will respectfully disagree but have nagging doubt that you may be right!

Fourmaux's magic is fading, seems slow now.

Is it really that hard for the organisers to give all of the Rally1 crews the same light conditions?

This is a deliberate choice, but i also don't know why they do it.
