Its just 10 seconds. If you are fast, you will get this back. Not ideal, but still playable.

I can’t believe Tänak made this choice
What a fail. Valuable seconds already lost to Rovanperä
On a super fast rally that could be decided by tenths, you can't just gift Kalle a headstart (on top of his favourable road position)
1-2-3-4 for toyota
lets see if Neuville can split them
Im sure there will be lot of accidents on this rally and you are just finishing it after first stage
The road order for tomorrow will be decided today or...?
E: Nevermind
It was decided - https://rally-base.com/2024/tet-rall...imeTypeId=1598
Solberg just smashed Sami
Calm down. Sometimes tactics come into tyre choices for the rest of the event. No point using up softs now when they might be more needed for multiple stages later in the event. Tonight is only a single stage and if others are choosing the same, you’d think that they can’t all just randomly get it wrong.
I couldn't confirm this info but in our local WRC broadcast one presenter said that as the main compound is soft you can have all 28 tyres soft so you don't need to choose the hard at all.
And about Tänak's choice then yes it was risky but this time it didn't pay out. I think all of them said that they didn't know what would be the better one here. I think the logic was that the soft would overheat and there would be massive gains but the tarmac was already too cold.

awesome to see a packed stands like that! (from a dirtfish video with colin clark and hollie mcrae > https://www.facebook.com/DirtFishRal...9119241003859/ )
not a good first stage for Brandon, eh
I like this short stage for starters. Can see every driver from start to finish
Morning guys. Let´s hope for an exciting rally as always.
Tänak not confident at all and the time shows
Kalle on another level, what a time!
Neuville has no chance today
The Hyundais seems to struggle on this stage?
Lappi also slow
I think this rally goes according to presumptions. No sensations in that case. So far.
It doesn't look good for Tänak or Hyundai but let's wait for first proper stage.
With this cleaning effect I have seen, Lappi is only chance for the win for Hyundai I would say.. He has to speed up
So Neuville lost exactly 1s per km on this stage, so he should loose 27 seconds on the longest one
Looks like massive cleaning in SS3 also. Neuville's road is full of loose gravel.
Kalle losing bunches of time on first split!
EDIT: must be error in timing...
EDIT 2: corrected now.
Strange time for Kalle?
OK splits are just messing.
Great stage from Tänak
Ott back at it thankfully.
Sesks coming pretty fast
Sesks absolutely crazy in the middle of the stage. 1.8 faster than Kalle
Bro will take the lead
