[WRC] Rally Chile 2023

5 Softs was a bizarre tyre choice by Rovanpera when it's the longest day and most abrasive stages.

Still one stage to go, so had to save to have something left. Bad stragedy indeed.

Go on Ott !!

Tänak should do hell of a time on next one with full hards

... or from another point of view, others just lose a lot of time as they don't have any working tires left.

A nice rally so far, i really like these roads. Also the tyre battle is nice we haven't had one so different in a while. Looks like Rovanpera went all or nothing today. Curious what Tanak and Suninen will do with on the next one.

... but with overly optimistic tyre-strategy it all seems to work out in the opposite way

Probably massive loss is coming for Rovanperä from SS9, 3.7sec down already to Taka.

jepp. Kalle driving Heller tempo between split 1 and 2...

Tyres are so done and they burst
