With that 1 sec per km it's going to be 1 minute loss for the tomorrow morning loop only for the front runners. Let the Friday heroes shine.Quote:

Nice time from McErlean - 2nd run and just 1 sec behind Tänak, 4th fastest. Yes, it's only a shakedown, but it gives some hope that M-Sport is not that far behind.
For keeping the mood: https://areena.yle.fi/tv/ohjelmat/57-0lnKYEMNp - you can listen finnish rally radio
With an attempt to help pickem-organizer, please recheck your pickems format: use everything in one line and use the names provided in the pickem list (not Tänak instead of Tanak).
I post it here as most likely no one revisits the pick 'em thread after posting.
With a quick scroll-through, the following participants should correct their entries:
* bandit12 (Tänak)
* fantastic.priit (not following the format)
* Reis Eduardo (Tänak)
* spark13 (missing own name)
* Quest (multiline)
Taka with a killer time, hope he finds a way to stay like this.
Sadly they only drive stages twice
Its strange that Kalle's awesome performance on asphalt is not matched by that on dirt.
Thanks. Kiitos. Aitäh.Quote:

For me, simply Kalle found on Canarias something unique with setup and how to drive the car in that specific conditions.Quote:

That means that Ott will fly.
Not bad and better than the official shakedown live video which got 100% negative commentsQuote:

Latvala shows youngsters how driving should be done.
Latvala goes fastest beating some WRC2 regulars !
We should be glad to have Latvala driving in Rally2, he still is a good benchmark for the youngsters.Quote:

Let's hope the mood stays.
He seems to know somethingQuote:

Any videos of the hydrogen Toyota, to hear what it sounds like?
I have looked at yr.no weathercast for friday stages, and it seems that some rain happened this evening. Also some more rain during the second pass. I just hope Oyt has some smiles left after morning loop.
Bit of it on this...Quote:
