if Tanak manage to get the max 5 points at super stage will be very close.All will be very close to be precise
Rovanpera : .... 34 pts
Neuville : ......... 32 pts
Evans : ............ 31 pts
Ogier : ............. 30 pts
Tanak : ............ 25 pts

Early days, but I hope we can have those 5 drivers pushing for the title going into the last 2/3/4 events.
In a way I'm slightly underwhelmed by Kalle here as I thought he could fight Tanak, but then again he's fighting for 2nd, finished 4th in Monte and could be championship leader going into Croatia :D
Tomorrow a big battle between neuville and rovanpera. I expect neuville to win it in the end, so that would put him in the lead of the championship.
I do understand what you say. It´s theory in its best.
Using power is actually something else. If you have massive torque at 4000rpm is it worth anything at 7000? You were talking about the curve (diagram), yes? I´ve been benching (drag track?) several Opel 2,0 liter NA rally engines and know what a skilled technician can do with Weber carburators, giving me torque very useful going out from junction or gearshifting everywhere. But having that slight diference in power on 6th gear and 7500 - 8000 revs will make the differnece that Sunine talks about not having. (Not old Opel engines at those revs, todays)
Why should teams bather develop engines having a fully good one at present...?
the good is tomorow will have good fights for positions 2-3 and 4-5 if nothing change at Sunday morning stage.
So at power stage everybody will push like hell.Everybody has a reason.
Ogier to earn as much points he can trying to avoid to leave with 0 points
Tanak will grab the chance to get again into the championship play,after the Monte fiasco.
Rovanpera he cant take it steady as Neuville is 1,8 sec behind.
Same with Breen and Evans ,as the later is 10,1 sec behind Breen.
This is not a power stage,this is the Hellhttps://www.petrolheads.gr/images/sm...rum/metalo.gif

I don't think there is any chance of them working together again.
Gilsoul seemed to have moved on. His target is Dakar 2022. He was taking some lessons from Michel Perrin already this week. He used to do orientation and regularity rallies when he was young (one of the best codrivers in Belgium in that) so should do very good in Dakar I recon.
Mads just said Neuville did one of the best performances he´d seen.
I have never said that. I said that peak power values of WRC cars are most likely nearly same and not the thing which makes the difference. The shape of the power curve is what you need to look at and restricted turbo engines have completely different power curve than your naturally aspirated Opel. Restrictor causes that the equation "more RPM = more power" doesn't apply. Therefore top speed at RPM limiter is not reached at peak power point. Hence why peak power value has nothing to do with the top speed.
@ Rallyper: This is Fiesta R5 original and Evo power and torque curve (with the improvement values) - original one, not Mk II. For sure the current WRC cars have the peak power higher but it is good for the general idea of restricted turbo engines. You can see that Fiesta R5 gained only 2Hp peak power through its development (because of restrictor) but even over 30 Hp in low RPM due to the raise of torque.

PS There is a also a reason why to try to have power as low as possible - all mechanical losses raise exponentially with RPM. It means that if you measure the power on wheels and not on the clutch you get rather different shape of the curve - a lot more is cut by losses at the top while nearly nothing is lost at the bottom.
i really cant understand why Neuvilles choice was this guy.Didnt know these problems from start?
There wasnt any other co driver without these language problem?
Thierry Neuville
@thierryneuville
The main target tomorrow is to bring home a double podium for @HMSGOfficial
. The stage is a different profile to those we’ve done so far but the car has been working well, I have been feeling comfortable and if our communication is working well, then we’ll go for it.

It's snowing quite much in Rovaniemi region at the moment. Tomorrow's stage is the closest to the city. #WRC #ArcticRallyFinland

I have to say I was expecting #Mikklesen to fight with #Lappi here after saying he wanted to ‘dominate’ every round he competes in BUT Lappi is showing some class here to keep doing it stage after stage and having closing on a 50’s lead in.
#WRC2
For me at the moment you wining about Neuville more then Neuville actually wining :) I would say it was way bigger problem in previous years with comments like "I got most of the rain / ice / snow / fog / sun" to search reasons, why he was "victim" but not the reason for slower times. This year I can watch it more like explanation when it is actually problem. Of course, there is question - why this problem is still there. I admit, that during next rally the same problem could be quite weird.

M-Sport admitting they lose on fast sections

Suninen saying they lost at worst 4s/km on flatout sections. They have managed to get split time wins on 3-4th gear sections. He’s afraid the engine upgrade won’t be enough. Suninen also reminds how equal they were with Lappi in Fiestas, and how good Lappi is now in WRC2.
Rovanperä has just 1.8s in hand and, although he promised “I will do the best I can” on Sunday to keep his place, he admitted to being disappointed by his lack of pace.
“Like I said before the rally if it [Hyundai’s pace] is coming from somewhere where you really cannot match it – it’s not mistakes or something, you just drive well and you’re not fast enough – it’s always difficult,” he said.
“I felt this rally I was really doing a good job on many stages but we are just not on the pace.”

Lappi

The excuse is pointless and even more useless to the new codriver. These talks are meant to be private, between you and the man beside you, I i magine these "communitaction" happen for every driver, but not once have I heard such relentless battering from a teammate to another. Afterall it is a team sport and bringing your teammate down my your own subpar driving isn't really something publicly commenting worth, but perhaps your own wallet "being the culprit".
I'll give Neuville something. At night he's able to produce some outerworldly stage times. I remember at least Sweden 2017, Monte 2020 and now Arctic 2021 where he has been crushing everybody else on one night stage.
But yes, yacking about "communication" doesn't help Wydaeghe to gain confidence and this whole problem started out of disrespect towards Gilsoul. So it's only on him and nobody else.

4s/km loss on flatout sections would mean around 30+-kmh less speed than others. I doubt it their top was suddenly 170kmh..
Lappi is doing really good and maybe bringing Mikkelsen a bit back on the ground about taking it all :D

Good morning, people of rallying! It's a #rallyzombies morning in #WRC #ArcticRallyFinland. Weather is similar to Friday's, a few minus degrees and misty. It should clear up though before the first run of Aittajärvi stage. The fresh snow is only 1 cm. Enjoy the day! #rovaniemi

That Scottish girl sure is a chatterbox
"it's been a full 2 weeks for you at Msport at minus 30, has it been enjoyable?"
"yeee"
I'm surprised by this also. The thing is Lappi said he isnt even close to pushing, just driving in his own speed. But Mikkelsen after SS10 said, he is on limit, but the time difference is just huge. I wonder if there is something they are not saying on camera (nothing to take away from Lappi, I know he is talanted and fast, but time gap just seems too much).
Out of interest, I was trying to spot the highest speed shown on the telemetry at the end of SS7 where there is a flat-out partly downhill run to the FF. From memory, Ogier & Takamoto were 193-194, Neuville & Tanak were 191 (on their limiters) and Sunninen & Greensmith were 189
Sébastien Ogier
@SebOgier
Back on the road for 2 more stages today
Chances to catch points in the Power Stage are realistically slim, but let’s try and see what comes out!
