For sure it's not hard, but what you described is a form of traction control, which is not allowed in Rally1.Quote:

In addition to becoming the oldest winner, he becomes the 3rd driver to win in 3 different decades (after Auriol and Waldegard). He also takes alone the biggest gap between 1st and last win.
- on a less positive note, it’s the 4th time since 2017 than a 3-car team does not bring at least 2 cars at the finish for the manufacturer championship (last time was M-Sport in Monza 2020)
- 5th mistake with ranking consequences in the last 5 rallyes for Katsuta (+ 2 spins). 3th in the last 3 for Fourmaux.
shitty pirellis,''cant understand why they dont fix them''.

So good to see Andrea looking great and as entertaining as ever. The championship and in particular Hyundai missed him last week. The sport needs Adamo, we can’t afford to lose people of his caliber and talent

Thanks for these, dimviii. I seem to be unusual in this, but I do like to watch the pretty GT cars go round. You only really get them in these fan videos.Quote:

I'm sure M-Sport will do a thorough tear down and inspection before rebuilding it though.Quote:

Wow, from that angle it looks more like Ott Tanaks, even if the speed is slower.Quote:

Spot on. The safety cell may be intact and the crew further away from the (spaceframe) chassis than with the old bodyshell cars, but the way the doors and panels are just 'attached' isn't much protection. A tree branch or a pole could come through after they fly off and do real damage.Quote:

And Sami Pajari was the first driver to win in a Rally3 world championship...Quote:

He is going through his career according to long-term plan, step by step. No need to have Skoda now...Quote:

He was always doing his own speed concentrating on himself. On some stages where he believes they can suits him he was pushing little bit more and times were there. From the top of RC2 drivers he was only one who was without any troubles.Quote:

If he had stuck with his original choice (2 studded/snow), like stage-winner Rovanpera used, he could've taken enough time there to win the rally...

To be fair Ogier still took 21s out of Loeb on the same tyres. On the snow tyres he might've lost more on the long tarmac sections which he said he enjoyed a lot.
i've heard it, and it makes for a speculative conversational piece. But a lot of "ifs" come into play in such situations, same as with his puncture, barrier contact, close to the slope edge, etc.Quote:

M-Sport released full stage onboard of Erik Cais from Sisteron, a stage which Erik won among all Rally2 drivers.
