I thought 'all the driving is over' ...
Interesting fact:
On the long flat out section it was again:
Hyundai 189-190
Citroen 190
Toyota 200
This is pretty much exactly same numbers (and same differences between cars) like in Sweden this year and last year in Finland. Sure it depends on gearing, but this would mean they use similar gearing for these rallies.
Could someone explain me what's with the constant "excuse the language" remarks every time someone uses a bit stronger language. The reason why it's annoying me is that it brings more attention to what was said. Like otherwise you'd just glide over the fact that someone cursed, but when someone emphasis it by apologising ...
So losing places by mistakes is not driving. Shut up.

First stage win for Latvala in 2018
Great shot of Tanak from the heli !
Haven't been here for past few months, still arguing I see : )
Anyway, for those without WRC live:
Off and stage end interview (f---)

It's a broadcasting thing, if they don't acknowledge/apologise in some way it can be seen as accepting that it's ok. Just covering themselves.
so Latvala finally gets his stage win this year and Meeke being Meeke
If Tänak somehow wins the power stage from first on the road then it would be like a win but with just 20 points less :p
Hopefully he will get some points, Neuville will push for sure and ogier is also pushing no matter what he says.
Now that Jari finally gets a stage win, who left out of the manufacturer drivers hasn't won a stage yet this year?

FIA should have tweaked the rules as a can of worms has been opened after Sweden.
However the power stage will be pretty clean after the first pass, so it won't be anywhere near as bad as Sweden was. I won't be too surprised if a guy near the front wins it by risking everything as they have nothing to lose

All Live down just when they are about to start the stage?:mad:
Edit: working again now
If the Power Stage is a designed for TV spectacle (which it is) then they simply can't continue to let this continue if the stage winner comes in after they've gone off air. Rules aside, it renders it pointless as broadcast entertainment.
That said I'm really intrigued to see what happens and who checks in when...
They should just change the penalties to count towards powerstage times on sunday. That way they count towards general classification as well. Problem solved.
Mikkelsen off a bit there...
Can Meeke just take it steady for a podium... good gap to 4th now.
Hopefully they will have some rule how to drive through that chicane at the end. Neuville won quite a bit of time by cutting each of the barriers while others have taken it cleanly.
"Meeke aerodynamic tunning atelier: we make your car faster!" :D
Neuville checking how hard the chicane is maybe, bit silly to have a type like that in a power stage when you can gain half a second
Pretty fast recce by Meeke !
