Really enjoyed this rally!
Me too! Lots of drama and kept a tension going on to the last minute. What happened to Lappi is a shame but otherwise a very good rally.Quote:

One of the few rallies I've followed that made me feel that I really needed to follow every single stage in order not to miss out on any action. Also, a good job from the WRC+ team. Some more technical stages and it would've been a 10/10
Also no flaws with WRC+ team. The only hiccup was that the time interval between SS 9 to 10 (and 12 to 13) was too short so the transmitter aeroplane had to move to from stage to stage while the stage was already running and we missed some minutes of action. But that's more of an error from the itinerary planning.Quote:

My 14th Rally Sweden and it was a special one to remember. Improved from last year, already everything much easier. Umea is the right choice - bring on 2024 :)

Btw, this is the first time Ott has lead the championship since he won his title back in 2019, hopefully a sign of things to come ;)
What I find amazing is that he has only won a single stage this year.Quote:

Well like Ott said, they kept close to the top times throughout the weekend, and they also had some luck on their side with Craig's hybrid system not working on Saturday, which otherwise might of made it a different case for Ott. Besides, don't forget the efforts of Thierry & Craig made sure Rovanperä wasn't on the podium.Quote:

I just do not get it why on earth doesn't WRC media team capture and release this? I find this and also meet the crews quite interesting as everybody are in a more relaxed mood and joke around.Quote:

Actually I have done it before but should do it again. Let's spam them!Quote:

His ratings could fit one more section, in witch he gives Andrea Adamo ten points. Every timeQuote:

Too soft set-up change by Neuville caused his PS mistake...

Dirtfish will spin up everything, typ: "Kalles hairstyle caused delayed head movement with helmet thus he could not react on deep oversteer before the spin.." , or, "Katsuta revealed the cause of his off - there was too tasty grilled sausage smell one bend before" and so on for next 3 weeks. 😁Quote:

So basically Hyundai guys used lower pressures to gain performance and had two delaminations, then Tänak had a slow puncture. One puncture in a rally is not much...Quote:

I like Cyril. The guy seems to have balls
I agree. It's a stark contrast compared to last year, at least what we saw in the public domain. In a way Abiteboul reminds me of Adamo, but he is less charismatic. And that's not an issue at all.Quote:

Yea knowing him from F1 i was happy he joined. He will bring the level of Hyundai up for sure and I think some entertainment for us as well. He is in a few episodes of Drive to survive season 1 if you want to see more.Quote:

Not DF spin, it was Neuville's own words...Quote:

Hi guys, I'm new to Rally and I have a question...
What happened before the last stage of Rally Sweden with Breen? He got a 10 second penalty and I know it was intentionally to swap position with Neuville... But what they have done to get that penalty?
They checked in to the time control one minute late = 10 second penalty. Before the start of each stage (and before/after service etc), you have a time control (TC) where you have to check in on your correct time according to your time card. The time is calculated from one TC + a nominal road section/service time = correct time to check in to the next TC.Quote:
