[WRC] Rally Islas Canarias 2025

This might be the most boring rally I've ever seen, from my point of view.. Probably mainly caused by being a Hyundai fan.

It’s a shame ‘cause it is a really beautiful rally to watch.

Demaison told DirtFish: “The conditions of this new tire highlights the fundamental issue we have with the car, which is not too difficult to solve, because we have been through this in the past. But we’ll need jokers and homologation to change a few things. We don’t have so many left, we’ll have to be careful.”

Sounds like old broken record.

Incredible.

They're lucky theres a big run of gravel rallies ahead and they can work on the relevant tarmac / tyre requirement Jokers during the summer.

They could spice things up for next year if they can include gravel parts in stages, or having mixed surface in all of the rally. Like previous editions of Spanish rally.

Allen #42 drove straight car front to Armco after 10km in SS 8 (we are in that place). New tarmac is slippery.

Kalle securing his gap to Ogier.
8.4s faster than Ogier

Not gonna happen for budget reasons, also I believe it is no longer allowed to have mixed surface events.

I wonder what this forum would've written about Mitsubishi, Subaru, Audi and Toyota in the past, let alone Seat or Skoda. Wished for those ************"* village teams to get nuked?


Anyway, are we witnessing the most dominant tarmac performance since peak Loeb?
