Solberg fastest on the first two runs of Shakedown. Pretty good for his first dry tarmac in the Rally1 car.

But if you want to see the actual action watch a fan video...

Morning! Here we go!
Oliver crashed!!!
damn, I knew it wasa mistake putting him first in the pickems….2026 just isn’t my year…
What Oliver need to learn, is that you don´t win the rally already on first stage.
No lucky escape for Oliver this time. Without Ogier this weekend, it was a good chance to pull away from him in the standings...
Had a gut feeling this event was were he would learn a lesson and appear to have been proven right! Not feeling smug as never want anyone to get hurt but wont be a bad thing for him in the long run.
Quite big understear before
Wonder seeing how the Lancia will fair on the dry tar…
Any video of the crash?

Ugh Oliver.. ended basically only excitement already on ss1.. Evans now steady cruise till the end, can't really see anyone beating him..
And once again, without proper rally2 experience there is no pace in rally1. Jon with very good pace vs McErlean
yeah sorry, my bad, haven’t woken up fully…they seem to fare just fine with Gryazin (at least up until now) fastest.Quote:

Fourmaux and Pajari should've changed the puncture. This is a risk
E: Pajari's alert was wrong
Possibly, but it is also a fairly short stage so a difficult choice to make, Pajari hasn't lost too much time.
What is going with Armstrong? Faster than Evans on splits...
Soft tyres + Armstrong did win Rally Croatia last year in the ERC so he is fast here
Going on softs.Quote:

Solberg crash from the outside

A shame for all those getting punctures, but especially Armstrong when he was showing such good speed and was in podium position. But at least his pace is being proven and the M-Sport car being capable.
Taking into account the start list in the RC2 field, Jürgenson winning stage 2 by 4.4 sec is mighty impressive.
What??? Both Toyotas out by Stage 3...
Evans out!!!! could we see a Hyundai tarmac win for the first time since CER 2024??
