Q:
We were wondering whether you would go for maximum points in the Power Stage. We have seen it before when you have taken a win, but you mentioned at the end of the previous one that you weren’t too sure. You said “maybe not”. Was the feeling not there, or did you know from the beginning of the day, that was not going to be the objective?
OT:
To be honest, something happened on the penultimate stage, on the long stage. At the end, I started to lose braking stability and then, I only had one-wheel braking at the front. We tried to do many different things on the road section, but we couldn’t understand what was happening. I tried for the first two corners of the Power Stage but in the end, there was no chance for us to really push with this car, so it was important to bring it home

Νeuville vs Tanak at same corners.Watch at last plan how later is Neuvilles braking

Τanak pushing a straw bale

Great result for Tanak, Meeke and Latvala. And Tommi!
The only thing that can stop Tanak now is a DNF or two.Quote:

Nobody breaks smooth, there are no advantages too it.
According to this article Simone Scattolin, co-driver of Fabio Andolfi, suffered triple pelvis fracture and a broken rib in the accident on SS18. It's written there that they hit a tree by the right side of the car.

Some statistics - comparing TOP 3 for the last 3 seasons with the current scoring system.
You can see that in 2019 Big 3 are dominating the championship more than they have in the past 2 seasons. They have amassed 46,72% of all the available points, compared to 42,67 in 2018 and 41,47 in 2017. At the moment Tänak has gathered 17,67% of all the available points.
Ogier in 2017 and Neuville in 2018 were leading the championship at 177 points (15,26 %) after the 10th rally of the season. Compared to those, Tänak's 205 is pretty impressive - still not close to Ogier's domination up to 2016.

So, things are promising for Tänak, but nothing is lost for Ogier and Neuville yet. Last season at the same time, Ogier was also at 3rd place ;)

Having done hobby/amateur racing on track, rally and ice circuit, i would also give very slight advantage to "smooth" braking. Of course, there are many who also have some experience (many much more) and would disagree, but thats where different drivind styles, different cars and different situations come to play. Smooth braking doesnt mean that it is not hard. At the peak, pedal is probably pressed down just as much. In my opinion, smooth braking gives more control over the speed and balance of car at which it enters the turn. When braking looks like 0%-100%-0%, then it is somewhat harder to hit that exact moment when speed is optimal. Also, at hard braking suspension is compressed quite lot, when suddenly releasing (depends also on rebound settings) then change in available traction is more sudden. On track i usually brake like 0%-100%-30%-0%. On loose stuff it is anyway game of balancing on the edge of traction, so variations are different, usually nobody brakes pedal-to-the-metal unless you are facing something really scary and survival instincts take over. In gocarting, it is very clearly visible who is "hard" braking and who is smooth. Hard braking guys usually have visually very aggressive driving style, they wobble in the turns, slide around etc while smooth braking guys only slide at very sharp turns using slide to aid turning. Many years back i was such aggressive guy and despite all i tried, i got solidly beaten by very smooth schoolmate - who in later years became our national champ in track racing. Since then i also tried to be less aggressive on braking and IMHO it has helped me to be better driver.Quote:

Thanks mate! That's exactly what I was referring to but we have here some boneheaded internet warriors who clearly are very good at starting a spitting contest. So I must warn you - they're coming after you for speaking out!Quote:

Eh, there is clearly something with sensitive brake lights. Nobody starts to feel brake grip when still going flatout. :DQuote:

For those wondering, the incredible tyre change times during the Panzerplatte yesterday: @thierryneuville
/@nicolasgilsoul
1m12s
@SebOgier/Ingrassia 1m22s
Absolutely incredible during the stage!
wow
plenty of sangliers

and the result

De Villers video,a good one.Clearly hyundai was the one with less top speed
https://youtu.be/QTjhzPovKJs
In one of the Saturday's stages there was a downhill along the forest near the end. On the all-live all Hyundais were in rpm limiter at 185-186 km/h, Toyotas and Citroën around 190 km/h (no limiter most likely) and M-Sport cars up to 194 km/h without noticeable limiter.Quote:

Tanak believed Neuville could have beaten him to the win.
"On Friday, we were normally one or two tenths faster per stage than he was but on Saturday, it was actually the opposite - Thierry was actually a bit faster than I was," said Tanak.
"It was looking difficult, so I must say that if it had continued the same way, I would have accepted second place."
