Yep... managed to stop a car, physically download onboard videos and put it on a stream... hour or so later. They do that nearly 15 yrs! I told that they can't do it by wireless methodQuote:

If you are wondering what this is, it’s not an upside down coffee cup stuck to the roof of the @MotorsportSkoda Fabia R5, it’s actually the antenna for the satellite telephone.

Aerodynamics? No, didn't heard!
Which was already proven in Rally Mexico 2017...Quote:

Back to the future.

Anyway for championship the current standings are very good.
Loeb here +Breen in Sweden could convince Citroen to run 3 cars or more rallies and positions of the other drivers make the title fight more even.
The real rally will be today with different start orders. I'm curious how it's going to be between Ogier, Meeke, Tänak, Loeb and Sordo.
START ORDER
1. Neuville
2. Latvala
3. Mikkelsen
4. Ogier
5. Meeke
6. Tänak
7. Loeb
8. Sordo
BEFORE SS11
1. Sordo
2. Loeb +7.2
3. Tänak +11.0 (3.8)
4. Meeke +25.0 (14.0)
5. Ogier +30.2 (5.2)
6. Mikkelsen +31.7 (1.5)
Only one of the top 3 can win imo. Seb will try and overtake Meeke for 4th

I think the reason I praised WRC+ yesterday was that as it was evening in the UK and I had the rally on TV via Chromecast. Great to watch so much live action, plus stage ends and interviews with managers from the SP. The main stages had no gaps and it made for hours of entertainment. Ok they missed some things but I didnt mind and I thought the picture continuity was good given the remote area. Looking forward to a repeat tonight. :)
you can never leave Ogier out, just 31 secs behind lead and with a much better starting position for today.Quote:

Who knows, a puncture . . . a spin . . a mechanical . . a car parkQuote:

I'd put my money on Tanak now, but that's because it's amazing to think Loeb could actually win this (which he can) :)Quote:

Dont want to start the discussion again, but the start order rules seem to be more punishing than usual this year. Like in Sweden for Ogier, Neuville is being punished again today for losing time on day one opening the road.
Having said that, he did lose time for other reasons too.
Any tyre info?
and its a gooooo!
I am sure that the irony won't be lost on Dani Sordo. Finally he has a top notch car (arguably the fastest of the current crop) and he has put some distance between himself and the other championship rivals and benefits from good road position for Leg 2. All this and who should pop up in his mirror but his long time win denier Seb Loeb who looks all set to steal another from him.
I think Tanak and Ogier will have a part to play yet. Can't wait to watch the drama unfold later today.
Neuville lost 1 minute alredy due to water splash
and it's end for NeuvilleQuote:
