Would it be better for Neuville (and Evans, I guess) to open the road on dry surface or with some mud? Normally in a gravel rally, the first on the road would hope for some rain to lower the sweeping effect, but in Safari?
Thanks, that's interesting. I imagine, that when you do the recce, you will write everything down with a pencil. When do you have the time to type this into a computer? I have always had the impression that co drivers read from the handwritten sheets.Quote:

I take my mobile printer and spare pacenote paper to type up after recce. Got templates etc all arranged so doesn’t take me that long. But think I’d be the only one doing it.
Only slight issue with this one is 2022 the lanes were A (left) and B (right), but they swapped it round for 2023 so A was the right… I had made up a set of notes for starting on each lane.
Also national cars have the option to recce yesterday afternoon, so might’ve had the chance to do it then, but usually better to do it in the morning before the start.
I gave Gordon a copy of my notes to hopefully make recce easier for them, but he did rewrite in his own writing. Each codriver has their own way of doing things and own preferences.
I dont know, but there could be some advantage for them, if they will do the stage before the rain. They could have this kind of luck.. Otherwise, its maybe better to be dryQuote:

Safari Rally to be extended to 5 days
The government is planning to extend the World Rally Championship (WRC) Safari Rally from a three-day sporting event to five days.
President William Samoei Ruto directed the Ministry of Sports to work with the International Automobile Federation (FIA) and the WRC to make this a reality.
"I think it is time to consider the request by drivers to return the rally to the five days it used to be," said President Ruto.
That's good news.
More and more difficult for the fans to follow..Quote:

Expensive few km…
There’ll be other shorter sprint events as well, so should hopefully not cost much more overall. And might open up more stages in other areas. Done some brilliant ones around Nanyuki just over the equator.Quote:

And... can't see SS1 from this morning on rally.tv, it just does a loading animation. I can only get the live stream, which is a Sweden replay.
Sigh.
yeah, had the same problem today, whatever they did to the app since Sweden made it worse. At the end I had to refer to airplay and that worked...Quote:

Friday weather forecast:
Afternoon showers. 40% chance of rain. 26C.
Some sections of black cotton in Kedong, but not really any in Loldia or Geothermal.
I really like Loldia. Very twisty and technical, lots of really bumpy sections, some fast open parts and the section around the hill is very loose (lots of uphill/downhill hairpins) and will probably sweep quite a lot for following cars. Not one to be first on the road. Some zebra around but not that common to see them in this one.
Seems really rough for the cars alreafy from the beginning and rear ends pouncing a lot..
Nice split by Adrian
Good afternoon from Japan. Looking forward to an eventful Safari...as it always is!
Neuville really on it and you could see it also from outside cameras
Evans losing a lot to Neuville at the end.. +9
Yes, made quite a gap over Evans on this stage.Quote:

Who else is running 1 spare? Honestly, It is just stupid to carry 1 spare instead of 2... Kedong is always full of punctures
I hope he was speaking figuratively and the car is not actually FWDQuote:

Must have been something as he lost about 5 seconds during last 2 sections to Lappi.Quote:

Absolutely. An entry list of 23 cars (excluding nationals) is poor. Will be extremely difficult for WRC TV to fill an hour. It’s supposed to be the biggest motorsport event in the whole continent……Quote:
