Yeah agree. Right now PR should be more important for M-Sport than standings.Quote:

In respect for Loeb, nothing will change before last TC.
let's wait for the next one. i don't see it as so bad. they showed some good. no service didn't help (with midday service they could have a podium fight).Quote:

let's see when the missing spare parts arrive.
I see as if they just didnt have enough time to iron out all the problems and produce enough spare parts.
The neuville damper ejection was a bit worrying though, as it indicates that they still havent managed to build a strong enough suspension mount... How that is possible for a top team in the world - i dont understand.
Another technical issues for Hyundai
which one?Quote:

2nd or 3rd is hardly going to make a world of difference in PR. They aren't denying Seb a famous win, he will still be on the podium and everyone will know he checked in late to help his team mate/ Msport.
Someone explained this to me a few years ago but I forgot.
What are the crossed out stickers on the back with what looks like a spiked tire for?
Just sticker - studded tyresQuote:

Making up that much time would require some pretty next-level pushing that would risk a crash. I think M-Sport will want the points for P2, and may have suggested he take it easy and secure 2nd.

Based on RC2 guys, powerstage will be a bit puncture-lottery as well. Rally is not over yet.
i heard it. but that's not an issue, just settings. it's not that's broken...Quote:

Unbelievably, Gryazin has found himself in 3rd place from back in about 20th after Thursday's trouble.
Hyundai maybe using washers in diff made of carbonfiber, instead of metal. (Also from Swedish Television)Quote:

That makes sense. IIRC, the carbonfibre plates can wear out prematurely if not bedded-in correctly.Quote:

Discussion over. Loeb will win if nothing happens to him.
Even without snow monte is monte
FFS I cant see this. :(
Not over, if Loeb even a slight hesitant and Ogier goes for it, it might be closeQuote:

I think Ogier cut one left corner too much.
