SAT 14:47 - ALL OVER FOR BREEN
Craig's C3 caught fire after SS11 and has been completely destroyed. Crew are fine. Ott Tanak used his extinguisher to help, but in vain.

And since when did how many times a driver leads a rally mean anything? After all, Meeke has led rallies...

He has driven worse than top 3. But putting him on same performance level as Evans is retarded.
He led 3 rallies this year (Arg, Sard, Tur) and was 2nd in two (Monte, Swe). Out of these 3times he got technical issues, once a puncture. Only "crash" was in Finland, without retiring.
Evans mostly crashed out by himself from worse places.

As to the road position here quite many drivers had better and Lappi and Tänak had 1-2 cars worse. But yeah Mikkelsen is the one who was driving bad.

Hard to win rallies when you never lead any, some would say impossible.

So, now there is five WRC cars still running? Or four if Mikkelsen retires? And yet no technical retirements for the fragile Yarises

I can't quote regulations for you but I think so yes, otherwise it would be rather pointless to have it as using one would mean withdrawal from the rally.

I think Mikkelsen will retire, he is still at the finish of SS11

Six (Tanak, Latvala, Paddon, Mikkelsen, Suninen, Evans). Also Al-Qassimi is still running, so seven.

Henning is in fifth place after the next stage, what the hell is going on

Ogier, Neuville, Lappi, Breen, Ostberg, Tidemand, the list goes on...

Evans is under rally2. Don't know if Qassimi too but he is slow everytime so he doesn't even counts at all.

Latvala wants the win, fastest by far on spl1

I thnk it is safe to say that todays WRCars are not made to take such tough conditions at full speed.

Maybe next year the drivers actually have to adapt their speed to make the car last to the "chequered flag" !
And then we suddenly have a old fashioned rally on our hands, where drivers have to think endurance!

If the pair can not mend it, he will probably loose less by driving slowly with rwd.

Latvala probably wants to be ahead from Tanak after tonights last stage,to avoid orders

Latvala Jari-Matti - Anttila Miikka
"The car is fine now, it was just overheating, now it is working really, really well. I thought I drove carefully here, so the time is a surprise. It seems the other drivers were more careful. Let's wait until the end of the day before we think about team orders."

Quite exciting to see this race of attrition for me!

Evans is soon in the top 10. Will he catch Henning?

They would be stupid not to let tanak pass latavala. He's in contention for the world title now.
