Evans too (especially deserves some luck now for servicing his own car).
Tomorrow will be boring, except for power stage where both Ogier and Neuville will have to go for maximum possible points.
I just noticed that if Tanak and JML can finish 1st and 2nd, it will be this season's first 1-2 result for any team. It has been so even season in this respect (and 2017 too, there was also only one 1-2).
So that brings Tänak back in the middle of the championship fight... What a dramatic rally.
More interesting it's about team-orders in Msport. Will only Evans drop a position or Teemu too
18 seconds faster in 20 kilometers seems like a good pace to me. :pQuote:

what a stressfull day! and tomorrow even more for me
If Latvala talking about that he want to win but must play a team card - thats mean only one: he stay in Toyota at next year
Ingram lost near 2 min and Kopecky back into a WRC2 lead
Rear puncture.Quote:

It seems that Ford and Hyundai have chance to salvage at least some semi-decent points from this event. But for Citroen it is already another disaster.
Shame about Ingram's puncture, but all he really wants/needs is a debut podium in WRC2.
He still has a good gap of 1m36 over Kajto in 4th. :)
Holly cow! I thought Neuville or Ogier could get car issues considering their pace on these roads but was far from guessing all the top 3 would be affected. Gutted for all of them and hat off for their efforts fixing the cars. No matter what driver one support, everybody should praise these guys.
Btw, I’m curious to know what some folks always eager to mention Ogier or Neuville alleged luck will say on Tanak winning this rally...
Finally another good weekend without wrecker MeekeQuote:

Well Tänak was only 4th fastest here which is basically his slowest performance of the season (hard to count sweden). Then again you could say he was the one that drove without destroying his car.Quote:

Personally (without seeing the onboard) I think Ogier seriously messed up here with the off after almost retiring. (also mistake on SSS). He could gain good points on Neuville. Similar story as in Germany where he could get good points but pushed for win and lost points instead. Somehow he is losing his cool .
Sunday is probably the shortest of its kind of the season, only 35 km. About the same as the first stage today.
Ridiculous. They could just add a 35k night powerstage on saterday evening so everyone can sleep long on sunday.Quote:

Encountered less problems or invited less problems? Not every rally is flat out sprint event.
Variety is the spice of life. Events are so short these days it's nice to have one where you can lose a minute and not be out of the game. I think it's been a fantastic addition to the championship.
Do You really enjoy watching 5 WRC cars on stage? Would You go to spectate such event?Quote:

Breen fire the same as Ostberg.
about r5 cars Henning with michelin tyres as Kopecky/Tidemand and while he was as fast,he hadnt got any problems,with same car.
So? Imho is good to have a such rally,rally is not only flat out at Finland like smooth terrains.
we need variety,all kinds of conditions.
An event which you need to manage your speed can be nice, but this rally is just a car wrecker. Cars are being destroyed no matter the approach from the driver.
Mirek this generation of drivers (except Latvala,Ogier)havent compete at Acropolis and such rough rallies,maybe they didnt know how to drive accordingly.Next time will be more ready.Quote:

Interesting that most retirements came today with seemingly less rough stages than yesterday. Maybe drivers started to push more with that in mind.
which retirements can we say that they were from ''roughness'' of rally?Quote:
