However, it may rain during the rally. That’s separate from what you said initially.
The NE isnt Wales.Quote:

My guesswork based on the weather since August has proved spot-on.
I’m assuming you have trolled me. Good job, I bought it!Quote:

Camilli testing polo r5 for Spain with new livery

Polo’s livery is very nice!
Question about jokers. Do the teams have a deadline when they must say how many jokers they use next year, or they can decide inside the season how many they use ?
Btw, Tänak will have an extra test day on gravel for rally Spain. Since the gravel day is very crucial there and they found a very good setup in Wales which they want to test for Spain too.

Looks and sounds proper quick for an R5 car.Quote:

You can see in the video he is trying different braking tactics. Lets see if there will be any results in the actual rally.Quote:

interesting that Toyota has chosen more slower and technical road compared to Hyundai and M-sport. Watching Tänaks vids its more like a test for Corsica ,but i guess its because its their weakness and they want to solve it.

Cool, didn't know. I assume he is more responsible than certain other pilot.
Unnecessary comment, tbh.Quote:
