Goddammit. How is it possible that Solberg gets again a lucky escape?
Fourmaux not that lucky..
It will go like this until the end of the year. Oliver misses the experience with this car on different rallies, simple as that and seems to be he has put enourmous expectation to himselfQuote:

Estonian commentator said that Solberg had one broken tire and rear wheel was not straight. Not official news but that's what he said.Quote:

Not such a mistake by Fourmaux: "I lost the brakes, we went wide and had the double puncture on previous stage".
Evans and the tow truck:

The tow truck on a live stage is crazy.
Good videos, shows that these cars can take big hits and usually keep going.Quote:

Also, how did that tow truck get there, wouldn't the 0 car have recently gone through? Will Evans get a bit of time given back by the stewards?
Btw some news regarding the rally, they plan to move it east from Porto next year…all I’ll say is the organisation and the fact this service park is dead by 20:35 and having a schedule so tight I only got to watch one stage in the morning and even that was just for the final three Rally1 cars cause parking was a mess….I won’t miss it.
Pajari scooped up a stone onto the windscreen. The stage was full of them.Quote:

I wonder what fines do those people actually get. Or even more importantly, were they official stuff from rally organizers?
Ughhhh.. what a sh!t show even being here for the rally!!
Special day today! There is a massive 33min service between loops..
So what happened to the rain ?
It's drizzling for Ogier.
Why?Quote:

Solberg - good or reckless? Smashes the time but still arrives with damage.
Ogier humbled.
There you go... the rain finally arrived and the rally turns on its head !
This is why a world championship needs weather. Not Monte, Sweden + 12 rounds of sun with the threat of showers.
Roll on, roll off, Armstrong... la-la-laaa...
Seemed like to fast into the corner leading to hitting the wall.
Unlucky that it rolled the car though.
Looked like a crash in Dirt Rally
Shame after a 3rd fastest time. Cruel sport.
Yea yeah, it’s sports fault being cruel not the drivers fault lacking the talent
“I really enjoyed the first pass of the stage, so I was trying to keep a good rhythm and see what we could do on the second pass,” Armstrong told DirtFish, “but maybe slightly underestimated the grip levels from basically the weather change, but also the slower cars that have gone through, the tracks are a bit loose.
“So when we came through this left into right over a small crest, just the rear stepped out quite quickly and then touched the bank and put the car into a roll on the road. So yeah, really frustrated to obviously go out like this. And yeah, it’s pretty tricky in these conditions, but hadn’t really done a proper afternoon loop in the rally yet.
“So yeah, we just got caught out basically, not really expecting that level of low grip.”
Front right puncture for Solberg and drops behind Evans...
Torrential rain now :bounce:Quote:

Nice mudbath at Lousada...
What happened with Fourmaux the second half of the day?
Very slow times
I didn’t follow
In such a famous rally like the Portugal Rally, we only have 12 pages of comments, even though interest used to be much higher in the past.
People lost interest in sharing emotions with the other rally fans :(Quote:
