Was quite a bit of damage to Meeke's car, but most of it superficial ...

Meeke's crash. He really couldn't do anything about it. I like how their words are not censored.
Loubet had an accident at shakedown.

so, tomorrow the real rally begins, cant wait and it seems the drivers cant too. Tänak has to deliver finally, shakedown was very good! see you in the morning!
The are those big ruts in sandy section. So, first on road you have a bit of gravel but when you enter such ruts a bit wrong, you end up like Meeke.Quote:

i think this has happened before with Solberg in Germany some years back and i think he also finished on podium that year but i might be wrong.Quote:

I was looking high res onboard several times and there were just a few meters of ruts. So, he hit those in wrong angle and when the ruts ended and more solid surface started... bang and car was in the air already! They are slightly visible. The same stage was used last year and probably there were some holes already. These were filled but for some reason, this hole was rutted again and sandy surface came out again.Quote:

I was looking onboard again and it seems that right hand rut ends before the left ends, so, right han rut ends, lifts right hand side and puts more weight to the left, just a fraction later, left hand wheels reach to the end of the rut and get major hit with extra weight that lifts the car on its side and following roll.
Looking at the footprint on the pics it looks like the second compression on something that looks like a rock/stone flipped the car over - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh1XlG3LATQ

Yepp... In my sport, moto-cross, when we had made the suspension longer and longer from '73 to 77 when we got to 300mm and everything was right, life was good, but sometime when things went wrong it was much more "surprisingly catastrophic" and clumsy crashes that we wouldn't have had at all when suspension was just 175-200mm.Quote:

Always thought it was interesting that car suspension was so consistently about 30 years behind what we had on simple cheap moto-cross bikes..
too much analysis on a stupid accident that doesn't mean anything.... move along kids nothing to see here.
