Great report Munkvy, keep up the good work! Andreas' nervousness makes him look very fast but he actually loses time with it, same thing from many years.

The RC servo with the joint? That's the butterfly valve for watersplashesQuote:

Kalle must have paid the organizers to get in front of Serderidis :D
New South Wales, Australia - rain radar - a few showers around

Most of the small reflections are actually false reflection caused by inversion effect;) But I agree, it is tireing to do weather for Australia while living in Estonian timezone :PQuote:

Rain will help Ogier in the front, but no rain today as far as I can tell.
Rain is in the forecast for tomorrow, but the forecasts are usually wrong in Aus as the weather is difficult to predict.

I hope Brendan Reeves gets a bigger gap between him and the R2 car in front of him, 5mins isn't enough on a long stage that's for sure!
Just getting up to go to first stage now, it's been raining in the night, but not currently, it's warm(ish) and calm here, some dark clouds on the horizon though.
Road still dry and dusty or a bit damp?Quote:

The fastest 3 shakedown times were set after the RC2 cars then... pedantry for the win! ;)Quote:

Fri 08:07 - Weather
After plenty of summer sunshine in the last few days, it's a grey and cloudy start in Coffs Harbour today. The temperature is 19˚C and should hit 23˚C this afternoon. Some spots of rain reported on Stage 2, and there is a threat of more widespread showers later.

I would say that dust might be an issue right now, for the first stage, there is no wind and it is dry with 2-3 raindrops from time to time. Sweeping is also big factor, especially for SS1
Hello guys! Let's enjoy the last rally of a very exciting year.
Finally our friends from Oceania continent will enjoy a rally in a proper timing. Cheers guys!
I'll also give you my prediction: Latvala will bring this home.
unconfident start for Tanak
Tänaks rear difusor is gone
Big watersplash near the start. Many will have problems there. Just where the road turns north
Good start from Meeke!
Latvala still dragging those technical gremlins along.

Meeke impressed by Ogier's great time despite opening the road.
Neuville finally wake-up
Latvala wake-up too!
Because Ogier manual shift.Quote:

Lefebvre with right rear puncture at ss1
Mikkelsen and Meeke class of their own at the moment but then very tight after neuville....not a good start for Fords so far.
Lappi has again troubles at right-hand corner
