Well the "issues" is basically that it lacks grip on smooth/slippery surface.Quote:

Great passion from the organisers, good to hear from them. Got to give them credit for the quality of this event. They really get what it's all about.
very very fast beginning of this stage, this is where Ogier has been so good this weekend, like on the previous stage the ending which was very fast
Well you know what I mean, the fact that the C3 still lacks in some areas and needs improvement.Quote:

You kind of lost me there. Do you mean to say that when Ogier looses to Tanak/Neuville or any other driver he does it on purpose?Quote:

No, not at all. I just want to point out that between the two Sebs there is an extra ego battle. Which may push them to go even further than usual.Quote:

Why are they not showing at least the WRC2 Pro crews on All Live? There is over one hour until the next stage.
Could be they need to refuel the helicopter.Quote:

Don’t bet on it; this one will last until the last stage finish line.Quote:

power stage is todays 1st stage where Loeb took 4 sec.
if gravel has dried its impossible.
Agreed! Switch Sunday and Saturday stages and do double runs on these. SS9 for power stage.Quote:

Before the rally I honestly though young drivers could have a better chance with a new rally, but as it shows experince and confidence is the most valuable part. For me the most impressive drive is @SebastienLoeb. A long break since last gravel rally and fighting for second. #wrc
rallying has always been about experience and it really shows this time.
Was exactly the same in Turkey thought. Lappi and Suninen talking in interviews how finally it will be even starting point and then it was one of their worst rallies of the year.
My theory is that all the post WRC+ drivers are too used to watching onboards to learn stages, so when there are no onboards to watch they stuggle more.
I'm really looking forward to the PS, haven't seen any stages live this weekend yet, but I'm still bummed about Jari Matti :( he was doing such a good race.
the stage basically dry now compared to the morning, huge contrast
Yet only 7 seconds difference in time for Bertelli. Let's see the others.Quote:

Looks like it's cleaning looking at the times.
surpris surprise the rear of citroen stepped out again!
Woha he almost reversed down the slope there.
At least Lappi showed that the C3 can be fast on this stage at the current conditions.
Lappi cut his hand, you could see a little blood. That's what the comment about the gear being too stiff was about. That's why Molly asked if he was alright.
5th is a good position for Suninen. Not fast but no mistakes.
woah it felt like Evans will spin too
Evans disappointing here. But maybe with only testing in Cumbria they didnt get the set-up as good as it could've been.
I did bet on it. Ogier wasnt going to drop that time again.Quote:
