LOTOS 73rd Rally Poland 2016

i loled reading that.

Quickest again and Tanak's lead is up to 18sec. "Feels quite fast in the car''

Haha! Some nice quotes from Tänak on this rally!

Evans again faster,now 12,9 from Suninen overall

Fuchs rolled. Continues.

It's quite unusual for him to crash so often like lately.

Funny how no one is discounting him today - probably still too much time to make up but he's keeping Suninen and Lappi honest.

It's true that all drivers from here who drove both say that Fiesta is a lot more forgiving car :)

The only recent example of a major (human) error was Catalunya when he had switched off with the win in the bag. This is, as was said, the rally where sweeping is the biggest handicap - don't bet against him sneaking 3rd and another PS win.

I am not talking about going off, but when he gets in to mental ruts like he is in now because of sweeping - last real time was 2014 - it affects his driving. He is still off course still the worlds best rally driver, but he has weaknesses in his driving, and he is loosing more time because this mental state.
But you still have to get up VERY early in the morning to beat him in a Championship :)

So if I heard it right on WRC Radio yesterday - if the Drive Dmack Trophy standings stay like they are then Osian Pryce will have already won himself 2 WRC2 rounds in an R5 next year. Such an amazing prize.
